We are painting all new trim, our customer is VERY VERY sensitive to many things. We've used your ecolacq sandable primer. Lots of bleed thru for our Poplar Wood, is your transitional primer sandable? I believe the only products we are approved to use are the AFM Safecoat products. SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Transitional Primer (Int/Ext) Paints & Primers

We spoke with the manufacturer and they confirmed that while the Transitional Primer is not as sandable as the Ecolacq Sandable, you can sand it, and it should lock down the previous bleed thru from the Poplar for you as well.Ecolacq Sandable is the recommended primer for raw wood. Transitional Primer is meant for previously painted surfaces.
