Product Information

Full details

The Blackfriar Undercoat in White is designed for professional painters and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-build, obliterating base layer for interior or exterior projects. It is an ideal solution for those looking to ensure excellent topcoat adhesion and a smooth finish on wood, metal, or plaster surfaces. The primary caveat to note is that while it provides robust protection and coverage, it requires proper surface preparation to ensure the durability and smooth finish the product is intended to deliver.

FAQs

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, Blackfriar Undercoat is suitable for metal, wood, and plaster.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is designed for both interior and exterior applications.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Use white spirit or a dedicated brush cleaner immediately after application.

What is the primary benefit of a 'high build' undercoat?

The high build formulation helps to fill in surface imperfections and provides better coverage for darker colors.

Should I sand the surface before applying the undercoat?

Yes, lightly sanding the surface helps improve mechanical adhesion for the undercoat.

How many coats are typically required?

While one coat often provides significant coverage, a second coat may be used for total obliteration of extremely dark or uneven surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and debris before application.

Rough or uneven finish

Lightly sand the undercoat after it has fully cured to create a smooth surface before applying the final topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High opacity for excellent coverage
  • Suitable for a wide variety of materials
  • Provides a high-build finish to mask defects
  • Versatile for both indoor and outdoor projects

Cons

  • Available in a 250ml size, which is limited for large-scale projects
  • Requires proper surface cleaning prior to application
  • Standard drying times apply, necessitating planning for multi-coat projects

Setup, Compatibility, and Care

Before starting, ensure the target surface is free of grease, wax, and loose paint by sanding or cleaning with a suitable solvent. For bare surfaces, prime first if necessary. Application should be performed in temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius. Once the undercoat is applied, ensure it is fully dry before sanding or applying your chosen topcoat. Tools used for application should be cleaned immediately using white spirit or a professional brush cleaner to prevent the product from hardening in the bristles.
