Sorry for the delay. Busy as heck here.
Latex primers dry too quickly to get a good bond. Oil primer stays wet longer allowing better penetration.
As for flexibiliy, primers don't flex like paints anyway, latex or oil.
If you insist on a latex primer, look into "Stix" primer by Brunning. Much better that a multi-purpose primer like Fresh Start.
To powerwash or not is up to you but a primer is absolutly nessisary on any porous surface or the paint will not adhere. If you choose not to use a washer, be certain to rinse VERY WELL.
I'm aware that most people don't like to use oil materials of any sort. They take longer, they require solvents for clean up and they stink. In the long run, the project will last longer. |
