Preparation
Preparation
Back
To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry) and free from all defective or poorly adhering material such as dirt, grease or wax.
- Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using "wet flatting" methods where possible, then wipe off with a dampened lint-free cloth to remove all traces of sanding dust
- Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
- Remove all loose and defective coatings, if necessary stripping back to bare wood
- Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
- Remove defective glazing material, clean the rebates and any loose or open joints
- Replace any rotten wood and troublesome knots with new timber
- Apply 1 or 2 coats of an appropriate knotting solution to treat any remaining knots in wood
- Any surface defects should be filled with a suitable wood filler
- Prime all bare wood with 2 coats of Dulux Trade Weathershield Preservative Primer or just 1 coat for previously painted wood

Great Stuff
Good product, great service and very fast.

Solid
Having used this product before, I knew what to expect (and hoped it hadn’t changed over the years). We were not disappointed: still an amazing 3-part solution with the hardwearing undercoat making a bomb/proof layer for the gloss.

Easy to apply, covers well and dries quickly
When painting outside a quick drying product is essential. This product is easy to apply and covers well and dries quickly leaving a solid base for the top coat.
