WOOD PRIMER

Alkyd based primer suitable for use on interior and exterior timber. Contains oils for wood fibre protection and alkyd resin for penetration into the substrate to ensure a good key is provided for subsequent top-coat application.

SPREADING RATE

Typically 8 - 10 square metres per litre, dependant on the type and profile of the wood being coated.

APPLICATION

Sand down new timber with progressively finer sand-papers until the desired timber finish is achieved. Dust off the surface well. Ensure that any knots visible are treated with a suitable knotting sealer as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply 1 coat Wood Primer with a good quality brush or roller. Thin up to 5% if necessary. Allow 8 hrs drying time before over coating with enamels or 48 hrs drying time if water based top coats are to be used.

ADVANTAGES

Good penetration into substrate
Balanced binder and oil levels to ensure good timber protection
Can be over coated with conventional top coats
