Overview

A professional quality, flexible primer undercoat for exterior wood with 10 years of proven durability, creating the ideal basecoat for eggshell and gloss finishes. The solvent-based formulation offers superior adhesion to wooden surfaces and allows it to flex with the natural movement of the wood helping to prevent and alleviate flaking and cracking. Sandtex® Trade Flexible Primer Undercoat provides excellent opacity on exterior wood and joinery, including wooden doors and window frames, wooden gates, fences, and exterior timber.

• Fexible formulation - resist cracking and peeling
• Excellent opacity
• Professional quality
• 10 year proven durability

Preparation

Always ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from anything that may affect adhesion.

• Greyed or weathered wood will need to be sanded back to a clean and smooth surface.
• Previously painted surfaces need to be cleaned and sanded to offer a key.

Application

We always recommend performing a test patch to the surface to be decorated to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Stir well and apply using a brush or roller.
• Apply evenly and liberally without overspreading.
• If more than one coat is required allow to dry for 16 hours between applications.

Do not apply when temperatures are likely to fall below 8°C or when relative humidity is above 80% during the application or drying period.
