System information

To get the best results make sure the surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry. (New surfaces particularly must be fully dry.)

When blocking stains caused by water or damp, make sure the original cause of the problem has been rectified. When Dulux Trade Problem Solving Basecoat is applied initially it will draw the stain into itself and then seal it, this is not a defect. After suitable surface preparation, apply 1 coat of Dulux Trade Problem Solving Basecoat to all bare or stained surfaces and allow to dry. For difficult stains use Dulux Trade Stain Block Plus.

When applying over dark or deep colours the finishing system is one coat of Dulux Trade Problem Solving Basecoat followed by two coats of the appropriate Dulux Trade paint system. Dulux Trade Problem Solving Basecoat locks the surface colour under the paint film, enabling obliteration of the substrate colour in three coats.

After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning with clean water.
