I want to odor seal a piece of plain 1/2" plywood to go in the bottom of a blanket chest. It will be the sub-floor for a 3/4" aromatic cedar t&g liner.
Can I use some of today's modern "odorless" latex primers or paints instead of milk paint? Would 1 coat of primer be sufficient for the edges and faces? I'll only be applying a small amount of Titebond II to a few of the cedar boards in a lengthwise fashion. Will it take hold to the primer or should I lightly sand a few primed areas for better bonding?
Thanks in advance. |

Why don't you just use shellac. It is about the best sealant for odors and stains. If you're going to cover it this in the t&g cedar all you need is the sealing that shellac can offer. I wouldn't put any finishing product where you are expecting a good glue bond.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Ditto what he said. If you want white, get some Zinnser seal coat. It is shellac based.

with a light sanding, it (Zinser SC) has the same feel, at least to my hand, as a milk paint finish, too.
