Dulux Trade Wood Primer - White

Dulux Trade Wood Primer is an excellent primer for general use, suitable for all types interior or exterior hardwoods or softwoods. Applying a primer before painting wood helps to ensure a smoother finish. It seals the surface, which helps to provide superb adhesion and, under normal conditions, will provide good coverage of up to 15m2 per litre. If the surface you're priming is highly resinous, use Dulux Trade Aluminium Primer.

• For interior or exterior use
• Excellent sealing and adhesion properties
• For use on hardwoods or softwoods

For best results, ensure that the wood to be primed is sound, clean and dry. It's particularly important that new surfaces are completely dry before painting. Dirt, grease and wax must be removed.

• Rub down previously painted surfaces thoroughly, preferably using 'wet flatting' methods, and wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Pre-1960s painted wood and metal need special precautions as they may contain harmful lead.
• Treat any knots in wood with a knotting solution and fill any surface defects.

Always follow the manufacturers instructions found on the tin, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility. Apply in temperatures above 5°C.

• Stir thoroughly before use.
• Thinning is not necessary for general use, however if you're priming hardwood, apply up to 1 part white spirit to 10 parts paint.
• Use a brush only, do not spray.
• Apply one coat of Dulux Trade Wood Primer to all bare wood.
• Work in the direction of the grain and make sure you cover the entire area with no gaps, a llow to dry.

Q. Does Dulux Trade Wood Primer block stains?

A. Certain types of wood, such as pine or oak, contain natural substances called tannins that can bleed through paint and cause discolouration. Wood primer contains additives that block these stains and tannins, preventing them from affecting the final paint finish.

Q. Why use a primer?

A. Wood primer fills in small imperfections, such as cracks, knots, or grain irregularities, creating a smoother surface for the topcoat. This results in a more even and professional-looking finish. Using a wood primer before applying the topcoat can help reduce the number of coats required to achieve the desired finish. It enhances the coverage of the paint or varnish, saving time and reducing the overall cost of the project.
