Prime/undercoat choice

Post by Dazco »

After my home strip down of Jambo a few years ago I have a few bits and pieces that need some attention. There are a couple of seams that need cleaning out and an area that had a fight with a bollard.
Like before, I have to do all the work outside ( which isn't ideal ). I'll be shot blasting the seams and removing as much sealant as possible then treating with vactan.
Question is , what is the best undercoat to seal the area up to protect from water Ingres prior to Rustoleum top coat.
Cheers , Daz

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but this is the exact question I am trying to find out about at the moment!

Hopefully one of the extremely knowledgeable types will be along soon. :-)
