A friend of mine is having trouble with paint peeling from his 20 windows, luckily i was to busy to make his windows, so he asked a local
joinery to make them, he thinks the timber used was Sapele, they have been painted 4 times and after a year the paint has peeled off in
big patches, the joinery has washed their hands of the problem, he has been in contact with a couple of paint suppliers with no help.
Just wondering if anyone on here has had a similar problem, it sounds to me like they where made from iroko as it can be quite oily.
He has tried water and oil based products, but nothing stays on for long.
Was wondering if he rubs back or strips back to wood and uses a coloured stain like Cuprinol's Garden Shades or similar this would
stay on.
