Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have a small front deck off the living room that takes a real beating from the sun in the Summer and the rain in the Winter. It's mostly wood except for the floor planks whcin are some type of plastic/resin/composite material.
The top of the railings usually need repainting every year, sometimes they last two years if the weather has not been to bad. Moisture gets under the paint and it starts to bubble up. Other parts show small cracks, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. Once the scraper blade is inserted underneath the paint and primer peels off in strips ranging from 3 to 8 inches long, showing bear wood underneath. Not so good.
Currently I use an outdoor water based primer, and the normal paint I use on the trim.
Is there some special primer I can use that might resist the moisture better?
