Preparation

Ensure that the surface to be undercoated and painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease, and remove all loose and defective paint.

• If the surface you are applying the Leyland Trade Undercoat to is new or bare timber, it will first need a primer, which will soak in and provide a bond.
• Rub down sound previously painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key.
• Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

Application

Always perform a test on a small inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility, and we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

• Stir well before use. Apply the undercoat with a brush or roller.
• For best results, the brush should be fully loaded. Do not thin.
• Apply one or more coats as required and wait 16-24 hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
• Do not apply over polystyrene surfaces.
