    I am being told that there is an oil which can be applied to painted/stained skirting, window ledges etc to prepare them for a repaint rather than having to sand down.

    Can anyone advise what the name of this product is?

    (This is to avoid the dust, and the hassle of trying to get through horrible gloopy wood stain by sanding.)

    Thanks

    ESP is a very good product for painting fire places or fitted kitchens, where you are painting smooth glossy surfaces. It merely provides a "key" between coats.

    It will not remove any nibs or snots on woodwork which may be there from previous coats of paint.

    Get yourself a few metres of sandpaper and hand sand it. The amount of dust you will get from sanding it will be negligble, and you will get a much better finish.
