My husband and I recently nailed a grid of wood two-by-fours on our bedroom wall (pine, unfinished, plenty of knotholes). I was going to paint the wall with the grids of wood nailed to it a dark color, however a professional painter told me I need to prime the boards with an oil based primer so that the knotholes don't keep bleeding through.Do you have a Safecoat that the painters can use over the white oil-based primer that can later be painted with latex paint? I want to seal in some of the oil primer's VOCs because I am six months pregnant. Then, I wanted to paint the wall a color of my choice. What would you recommend? I don't want knotholes bleeding through, but I am very concerned about the fumes. SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Transitional Primer (Int/Ext) Paints & Primers

Use two coats of our AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer over the oil-based primer. Then you can paint over that with no problem. Transitional primer is made for latex paint to transition from oil to water. Together, the Transitional Primer and our zero-VOC paint will encapsulate the VOCs in your oil primer.
