What kind of primer should I use before painting?

The primer you use depends on the surface and the type of paint you'll be using. If you're painting over a previously painted surface, you can often get away with using a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Paint-Primers/Universal/N-5yc1vZbt0tZ1z0ut90?emt=plpfaq_2408_primers" style="text-decoration: underline;">general-purpose primer</a>. However, if you're painting over a bare surface, you may need a primer specifically designed for that surface.

What type of primer should I use for my wood furniture?

When working with wood furniture, you'll want to choose a primer designed specifically for wood. These primers are often oil-based and provide excellent adhesion to the wood grain, preventing the paint from peeling or flaking over time. Additionally, look for a primer to block tannins and knots in the wood, as these can bleed through the paint and cause discoloration.
