ProBlock Primer, an Alkyd Primer by Sherwin Williams
Posted on March 14, 2019
ProBlock Primer by Sherwin Williams is an alkyd primer, which is basically an oil-based primer. Oil based primers are recommend when you have or need one of the following:
- Block stains
- Faster drying times
- Seal out water sensitive stains
- Dried water stains
- Smoke stains and related odors
- Grease or oil stains
- Ink stains
- Pencil stains
- Crayon marks
- Nicotine staining
- Wood tanning bleed (resin knots)
- Previously stained surfaced
- Soot stains
- Paraffin staining
- Previously wallpapered surfaces
- And under certain circumstances, rooms with strong odors
Oil-based primers are excellent options for sealing tannin bleed from redwood and cedar, along with sealing wood surfaces containing knots. We highly recommend priming walls with oil-based primers prior to painting rooms that were previously wallpapered. We also recommend priming previously stained wood surfaces (stained baseboards, trim, and doors, with oil-based primers.
