Product Information

Full details

The Blackfriar High Build Obliterating Undercoat is an ideal solution for DIYers and professionals looking to prime and prepare wood, metal, and plaster surfaces for a topcoat. Its standout feature is its powerful high-build formula, which offers superior coverage and color obliteration, effectively masking imperfections in a single application. While it provides an efficient base for both interior and exterior projects, users should note that as an undercoat, it is designed strictly for priming and preparation rather than serving as a durable finish coat on its own.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this undercoat on plastic surfaces?

This product is primarily designed for wood, metal, and plaster. For specialized materials like plastic, a dedicated adhesion primer is usually recommended.

Does it need to be thinned before use?

It is generally formulated for direct application, but check the back of the tin for specific manufacturer recommendations regarding thinning for spray applications.

How long should I wait before applying a topcoat?

While it is quick-drying, it is recommended to wait until the surface is touch-dry and firm, typically following the specific drying time guidelines on the label, usually between 4 to 6 hours depending on ambient temperature.

Is this product suitable for use on radiators?

While it can be used on metal, ensure the radiator is completely cool before painting and that you are using a topcoat suitable for heat exposure.

Can I use this on floors?

No, this is an undercoat designed for walls, furniture, and general woodwork. It lacks the durability and abrasion resistance required for flooring.

Troubleshooting

The undercoat appears patchy during application.

Ensure you have stirred the paint thoroughly as the high-build solids can settle at the bottom of the tin.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Check that the surface was properly cleaned of grease, oil, or dust, and verify that any glossy surfaces were sanded to create a key.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior hiding power for dark or stained surfaces
  • Fills small surface imperfections due to high-build nature
  • Versatile application across different substrates like wood and metal
  • Reduces the number of topcoats required due to excellent base coverage
  • Fast drying time improves overall project efficiency

Cons

  • Not intended to be used as a final topcoat
  • May require sanding between coats for the smoothest finish
  • Limited color range options for specific base tones

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dirt before application. For glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve mechanical adhesion. Stir the product thoroughly before use to ensure the high-build solids are evenly distributed. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or medium-pile roller for best results. Once finished, clean all tools immediately using white spirit or a suitable brush cleaner. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from skinning or drying out.
