My copy of Scythe's metal mechs just started flaking rust after 3 years in a basement game room

Did you seal them first?

Oh, that's a great question. A lot of folks forget about the wood itself. If you're painting over bare wood, like a new dresser or trim, you absolutely need to seal it with a primer made for raw wood. Otherwise, the paint can peel or the wood tannins can bleed through and leave yellow stains. I've seen it happen on pine shelves where someone just slapped on regular paint. A good oil-based primer blocks that stain and gives the paint something to stick to.

I read that shellac-based primer works better for blocking tough stains like water damage.

Ever think about the wood's moisture content first?
