Combining priming and undercoating properties, this product reduces the number of separate applications required during preparation. It penetrates and seals bare or previously painted wood, helping to promote uniform absorption and improved topcoat performance.
The result is a smoother finish with enhanced opacity and durability.
The quick-dry, low-odour formula makes it particularly suitable for use in occupied properties such as homes, schools and offices. Its water-based composition allows for easier cleaning of tools and reduced disruption on site.
Recommended for use on:
Interior doors, frames and trim
Skirting boards and architraves
Window frames
Exterior joinery and timber
Previously painted wood (properly prepared)
For resinous or problematic timber, a specialist primer may be required.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust or grease. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces before application. Apply evenly with a synthetic brush or suitable roller. Allow to dry thoroughly before lightly sanding and applying the chosen topcoat.
For decorators seeking faster turnaround times with professional results, this 2.5L pack offers reliable adhesion, strong sealing properties and compatibility with modern water-based finishing systems. It provides an efficient foundation for achieving a smooth, long-lasting painted finish on wood.
