“If I were able to give 10 stars I’d do it. I ordered from Limerick on Sunday evening and my order arrived on Tuesday morning. The package was attentively wrapped and protected. I highly recommend them.”
Description
For use on bare wood, the Farrow & Ball Interior Wood Primer & Undercoat for dark tones helps create a smooth base on which to build up a rich top coat of Flat Eggshell, Full Gloss, Modern Eggshell or Dead Flat.
Features and benefits:
- Primer and undercoat in one.
- Enhances top coat colour.
- Excellent adhesion.
- Easy to clean-up - wash brushes in warm soapy water.
All Farrow & Ball paints are eco friendly with low or minimal VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content and are water based giving them a low odour and quick drying time which benefits both you and the environment.
New and Unpainted Interior Wood (Not Floors) Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination. Fill any cracks, holes and open joints with an appropriate filler. To improve the paint’s adhesion, lightly sand the surface. Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats. Apply two coats of your chosen Farrow & Ball finish, allowing the correct drying time between coats.
Previously Painted Interior Wood (Not Floors) Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination. Remove any areas of old paint which are peeling or blistering as flaking or peeling can occur if you paint over weak paint layers. Blend and ‘feather’ the edges of areas of old paint, as this helps to smooth out the surface. Fill any cracks, holes and open joints with an appropriate filler. Lightly sand the surface to improve paint adhesion. Apply one coat of Farrow & Ball Interior Wood Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat (and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats). Then apply two coats of your chosen Farrow & Ball finish, allowing the correct drying time between coats.
