• For previously painted or worn wood use a fine sandpaper of 240 grit work in the direction of to abrade the surface the grain remove any loose paint.
• Dust down entire surface.

Before applying stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure you are happy with colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependent on surface to be treated.

• Do not apply when there is the risk of rain or when temperatures are below 8°C or above 30°C.
• Protect from frost and rain until dry.
• Always ensure product is fully mixed before and during application to ensure consistency in colour and sheen.
• Do not thin, excessive thinning will reduce opacity.
• For best results use a good quality, soft bristle brush.

• Avoid over brushing.
• Apply 2 coats.
• Allow 24 hours drying time between coats.
• If the second coat is not applied within 48 hours, light sanding with a medium grade abrasive, to provide a surface “key” will be required. Ensure all dust is removed.
• Subsequent coats should be applied within 48 hours in order to provide full protection.
• Carefully denib the first coat using a fine grade nylon abrasive pad or a fine grade (P240 or finer) wet or dry silicon carbide abrasive paper. Remove all dust.
• Subsequent coatings should be applied as soon as possible after Cetol BL Primer has dried, but no sooner than 15 hours, in order to provide full protection and isolation of extractives.
• On new wood were possible the first coat should be applied all round prior to fixing.
• Pay special attention to areas of exposed grain e.g tops and bottoms of doors.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.
