Wood continuing to absorb paint- advice appreciated

Posts: 2 Newbie
Despite applying 6 coats of Dulux Trade water based primer undercoat to new 2 ply doors the absorption of the paint by the doors continued & the results were highly unsatisfactory. Dulux Helpline said Satinwood would cover so I applied 3 coats of that water based paint but still there is grinning.
How can I get a good finish given that the doors now have 9 coats of paint?

There lies your problem. Water based primeron new wood is only effective ad that - a primer.
You then needed to apply at least 2 coats of a solvent (oil) based undercoat.
You need to sand it all down, apply the oil based undercoat and then your gloss/satinwood.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
