FAQs

What surfaces can I use this primer on?

This primer is suitable for various surfaces, including wood, metal, plaster, and previously painted surfaces.

How much area does a 2.5L tin cover?

A 2.5L tin typically covers approximately 32.5 m² (at a coverage rate of 13 m²/L).

Can I use this primer outside?

Yes, this primer is suitable for both interior and exterior use.

How should I prepare the surface before applying the primer?

The surface should be clean, dry, and free from any loose or flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

How many coats of primer should I apply?

Generally, one coat is sufficient. However, on porous surfaces or when transitioning from a dark color to a light color, a second coat may be necessary.

What kind of brush should I use?

A high-quality brush designed for use with water-based paints is recommended.

How long should I wait before applying the topcoat?

Allow the primer to dry completely, typically 1-2 hours, before applying the topcoat.

How do I clean up after using the primer?

Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. If using oil-based paint, use white spirit.

Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a second coat if necessary.

Primer takes longer than 2 hours to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation and a suitable ambient temperature. Thick application can also extend drying time; apply thinner coats.

Uneven finish after application.

Apply the primer evenly using a high-quality brush. Avoid over-brushing, which can remove the primer and create an uneven finish.
