Crown Trade Aluminium Wood Primer - Grey - 2.5L

This primer is specifically designed for wood. For MDF or particle board, it's recommended to use a primer formulated for composite materials to ensure proper adhesion and performance.

The spreading rate is up to 13m² per litre, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

The primer is touch dry within 2-4 hours under normal conditions. However, recoating requires a longer drying time of 16 hours.

Yes, it is suitable for exterior wood applications, provided the surface is correctly prepared and the primer is used as part of a system with appropriate exterior topcoats.

No, this primer is formulated exclusively for wood surfaces and should not be used on metal.

Sanding is not typically required after applying this primer unless there are imperfections. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper may be done after the primer is fully dry if a smoother surface is desired before topcoating.

This specific product is listed as 'Grey'.

Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants like oil or wax. Sanding the surface before application can also improve adhesion.

This indicates insufficient primer coverage or inadequate drying time. Ensure a thorough coat of primer was applied, especially over stained areas, and allow the full 16 hours recoating time before applying the topcoat.

Stir the product thoroughly. If necessary and recommended for the specific application, a very small amount of water may be added (check product technical data sheet), but avoid over-thinning which can compromise performance.

Ensure the knots were adequately covered by the self-knotting primer. If resin is particularly stubborn, a second coat of primer on the knot area might be necessary, allowing full drying time before proceeding.
