would gardz give the same effect on pre primed interior doors as it does with pre primed mdf mouldings?

in the case where ready primed mdf feels rough on the moulded sections is it best to sand them prior to applying the gardz but by doing so would remove the factory primer?

Only sand if you can do it without exposing the raw MDF. It may be more beneficial to use primer instead of Gardz in your scenario. Sounds like you need to build up the prime coat to an acceptable surface before applying paint. |

So I assume your brushing & rolling new construction first coat then spraying the finish coat? The only thing we brush and roll are walls. Trim and doors are sprayed. But jack if your going into houses with carpet and furniture it must take,longer to spray. |

Yes. Gardz can be applied over primers. Gardz will perform best over dull flat porous primers. Perhaps not as effective over primers with sheen such as Zinsser 123. What would be best best primer from zinerser to gardz over and what would be the benefits of using gardz over? |

I'm going to try brushing out some unfinished trim with gardz. I imagine that sanding it smooth would be the first step, application, then nail hole fill. I saw a post somewhere on here about a water-based product that recommend wetting the surface before applying the product. It wasn't one I was familiar with so I don't recall the name. I just keep thinking about it... did the water decrease drag it help the paint absorb into the prime coat better? Pre-sanding trim would be specific to the type of finish on the MDF. Some MDF has a very thin factory primer that really shouldn't be touched. It can cause more harm than good by sanding it. If it burns through too easily, best not touch it. I never tried pre-wetting a surface prior to applying paint but I am left with no valid reason to explore it. waterbase gloss it works well. |
