    Has anyone used this on fitted kitchens?

    How did they find it?

    Especially on veneered or varnished doors?

    It's a good primer, sand the surfaces lightly before you apply it.

    Failed on me with a kitchen. Left it overnight. Next morning it was like butterfly skin. Try Renner 643. Crowd in Kells are the Irish distributors. Great gear!

    Was using the Ralston Aqua and finishing with WB50, which I find excellent. But there's no place local selling them, that's why I thought I'd try the Fleetwood.

    I have a varnished stairs to paint in a few weeks, would it be okay for the banister and spindles?

    I've recommended this product on here before.
    I've used multiple times on previous varnished kitchens and stairs and new timberwork and I'd highly recommended it.
    It's can also be tinted

    Owatrol ESP is what you want. Fleetwoods stock it, but you can pick it up nearly anywhere. Woodies even stock it, but it'll be a bit dearer there.

    Jesus, I'd give the Pure Grip a miss. Its the only Fleetwood paint I don't rate in fairness. The Renner, I'm still testing, but so far, it has stuck to ceramic tiles brilliantly. There is another great WB primer, Caparol Haftprimer. I ordered 70 litres of this stuff before the Brexit rules came in, in January. You literally cannot scrape it off varnished wood two hours after spraying ( in warm room with good airflow).

    what would you reconmend to prime a varnished old wooden ceiling . i dont want to sand much if i can help it. the face is easy give a key to but there is a 3/4 inch recesed bit every t and g. i was planning on spraying on this pure grip primer but dont think i will now.
    would 123 be good enough

    If you don't want to sand too much, I'd hit the knots with either BIN or Terminator ( from Fleetwood. As good if not better than BIN for @ 15% less cost). . Then Coverstain of Bloxx It ( Coverstain will dry a good bit faster). You will need give a light sand on the faces, then I think Fleetwood Advanced range is as good as any for topcoats. Hasn't got as good a name as Colourtrend but that is because CT marketing dept is bloody brilliant. FWood advance is every bit as good imo.

    Used the Advanced Range waterbased Satinwood on a few bookcases yesterday. Really nice stuff to use.

    Great coverage in it aswell, 2 coats of celestial blue went over the white primer no problem.
