Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How many coats of undercoat are needed?
A: One generous coat is usually sufficient on most substrates; apply a second coat on highly absorbent surfaces if required.
Q2. Can I apply gloss over this undercoat the next day?
A: Yes—ensure at least 16 hours’ drying time before applying your chosen gloss finish.
Q3. Is this undercoat suitable for exterior use?
A: It is formulated for interior applications. For exterior metal or wood, use a specialist primer undercoat designed for outdoor exposure.
Q4. Will it stain through topcoats?
A: The high‑opacity white tint effectively seals tannin‑rich woods and minor stains; wood knots should still be treated with knotting solution before undercoating.
