Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contaminants.
Bare wood: Sand smooth and wipe clean. If necessary, cover any knots with International Knotting Solution and prime with an appropriate wood primer.
Bare metal: Ensure surface is free from rust before priming with an appropriate metal primer.
Previously painted surfaces: Remove any flaking or blistered paint/rust and ensure bare metal is spot primed. Always sand down and wipe clean.
Bare MDF: Sand smooth and wipe clean. Prime with International Quick Drying MDF Primer.
How to use
Stir well with a broad stirring stick to the bottom of the can. This is essential to ensure an even colour and finish.
For best results, apply 2 coats using a natural bristle brush suitable for solvent-based paints and work well into joints and end grain. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly, then sand down lightly and wipe clean before applying the second coat.
Cleaning
Remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning. For best results use Polycell Brush Cleaner.
