Performance:
1. Excellent adhesion to substrates including old paint.
2. Available in colours suitable for use under Resene Total Colour System colours to facilitate perfect hiding and finish.
3. Excellent flow and sanding properties.
4. Outstanding durability maintaining flexibility for the life of the system.
5. Designed with a low sheen that allows exceptional enamel hold-out.

Limitations:
1. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.
2. Not designed as a first coat over metal surfaces or weak powdery surfaces. Exposed bare or cracked timber usually accumulates windblown salt. Before using a totally waterborne system, this salt must be removed by prolonged washing with freshwater.
Alternatively, use a solventborne undercoat. Please ensure the current Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet are consulted prior to specification or application of product. If in doubt contact Resene.
