greatdayfor Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Kitchen has been boarded with a moisture resistant plasterboard (tapered edges filled) so should be ready to paint this weekend before units are fitted. Planning to use Leyland Trade vinyl silk for the final finish coat, do I need to use this first ? ... Leyland Trade Super Leytex High Opacity Matt Emulsion or any other recommendations welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 No primer needed Your taper should be using a gypsum primer once the sanding is done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 First cost needs to be thinned about 25% with water, next coat full strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) I've just made a washstand out of water resistant mdf. Used one of the Zinsser primers just as a precaution. Edit: oops I miss read the question. Edited April 26, 2023 by Temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discoeye Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Nod is right but if you don't know if its been done then mist coat or a suitable primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
