FAQs

Can I use this primer on exterior surfaces?

While Aqua Uniprimer is suitable for many surfaces, its suitability for exterior use depends on the specific environmental conditions. Refer to the product label or consult with a professional for guidance on exterior applications.

How long should I wait before applying a topcoat?

Allow the primer to dry for at least 1 hour before applying a topcoat. Always check the primer’s touch-dry time, as drying conditions can vary.

Do I need to sand before applying the primer?

Sanding is generally not required for most surfaces, but lightly abrading glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. Always ensure surfaces are clean.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage rates vary based on the surface condition and application method. Generally, expect to get good coverage, but always apply two coats for optimal performance.

What should I do if the primer gets on my skin?

Wash the affected area with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Can I use a different brand of topcoat?

Yes, Dulux Trade Aqua Uniprimer is compatible with a wide range of water-based and oil-based topcoats from various brands. Ensure compatibility with the topcoat manufacturer's guidelines.

How do I store the remaining primer?

Store the remaining primer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.

Troubleshooting

Primer is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Stains are bleeding through after priming.

Apply a second coat of Aqua Uniprimer, especially on heavily stained areas.

Primer is taking longer than expected to dry.

Ensure the application temperature is above 8°C. Check for high humidity levels.
