Is MDF primer OK for normal pine?

Sep 14, 2007 2 Replies

I can't see why not but thought I'd just check here - is it just 'overkill' to use MDF primer when ordinary stuff will do or is there something else? Just that I happen to have an opened can of it, just enough for a job, and would save me a trip to B&Q.



Thanks David



No, it's fine. MDF primer just means one with little free water, so it doesn't swell the fibres.

... and like many of these products seems to smell suspiciously of PVA. It seems to dry in a kind of rubbery way as well.
