It is good practice to prime all new wood surfaces with Water Based Primer. Knots should be spot primed as well before main coat of Water Based Primer is applied. Water Based Primer is essential for use on all MDF and woods rich in active substances prior to application of water based eggshell or water based gloss paint.
Bleeding knots on bare wood should be pre treated with our Water Based Primer, apply 2 coats to prevent bleeding.
11-13m2 per litre on smooth surfaces at 70-90 µm wft. On rough or absorbent surfaces more primer may be required. Ready for use but may be diluted with max 5% water.

As a Grade II listed timber-frame farmhouse dating back to the late 16th Century materials are important so no harm is done to the fabric or feel of the house. In our recent renovation we therefore have used all natural materials, from timber and lathe through sheep’s wool insulation to lime plaster. Your paints were …
The Patent Yellow has worked brilliantly in the nursery and bathroom toning in so perfectly with the Turnell and Gigonwallpaper

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.
Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.
If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!
