Restore a Weather-Beaten Exterior Door Jamb Like New! | Ekasand + Rustoleum Triple Thick Primer

What happens here

Pour Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick primer into a clean paint pail. Begin applying the first coat of primer to the door jamb using a brush, focusing on areas with exposed bare wood and feathered edges from sanding. The primer's white tint makes it easy to see coverage. Ensure an even coat, feathering the edges where new primer meets existing painted surfaces to create a smooth transition. Allow the first coat of primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the wood grain has raised or feels fuzzy after drying, lightly sand it with a fine-grit sanding sponge before applying the next coat.

What they say

Hide

triple thick is a a highresin primer. Can be used for all different kinds of things. Um, great primer to solve all kinds of problems. Exterior painting. I use it on just about every single exterior I do paint, you know, these days. Use it on a lot of composite siding that has blisters on it. It'll fill the blisters, seal the blisters. I use it on bare wood, high resin. It'll go on bare wood. It's tinted white. So, I like it cuz you can see once it dries uh where it goes. There's other products similar to it that are not white, they're clear. So once they dry, you cannot tell where you've actually gone with your primer. So triple thick dries white. So I really like that. So I'm not going to pull it out of the bucket. I'm just going to pour some in my bucket here. You can see how thick it is. So, they call it triple thick for a reason. So, look how thick this stuff is. Look at that. Doesn't even hardly run off the brush. Start brushing this on there. So, I like to my uh primer, triple thick primer, wherever I put it, I like to brush it on. So, you can brush it, you can spray it, you can roll it, but I always like to brush it. If you spray it, you definitely got to have a tip thick enough to spray it. That's for sure. So, I showed you, it's so dang thick. It's got primer on it, so I don't need to prime all of it. Anything that's exposed bare wood that's peeling, I want to get a coat on it. And it's going to where you see there's bare wood and then primer. Triple thick will help feather that out so you won't see that. It's a cool day, so it's not going to dry too fast. So, I got time. It like if it's really hot, you got to move pretty quick. I want to be careful in this wind that I don't get any on that um door. Door's freshly painted, you know, down here. I'll just put, you know, some on this whole door jamb down low because it's what gets the weather. So, might as well since I'm priming, I've got to wait for this all to dry to sand it. I'll just prime all of it. I like to once again brush it because I like it's really thick. So, it's going to either leave brush strokes or stipple marks. And you know, a hand brushed door jam looks really nice versus it all stippled from a roller. And usually when I've got peeling a peeling door jamb like this, I'll usually lightly sand it with a sponge and then put one more coat on. So I'm going to go I've got other things to paint. though today. So, I'm getting this primed, giving it time to dry. And I'll cover my bucket up…
