I have an old, probably yew, veneered desk. I sanded it and have now given it two coats of dulux primer/undercoat and am dismayed to see yellow stains coming through! The primer is a water based one.
So, do I try a couple of coats of oil based white stain wood before my colour of choice (a Crown satin wood). Or, do I need to buy a shellac primer at huge (further) expense?
The aim to have a cream desk for my bedroom, not distressed in shabby chic style, just beautifully painted!
