Description
Leyland Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat is a high opacity, general purpose water-based primer. Quick drying and low odour, this acrylic white primer is a popular choice for interior and exterior bare timber surfaces.
Coverage Rate: Leyland estimate that 1 litre will cover approximately 13 square metres, depending on the nature and porosity of the surface.
Drying Times: Under normal conditions, touch dry within 30 minutes, and re-coatable after 1 to 2 hours.
Preparation
- Ensure surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease.
- Rub down bare timber surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper to remove raised grain and sharp edges.
- Apply Knotting Solution to knots and resinous surfaces.
- Rub down previously painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key.
- Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding.
- Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
Application
