Overview
Water based Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Dry Flexible Undercoat offers superior flexibility, which allows for the natural movement of the wood that happens naturally with changes in weather.
This undercoat has been specifically formulated to be used in conjunction with the Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Dry Exterior top coats, in Gloss or Satin, a 2 part system which, when applied correctly, offers supreme durability to exterior wood, primed metal and plastic.

Preparation
To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry) and free from all defective or poorly adhering material such as dirt, grease or wax.
Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
Treat any knots in wood with an appropriate knotting solution. Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate filler. Prime any bare metal with 1 coat of Dulux Trade Metal Primer. When painting areas such as plastic rainwater goods, Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss can be used. Apply 1 coat of Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss thinned to 1 part water to 10 parts paint direct to the surface.
New Joinery - this is often factory primed using a stain basecoat, also known as a dual-purpose primer. These materials quickly erode when left exposed and may need to be re-primed.
Application
Brush only. Do not spray. Do not use on heated surfaces, in temperatures below 10ºC or outside when rain is likely.
New or bare surfaces: Prime all bare wood with 2 coats of Weathershield Preservative Primer+ (BP) followed by 2 coats of Weathershield Quick Dry Exterior Undercoat.
Previously painted surfaces: 1 coat of Weathershield Quick Dry Exterior Undercoat.
Allow to dry for at least 2 hours between coats, then apply the appropriate Weathershield topcoat, Gloss or Satin.
