Good preparation for sealing my dining room table.
Really pleased with this product. Goes on really easily, dries quickly and doesn't smell too badly. I have some left for refurbishing my next oak floor. I've never done any floor restoration before but I used all Manns products and am really pleased with the result of the two rooms in my home that I have completed.
Made the application of top coat really easy
I did 3 coats in the end only because I had a lil left over. So far so good !!
Using this in conjunction with the varnish yields excellent results.
It sealed the stain and provided a good base for gloss. Used much less than coverage info said I would need. Used about 3/4 litre for 12m sq floor (2 coats as I used stain first)
In the room where we wanted the most natural, raw look, this was a disaster. It completely yellowed the pine and bought out all the bits we wanted to hide. We ended up taking it all up and leaving the primer out. Over a day of hard work to undo it. Make sure you test it out before applying (unlike us)! In the room where we wanted a darker, warmer finish, this worked a treat. We used it with the Manns Antique Pine Stain (diluted) and the Extra Tough Varnish. In this case the stain was too cool and the yellowing primer was a huge help. Really depends what you're after.
Appears to help with varnish application. Easy to use, odour free dries quickly.
Really easily applied, and helped bring out the colour of our pine floorboards very nicely. Finished with two topcoats of satin varnish.
Goes a long way, great base for top coats Highly recommended
This primer goes on very well with a decent brush, brings out the wood grain and is said to improve adhesion. It has a fairly strong vapour in use but being water based, this soon dispersed.
A little goes a long way. Only needed sample pot for mahogany skirting boards in the kitchen before using Manns Extra Tough Varnish. The end result is now very smooth after spending hours with an well-known varnish which wouldn't take. Wish I'd found this before.
I bought this varnish with the Manns Extra Tough Satin and the Paint Panther varnish stripper to remove some coloured varnish from a pine bare-floorboard floor and retreat. All three products were excellent, this was the first time I had varnished anything since D&T at school and the floor continues to look great a year later. I chose WFD because I found a video on YouTube of theirs which not only helped with product selection but gave me the confidence to give this job a crack myself and save a lot of money without impacting quality of finish. All products were delivered quickly and with care and prices were very reasonable.
Easy to apply - Paint brush for the edges & roller for the main floor. Make sure you give it plenty of time to dry and denib (Sand with 400+ grit) before applying top coat of varnish.
I've used Manns many times now and it's the best floor sealer and laquer that you can buy. Throughly recommend for heavy duty areas.
If applied sparingly to avoid runs,this product gives a sooth base on which to apply a top coat
Really good product. Easy to apply. Would recommend
We've used products like Ronseal on our stripped back pine floor boards, but our dog has ruined them quickly! was after something much harder wearing, this stuff seems to be doing the trick!
It's the first time I've used a primer over a water based stain, goes on easy and the varnish adhered a treat.
Easy to apply and used with a top coat it looks great and looks very hard wearing
Did wooden floorboards with this. Quick and easy to use.
A good primer for our well prepared solid oak staircase.
Goes down smoothly provided a good base for varnish.
I used this primer for a parquet floor. I wouldn't recommend using a roller unless you are 100% sure you can guarantee an even finish on each application. I used a paintbrush (after sanding off the disaster created by me and my roller!). The product is great and really tough wearing. It dries a little shiny, but if you're using a Matt varnish on top, this will disappear. It is a great product with a beautiful finish.
On a clean and well prepared floor seals the floor very well
Applied to an engineered wood floor with a high footfall - great coverage, easy to apply and dried quickly. Great finish.
Before a coat of varnish and seems to make the varnish application a bit easier.
This is a great product and is a must for sanded and reclaimed timbers. Very low build which enhances the grain.
Incredibly easy to apply, very forgiving. And it instantly gives an idea of what the finished surface will look like.
This product has so many uses apart from a primer I have used it as a glaze on paint work and a stain blocker Fabulous product
Cheaper than the Manns varnish, great for a first coat - followed up with two coats of varnish.
Easy to use and (relatively) quick drying. It requires 12 hours which is worth considering, especially if you are doing floors. It might just be easier to use a coat of varnish.
Excellent product but more importantly an excellent service.Sent to our business in France within 3 days, VAT sorted at source,superb client service,superb advice,will return again and again.This is how a product based company should be.10/10
