How to Prep Wood For Stain: Sanding, Cleaning & Color Selection

Begin with the end in mind

Does GF Milk Paint require primer?

Milk Paint Preparation and Sanding

GF Milk Paints are self-sealing so it is not necessary to use primer.

You may use a white pigmented stain-blocking primer if you need to cover grain, paint light or white color on dark wood, or if you're painting a wood that is known to bleed, such as pine or mahogany. We recommend using General Finishes Stain Blocker, Kilz or Zinsser white pigmented shellac-based primers.
