Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this as a final coat?

No, this product is specifically designed as an undercoat. It requires a suitable topcoat for final decoration and protection.

What surfaces can I use this undercoat on?

It is suitable for wood, metal, plaster, brickwork, and cement, including new and bare surfaces.

How many coats of undercoat should I apply?

Typically, one coat is sufficient, but a second coat may be beneficial on very porous surfaces or when covering a significantly dark colour.

Can I paint over this undercoat immediately?

You should allow the undercoat to dry thoroughly according to the product's drying times before applying your topcoat. Check the packaging for specific recommendations.

Is this undercoat suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, this undercoat is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

How do I clean my brushes after using this product?

Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use.

What is the best way to apply the undercoat?

Troubleshooting

Undercoat not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and possibly lightly abraded if glossy). Check that the surface is not excessively damp.

Uneven finish

Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Ensure consistent application with a brush or roller. Allow proper drying time.

Slow drying time

Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. Avoid applying too thickly.

Poor coverage over dark colours

Apply a second coat of undercoat if necessary, ensuring adequate drying time between coats. The obliterating properties are enhanced with sufficient thickness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage due to high build and obliterating properties.
  • Adheres well to a wide range of common building materials.
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects.
  • Fast drying time speeds up the painting process.
  • Provides a good base for achieving a uniform topcoat finish.

Cons

  • Requires a separate topcoat for final colour and protection.
  • 250ml size may be insufficient for larger projects.
  • Grey colour might not be suitable as a base for very light or vibrant topcoats without additional coats.
  • Specific formulation means it's not intended as a final decorative finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For glossy surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion.

Application: Stir the undercoat thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. Two coats may be necessary for very porous or uneven surfaces. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for wood, metal, plaster, brickwork, and cement. Always apply a suitable topcoat after the undercoat has dried.

Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
