Duram Wood Primer Pink is a premium-quality, solvent-based primer specifically engineered to protect and prepare interior and exterior wood. Formulated with specialized oils and resins, it penetrates deep into the wood grain to seal the fibers, preventing the topcoat from soaking in unevenly and ensuring a long-lasting, professional finish.
Key Performance Features
- Deep Penetrating Action: Formulated to soak into the pores of the wood, providing a secure mechanical bond that prevents peeling and flaking of the final paint layers.
- Excellent Sealing Properties: Effectively seals the natural tannins and oils found in wood, preventing them from bleeding through and discoloring light-colored topcoats.
- Flexible Protection: Creates a tough yet flexible film that moves with the natural expansion and contraction of the wood, reducing the risk of cracking.
- Classic Pink Finish: The traditional pink hue provides a clear visual indicator of coverage, ensuring no spots are missed during application.
Ideal Applications
- Softwoods & Hardwoods: Perfect for pine, meranti, and other common construction timbers.
- Exterior Woodwork: Ideal for window frames, doors, fascia boards, and gates.
- Interior Trim: The go-to primer for skirting boards, door frames, and wooden cupboards.
- New or Weathered Wood: Suitable for both brand-new timber and previously painted wood that has been sanded back to the bare grain.
Application Highlights
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, or furniture polish. Sand the surface lightly to open the grain before priming.
- Versatile Topcoating: Once fully cured, it can be overcoated with a wide range of solvent-based enamels or water-based acrylics.
- Easy Application: Best applied by brush to work the primer into the wood fibers, but also suitable for roller or spray.
Pro Tip: For highly resinous woods (like knotty pine), ensure you treat the knots with a specialized Knot Seal before applying the Wood Primer to prevent unsightly yellow spots from appearing later.
