About the full video

This DIY project demonstrates the process of preparing and priming wooden stairs, aiming for a 'white-washed' look with a protective finish. It involves initial hand sanding, applying a specialized white primer (Bona White), intermediate sanding with an orbital sander, and concluding with the finished, protected wooden stairs.

Step 3 of 6: Prime the Surface

Apply a high-quality exterior primer suitable for the step material (e.g., concrete or wood). Use a brush for edges and corners and a roller for larger flat areas. Ensure even coverage and allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. This step is crucial for good paint adhesion and durability, especially if the steps are bare or have been sanded down to the base material.
