Our Water-Based Wood Primer is designed to prepare new and bare timber and MDF, creating a stable, even base before applying our Water-Based Eggshell or Gloss paints.
Suitable for all bare timber and MDF, it is particularly important on woods rich in active substances that can cause staining or tannin bleed. Knots should be spot-primed first, followed by two full coats of primer to help prevent discolouration from showing through the finished paint.
Low odour and ready to use, the primer can be diluted with up to 5% clean water if required.
Please note: For fresh plaster, lime plaster, lining paper or extensively filled surfaces, please use our Ultimate 2-in-1 Primer or our Plaster Primer.

Getting the canvas of your room right is a challenge for any interior designer, so I was delighted when I discovered the Edward Bulmer paint range.
