I sanded my banisters and applied wood paint (recommended by the worker in homebase) for first coat, lovely. Second coat on and it peels everything away. Why?

Gloss on top of gloss will peel in small sheets. Easy fix.. Solvent based undercoat to tighten up the paint and stop it running. Light rub down and then f funish coat

Did all the priming and undercoat nothing would work, got Poundlands wood paint for a fiver thought got nothing to lose🤷‍♀️went on a dream just one coat

If it was oiled timber and you used water based paint it won’t stick.

Grease most likely, a degrease followed by a really good sand. Then appropriate primer and then top coats with denibbing (fine sanding) in between coats and removing dust.

If oil based and not down to bare wood it will peel. Also sugar soap it after sanding before priming xx
