Why did my door /floor change colour after it was painted with a clear finish?
Many of our clear finishes are water based. This naturally raises the grain of the wood. Oak and other woods rich in tannins may need to be treated more carefully with special primers first. For example AURO 117 Wood primer is recommended for these woods and stops them going orangey, due to the tannin, when painted with a clear finish. Oil based products naturally fire’ the wood and it’s difficult to stop this. Always try a test area to ascertain the tone you will get.
