About this deal

These days most people want to get rid of any textured coatings, but believe it or not they are still being sold - not only as a decorative feature (mainly for ceilings) but as a cover-up solution for tatty surfaces. "Coarse" and "ripple" finishes are applied with a roller; others have to be applied using a wide filling knife. Frankly, these are best avoided as they generally look horrible - if surfaces are really bad, it is best to get them skimmed. Our first average we look at for Dulux Difficult Surface Primer is to judge it against other products from the same brand, in this case it’s Dulux. This tells us that there are a total of 712 Dulux products at The Range. It is worth noting that you can still paint over the sealer if you change your mind, but if you are going to paint, you’ll be better off using a coloured sealer/primer. It has a thin consistency which means that you typically only need one coat to seal your MDF, which will be touch dry within 30 minutes. If it needs another coat you’ll have to wait for a couple of hours before you can apply.

Zinsser B-I-N, which let’s be honest you’re going to have in your van anyway. I didn’t test it on oil-based gloss or on melamine, but it did really well on varnish and woodstain. It’s hard to review in a way, as everyone already knows it and there has been so much written about it online, I don’t think there’s anything I can add! Available online here. The primer can be applied by brush, roller or spray. It is available in 0.25L, 0.5L, 1L and 2.5L sizes depending on the size of your tasks. Paint over knots with "knotting", otherwise the sap in them will bleed through subsequent coats of paint. Apply wood primer followed by an undercoat (or an all-in-one). Use an oil-based undercoat with oil-based gloss or eggshell paint. o It takes a long time to dry on some surfaces – it says 4-6 hours, but was less on the woodstain, and significantly more on the melamine Crown PX3 (for those who can’t remember, this is the solvent-based one). This is a bit of an anomaly. It did absolutely everything it said on the tin, adhesion was great and it stopped the woodstain bleeding through. Overall, it was probably marginally the best of the bunch in terms of adhesion. But I don’t like it! Sorry Crown – I love you really, the guys at my local CDC will kill me, but I don’t like this product. Maybe it’s just me, but I found:Products for more severely damaged surfaces are more closely related to plaster than paint, but for those nor wanting to employ a professional plasterer, there are supposedly "easy to use" options available that are generally non-toxic, with a low-VOC content. Not all are popular on the DIY chat boards, though, and they're not cheap, either ...

When the surface was keyed, all the primers performed significantly better; I’d give both Crown products, Whitsons and Zinsser All-Coat 10 out of 10, but the other two (Otex Akva and Bullseye 1-2-3) still weren’t perfect, a small amount of the primer did scratch off in my test Wood Treated with Ronseal Yacht Varnish The key thing to consider here, is how the price of Dulux Difficult Surface Primer compares to others but taking into account the quality and features of Dulux Difficult Surface Primer over the other options. Application : Brush, short pile roller or spray. STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. After suitable preparation, apply one coat of Dulux Trade Super Grip Primer, followed by the appropriate Dulux Trade paint system. However, we then like to go a little deeper to explore more detail about the product by looking at products in the same category as Dulux Difficult Surface Primer. That then tells us that there are 736 products in the DIY category at The Range. Tiles Clean with sugar soap, then wipe over with white spirit to get rid of any dirt and soap scum. Use a specialist glass, tile or difficult-surface primer followed by paint, or Ronseal One-Coat tile paint (which needs no primer).
