For new cedar trim, it is crucial to use a high-quality exterior primer that is specifically designed for use on wood surfaces. I recommend an oil-based wood primer for its excellent adhesion and protection properties. Look for a primer that is specifically formulated for cedar and other porous woods, as this will ensure optimal penetration and sealing of the wood fibers.
If oil based primers are not available, one excellent option is Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer, which is a versatile water-based primer that adheres well to wood and provides a durable base for topcoat applications. This primer is known for its excellent adhesion, stain-blocking properties, and resistance to mildew and mold growth, making it an ideal choice for new cedar trim that is exposed to the elements.
When applying the primer, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper surface preparation and application. This typically involves cleaning the surface, sanding any rough spots, and applying the primer using a high-quality brush or roller. Apply to all sides and cut ends of the wood trim. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying any topcoat paint to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish on your new cedar trim.
