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.)

Mix the Weathershield Aquatech Preservative Basecoat + thoroughly by shaking the container. Pour out a sufficient amount of primer for the job into a suitable metal container.

Do not use direct from the can or return any unused basecoat to the container.

Prime all bare wood with 1 coat of Weathershield Aquatech Preservative Basecoat + including any new or bare replacement beading. Excess basecoat should be wiped off surrounding paintwork before it dries.

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