About 12 months ago I painted the wood in the house with brilliant white gloss. It was a decent brand.
Crown? Dulux?
Crown. There was no warning on the tin. And yes, I have seen the link before. Thanks for the reply
In theory a shellac based coating should stop the bleeding yellow. Knotting, sanding sealer, button polish. Bit of a dog's dinner though
Quick sand down and then some of the shellac?
How will laying Quick sand help the OP?
this isn't bleeding yellow, its ageing yellow from UV.,
Today's eco friendly paints simply have crappy safe organic pigments.
Never used to happen with white lead.
Or it may be the matrix its in. Instead of nice stable clear oil based ones,. its a water based heap of s**te acrylic that not UV stable.
he will drown in it before he notices how crap the paint he used really was.
Having Googled this shellac. It seems to come in a tin ... All I want is white wood that is not gonna turn yellow.
Helpful as always.
The yellow is bleeding through.
in knot shaped areas (typically rings) or everywhere?
strip it, treat any knots with knotting compound , prime with quality primer, use oil based undercoat and oil based top coat from a manufacturer who farts in the general direction of ecobollox.
About 20 years ago I painted the 2 handrails up the stairs with B&Q water-based paint. It went on well and easily and covered everything in 2 coats. For some of the year, some of the rails get sunshine in the afternoon and there's no yellowing - indeed no noticeable difference along the length. They don't make 'em like what they used to.
I use Berger paints and have a good finish and they keep their colour.

Looks dirty. Like in streaks.
Please NO!
Yes, but. If I use the water based paint again, will it work?

Maybe it only turns yellow if applied Liberally.
It's not the pigment which goes yellow, but the clear binder stops being clear and yellows. Doesn't need UV to do it either.
Indeed. So, do we have any artists posting here who actually make their own oil paint. Let's get back to real D-I-Y!
Indeed. And some paint stays white where it has been hit by UV but yellows elsewhere.
Have to say, no problems whatsoever with yellowing of recent paint (last
2/3 years) - even where some has been touched up due to physical damage and so would highlight any changes. Mostly, but not exclusively Leyland/Johnstones. None of it true gloss.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
