Product Information

Full details

This Leyland Contract Primer Undercoat in Brilliant White (2.5L) is designed for professional decorators and DIYers tackling new work. Its key benefit is providing an excellent basecoat for bare timber, ensuring a smooth finish for subsequent topcoats. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily as a primer and undercoat, not a final decorative finish.

FAQs

Can I use this primer on plaster walls?

This primer is specifically designed for bare timber. While it may adhere to other surfaces, it's recommended to use a primer formulated for plaster for optimal results on walls.

How many coats of topcoat will I need over this primer?

The number of topcoats required depends on the colour and type of paint used. Generally, two topcoats are recommended for even coverage over a white primer.

Is this primer suitable for exterior use?

This product is intended for interior use, particularly on new work and bare timber. For exterior applications, a primer specifically designed for outdoor conditions should be used.

What is the weight of the 2.5L can?

The 2.5L can weighs approximately 6.61 pounds (3 kg).

Can I paint over this primer with oil-based paint?

Yes, this primer is suitable for overcoating with most types of decorative topcoats, including oil-based paints, once fully dry.

How should I store the primer if I don't use all of it?

Store the primer in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from frost and direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent drying out.

Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Sanding bare timber before priming can improve adhesion.

Surface still showing imperfections after priming

Apply a second coat of primer. If significant imperfections remain, consider using a filler or sanding the surface smooth before re-priming.

Uneven finish

Ensure the primer was stirred thoroughly and applied evenly with a brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Primer is too thick to apply

Check if the product has been stored correctly. If excessively thick, it may need thinning slightly with water, but consult the product's technical data sheet for specific thinning recommendations, if any.
