umm - have I got to buy a whole tin of wood primer ?

[gingeroots]

I only need it for some architrave around one door ( bare wood ) .I've looked in B&Q and the cheapest seems to be about a tenner .

Can I use something else ? Or does anyone know where I can buy a small quantity ?

try wilkos, they do small tins for about £5/6 quid

Thanks Q .Sadly not near a Wilko .Though guess I could make the journey .Good to know .

Get combined primer/undercoat and give the woodwork three coats - your top coat will go on a lot better afterwards.

ok ,thanks ,that sounds doable!
