▣ preparing to paintingposted by aaron on May 1st, 2008 at 4:03 AM (MST) 3 Comments added to this post
Painters are always doing work that is not easily recognized. As painting goes the work involved in the preperation for painting will show through to the finish. We often times can spend the majority of a day preparing a surface and surrounding areas for a painting process that will only take a couple of hours. The process of patching, texturing or smoothing, priming, covering, taping and cleaning can make or break the finished project.

You should probably back up your acusations with FACTS. Latex primers are a far better system allowing trapped moisture to get out. There are several reason why your primer would fail, improperly cleaned area, contaminants, moisture,etc... Oil primer is best used where tannin bleed would be a problem or rust. go to this link for more information
