FAQs

How long should I let the primer dry?

Refer to the product label for the recommended drying time. Typically, it's 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on environmental conditions.

Can I use this primer on all types of walls?

This primer is suitable for most interior walls, including drywall, plaster, and previously painted surfaces. Always ensure the surface is properly prepared.

Do I need to sand the primer?

Light sanding after the primer dries can help create an even smoother surface for painting, but it's not always required.

How much primer will I need?

Coverage depends on the surface. One 2.5L can typically covers approximately 30 square meters. Calculate the area of your walls and consider the number of coats required.

Can I tint this primer?

The Dulux Walls White Wallpaper Primer & Undercoat is pre-tinted white, and is not designed to be tinted.

What should I do if the primer gets on my skin?

Wash the affected area with soap and water.

How should I store leftover primer?

Store the remaining primer in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean and properly prepared. Sand the surface lightly and reapply the primer.

Primer appears uneven

Apply the primer in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much primer at once and allow each coat to dry completely.

Paint or wallpaper not adhering to the primer

Make sure the primer is fully dry before applying paint or wallpaper. Check the compatibility of the paint or wallpaper with the primer.
