Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer

Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer is designed for use on both interior and exterior wooden surfaces, offering a solid foundation for topcoat application. Its deep-penetrating formulation ensures optimal adhesion and durability for the top layers of paint or varnish. Available in white and pale colours, it provides a uniform base that enhances the finish of subsequent coats. Its semi-matt finish creates an even surface, reducing the risk of imperfections when applying the final layers.

Applications

The primer is highly effective on untreated wood surfaces, making it ideal for doors, windows, skirting boards, and other wooden structures. It helps to seal and protect the wood, improving the performance of topcoats. This product is compatible with a range of topcoats, ensuring flexibility when choosing your finishing layers.

Application Instructions

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.
• New wood should be sanded to provide a suitable key for the primer.
• Apply using a brush or roller, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
• Allow at least 16 hours of drying time before overcoating with the topcoat of your choice.

Adequate ventilation is essential during application to prevent the buildup of fumes. For best results, apply in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C, avoiding high humidity and wet conditions.

Limitations

Do not use this primer on non-wooden surfaces, as it is formulated specifically for timber applications. It should not be applied to damp wood, as this will hinder its ability to bond effectively. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Recommended Products

For the best finish, use a compatible topcoat, such as Coo-Var's range of wood paints or varnishes. These products have been formulated to work seamlessly with this primer, ensuring long-lasting protection and an attractive finish.
