  • Applied some fine surface filler, sanded back and applied a first coat of primer (valspar stuff I had knocking about. It's got a reasonable amount of solids I think, but they drop out of suspension pretty quickly so you have to keep stirring.
    Hopefully this will look ok after a light sand.

  • drop out of suspension pretty quickly

    That is a common problem with primers. I usually stir the tin really well and then put a small amount in a painters pot where I can stir it a bit with the brush as I'm going along.

    Sometimes after an undercoat you can very lightly hand sand some of the 'fluff' you can see there off.

  • Yep, looking better after a rub down. Think I'll do a second coat and call it done. The other edges all look pretty smooth already so hopefully it's straightforward from here
