Exterior Painting Tips | Restoring a door jamb
What happens here
With the door frame sanded, the presenter applies the first coat of primer. He uses Peel Stop Triple Thick primer, applying it with a brush to ensure it's pushed deeply into any 'checking' (small cracks) and splintering in the wood. He explains that applying primer this way, especially to bare wood, significantly improves the adhesion of subsequent caulk and paint layers, providing a more durable and uniform finish. He covers all exposed wood and areas where peeling paint was removed.
Goal: Seal bare wood and peeling paint with a primer coat
