Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat - White

With advanced water based technology, Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat in White is the first part of a two part High Gloss system. It has been formulated for use with Dulux Quick Dry Gloss on all interior wood and metal.

• Advanced water based technology
• Perfect with Dulux Quick Dry Gloss
• Apply by brush, roller or spray

Before you begin, make sure that surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry.

• Replace rubber containing plasticisers such as flexible PVC strips, as water-borne coatings can become sensitive to these, with the film partially dissolving and becoming sticky. It is advisable to replace such flexible strips with EPDM rubber ones. It is also advisable to seek the advice of the manufacturers of the strips regarding this.
• Rub down previously painted surfaces thoroughly, 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 knots with an appropriate knotting solution.
• Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate filler.
• When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously coated with a conventional solvent based paint, thorough surface preparation will be necessary.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Apply with brush, roller or spray. To get the best result, use a nylon polyester, good quality synthetic brush designed for use with water-based paints.
• Lightly dampen both the brush and the surface before application to increase flow out.
• Do not apply at temperatures below 8°C.
• It is not usually necessary to thin Quick Dry Undercoat, unless it is being used as a primer on bare wood, in which case thin with 1 part water with up to 20 parts paint.

Q. Why use this undercoat?

A. This undercoat provides a smooth and even base for the final coat of paint. It helps to improve the adhesion of the topcoat, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish. The high-quality formulation of Dulux Trade products ensures that the undercoat performs well, offering excellent coverage and opacity.

Q. Will Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat really dry quickly?

A. As the name suggests, this undercoat dries quickly, allowing for faster completion of painting projects. It typically dries within 2-4 hours, which means you can apply multiple coats or move on to the next stage of your project sooner.
