Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can I use this primer under any topcoat?
A: Yes—suitable under most emulsion, acrylic, and alkyd-based decorative finishes. Always check the topcoat manufacturer’s recommendations.

Q2. Is it safe to use in poorly ventilated areas?
A: The low‑odour, water‑borne formulation is more user-friendly than solvent‑borne primers but ensure basic ventilation during application.

A: It is ready‑to‑use for brushing and rolling. For airless spray, thin with up to 5 % clean water if necessary to achieve desired atomization.

Q4. Will it yellow over time?
A: The acrylic base resists yellowing compared to oil‑based primers, maintaining a neutral undercoat for light‑coloured topcoats.
