Oil enamel VS Latex enamel
At J. Roderick Young Custom Homes we strive to be the best, and we give our customers the choice of using oil enamel vs latex on our interior woodwork. We like oil because it cures harder and feels smoother, than latex base enamel, but it is not as green as latex, which cleans up with water, and our goal is to be green, but the problem is most woodwork is made of MDF, pressed wood products, and if there is the slightest scratch that burns through the primer, the water base paint will cause it to blister, swell, feel and look horrible, this does not happen with oil base enamels. We apply two coats of oil primer on all are woodwork, which seals and helps eliminates any swelling from a water base product, most builders cut this corner and don't use oil or primer, we do! always, and this is where you will see we stand above the rest!
