I suspect when my verandahs were closed in in the 40s (to accomodate 6 children in a 4 room cottage) that damp proofing wasn’t a high priority. The paint has lifted as shown and I wondered if this product, designed for concrete/masonry would work on wood? I last painted them 20 years ago (with a turps paint, properly sanded and undercoated) and it wasn’t a job I want to be repeating too often - 10 double hung windows. Also what paint would people recommend please and any other solutions to the damp problem.
thanks in advance.
Just an update. I did more sanding than I ever want to do again and used Taubmans 3in1 sealer primer undercoat before applying 2 top coats to 9 windows in Semi gloss (another brand sorry) colour Dulux Lime White 1/4 strength. I want to leave it a while before completely closing the lower sashes hence the cat food props Another job ticked off from rain drenched Queensland!
Thank you for all your help.
Awesome work @Christine61! Well done.
Painting really is in the prep work, and you've done a wonderful job of it.
Many thanks for the update.
