Leyland Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat - White 2.5L

Product Information

Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. Make sure you maintain your tools by performing regular maintenance tasks like grinding or sharpening. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions while you’re doing this. Many bargain footwear suppliers offer work boots for a fantastic price. But these are often not steel toe capped, do not have anti-fatigue soles and won’t protect your feet against liquids or extreme heat. In fact, some boots that look the part may as well be a pair of sandals if a hammer or power tool was to drop on your foot.

Having tools with excellent durability is extremely important. Not only will it mean you will not have to spend out on replacement tools when they break prematurely, but because tougher tools will do a better job. Sometimes cheaper ones can appear to work great until wear and damage suddenly make them unusable, and you are left unable to complete your task. This will lead to an extended work period as you will have to go out and buy a replacement. If you use that tool as part of your profession, it could mean the difference between hitting your deadline or not. No matter what kind of job you have or how you’re using the equipment, make sure your tools can stand up to the task in the first place. Pro tip: Preparation is the key to a long-lasting exterior paint job. If it’s not done correctly, the surface will peel again within a year or two. Intended for use with emulsion paints, water-based undercoats are vital in many cases for a smooth finish. Most of the options within the UK will also function as a primer, effectively offering protection for the underlying material and an adhesive surface for painting in a single coat. Acrylic Primer UndercoatContains 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one and reaction mass of: 5-chloro-2-methyl4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC no. 247-500-7] and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one [EC no. 220-239-6] (3:1). Alternatively, if your drywall is relatively smooth and the topcoat is going to be a flat paint, you can skip the primer and use two coats of high-quality self-priming water-based flat paint (see “Self-Priming Paints,” below). The heavy-bodied paint resins in self-priming paints seal the surface and fill imperfections (which are less visible in flat paint anyway). Cheaper brands, such as those you would find in high street bargain stores, will have been mass-produced with lower grade materials which allow the low price tag. Though that may sound good for your bank account, you will soon discover you have a tape measure that slices your fingers, screwdrivers that don’t fit in the cross slot of a screw and a hammer grip that is slipping from the handle. Oil-based undercoat paints are for use with oil-based finishing paints. While these paints were traditionally the choice of professionals, advances in water-based options mean that today many will use both, or have moved to water-based entirely. It’s worth keeping in mind that oil-based undercoat paints will release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while drying, which can be dangerous. Ensuring adequate ventilation is crucial, with many opting to use water-based paints internally. Water-Based Undercoat The surfaces need to be washed down to remove as much surface contamination as possible. Apply the Alkali Resisting Wall Primer to any stained areas, then use Acrylic Eggshell as the finish.

However, if you don’t want to paint your MDF there are a few alternatives to primer/sealer. Effectively, they do the same job - seal the MDF - but in different ways. If you like the natural look of MDF and want to add some protection you can use a clear varnish - choose matt or gloss - to keep your MDF looking like new. An oil-based varnish is the best choice for this. You apply in much the same way as primer/sealer/paint, with a brush or roller. Leyland Trade Smart Matt emulsion is specially formulated to avoid brush and roller marks when painting interior walls and ceilings. This feature also applies to touching up damaged areas, avoiding the need to repaint the whole area again, ensuring a professional flat matt finish is achieved with every application. When shopping in the UK, most undercoat options you find will also work as primers, allowing you to fully prepare a surface with one coat. Quality Building Supplies Delivered to You Pro tip: Use a primer and paint from the same manufacturer. Many primers are formulated to work best with certain paints.Pro tip: Thanks to new water-based primer paint formulations, you can paint an acrylic/latex topcoat over either an oil-based primer or water-based primer. Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences. Acrylic Primer Undercoat can be used both as a primer and full undercoat. Any of the Leyland finishes can be applied over the product, even solvent based gloss. Pro tip: Make sure to kill any mildew with a one-part bleach and three-parts water mixture before priming.

The mud used on the seams of drywall absorbs paint differently than the rest of the drywall. This difference in porosity can cause blotchy, dull areas under the paint (a problem called “flashing”) and an inconsistent sheen. Prevent this problem by using a drywall primer-sealer. My stair rail and banisters together with the window seals are currently coated in an old gloss oil paint. I'm wanting to cover these with an acrylic eggshell and would like some guidance on what primer / undercoat to use prior to the top coat.

There is a long list of brands that excel in specific tools, but don’t do so well with others. One company that is fantastic across the board is Screwfix. Made from bonding together wood fibres with resin and wax, MDF is moisture resistant, but it's not water resistant. If too much water gets into the fibres of the board it will cause it to swell and effectively become useless and end up being thrown away. So it needs to be sealed before you start painting. Before you prime, pressure-wash the siding to remove loose paint and built-up grime and improve paint adhesion.
