To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be treated with Dulux Trade Quick Dry Wood Primer Undercoat 2 in 1 are sound, clean and dry and free from any dirt or grime.
- Remove any mould or organic growth with Dulux Trade Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash
- Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
- Treat knotty or resinous timber with an appropriate knotting solution
- Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth or vacuum all traces of sanding dust
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
- Stir the thoroughly before and periodically during use, making sure to reach pigment in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Application is best with a synthetic bristle bristle brush, roller or spray system
- Apply 2 coats of Dulux Quick Dry Primer Undercoat to new or bare surfaces, allowing 2-4 hours between coats
- Previously painted surfaces are likely to only require 1 coat, except when a strong colour change is required
Thinning
- Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
- Normal use (not to be exceeded): Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
- Conventional spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 2.5 parts paint
- Airless spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
Spray Recommendations
- Conventional Spray: Satisfactory through most equipment
- Airless Spray: A typical set up for airless spray application would be a minimum working pressure on paint of 133 bars (2000 lb/sq in) with a spray tip size of 0.43mm (17 thou) and a spray tip angle of 60 degrees
