Product Information
Full details
The Fiddes Full Stop H2O is a water-based, anti-mould universal white acrylic primer-sealer designed for DIYers and professionals seeking to permanently block stains and odors in a single coat. Its key benefit is its powerful stain and odor locking capability, ensuring a clean surface for topcoats. A potential caveat is its specialized use as a primer, requiring a topcoat for finished appearance.

FAQs
Can I use Fiddes Full Stop H2O outdoors?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use only.
How long does it take to dry?
It is quick drying, typically ready for a topcoat in 30-60 minutes, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity.
What kind of surfaces can I apply this primer to?
It adheres to a wide range of interior surfaces including wood, metal, glass, tile, plaster, and drywall.
Do I need to sand the surface before priming?
It's recommended to clean surfaces and lightly abrade glossy finishes to ensure optimal adhesion.
Can I paint over this primer with any type of paint?
Yes, it accepts all oil-based, water-based, and acrylic topcoats.
Does this primer have a strong smell?
As a water-based product, it has low odour compared to solvent-based primers. It also seals in existing odours.
How do I clean my tools after use?
Clean all brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm water and mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Primer not blocking stains effectively
Ensure the stain is fully covered with a thick enough coat of primer. Allow adequate drying time before applying a topcoat. For severe stains, a second coat of primer might be necessary.
Poor adhesion of topcoat
Verify that the primer was fully dry before topcoat application. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. Lightly sand the primed surface if it feels overly smooth before applying the topcoat.
Primer is difficult to spread
Ensure the primer is thoroughly stirred. If it seems too thick, a very small amount of clean water can be added, but avoid over-thinning which can compromise performance.
Odour not completely sealed
For persistent or strong odours, a second coat of Fiddes Full Stop H2O is recommended. Ensure the primer is applied evenly and covers all affected areas.
