Overview

Suitable for all types of hardwoods and softwoods, Dulux Trade Aluminium Wood Primer is solvent-based and contains aluminium pigment. This primer is suitable for interior and exterior use, including on surfaces that are highly resinous. You can use it as a sealer to stop bleed through newly applied paint and on aged bitumen or creosote coated surfaces. This primer is effective as a first coat when used with Dulux Trade Aluminium Paint on timber, where a two coat aluminium coating is necessary.
