Dulux Trade All Purpose Primer

Dulux Trade All Purpose Primer is suitable for most types of interior and exterior wood, metal and masonry.

• For resinous woods, interior and exterior, use Dulux Trade Aluminium Wood Primer
• Looking for an alternative primer? Take a look at our range of Dulux Trade Primers

Please Note: Specialist primers may be needed for highly resinous woods, new plaster and galvanised steel.

For the best results, ensure surfaces to be primed are clean, dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry) and free of dirt, grease or wax before treating.

• Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using wet flatting methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth or vacuum 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
• Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
• Treat any knots in wood with an appropriate knotting solution
• For iron and steel surfaces, ensure all loose scale and rust is removed by thorough scraping and wire brushing
• Leave new bright galvanised metal to weather and become dull before priming

Always do a test area before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C. For Health & Safety reasons relating to all solvent-based paints, spray application is not recommended.
