Oak tannin cover-up?

[bkharman]

Hey everyone,

I primed an oak project for a customer (my wife) back in late winter and finally have been getting around to picking back up on it.  It was recycling some old oak cabinet faces for a couple of decretive pieces and she wanted them painted off-white.

So I had primed them back in February with Sherwin Wall & Wood Primer after sanding them down to bare wood.  All went well back then, sloppy thick coats to hide most of the grain, and I was off to the races.  I pulled them out this weekend and saw that quite a few of them are now having the tannin color "bleed" through the primer coats.  My ultimate question is, if I paint over them with SW ProClassic (Acrylic Latex) will it "hide" the tannins from bleeding through?

Thanks to all of you finishers in advance here!

cheers.  Bryan

I'd prime them again. Kilz 2 of SW Multi Purpose Primer/Sealer.

Use the Pro Classic acrylic alkyd, instead of the Pro Classic acrylic latex. Both are water clean up.

Thanks Tom.

I already had a gallon of the Acrylic Latex on hand... is there that much of a difference?  Either in hardness or cure time?

thanks again,

Bryan

Hardness and level out.

Be careful when applying Pro Classic. It will ge going just great then that slightest bit more will cause it to run.
