Using Dunn-Edwards DURA+™ Interior Wood Primer
What is Wood Primer?
Wood primer acts as a preparatory coat applied to wood surfaces before painting. Dunn-Edwards DURA+™ Interior Wood Primer is specifically formulated to enhance the finish and durability of new cabinets, trim, doors, and other wood surfaces. It provides essential benefits such as hiding knots and imperfections, sealing stains, and improving adhesion for subsequent coats of paint.
How to Use Dunn-Edwards DURA+™ Interior Wood Primer
Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Sand any rough areas or imperfections to create a smooth base for the primer.
Application: Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Apply a uniform coat of Dunn-Edwards DURA+™ Interior Wood Primer using a high-quality brush, roller, or sprayer. Work in sections, ensuring even coverage without over-applying.
Drying Time: Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, it dries to touch within 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on temperature and humidity.
Sanding (Optional): If necessary, lightly sand the primed surface once it is fully dry to achieve a smoother finish.
Topcoat Application: Once the primer is dry and sanded (if applicable), proceed with applying your chosen Dunn-Edwards paint for wood surfaces. The primer's excellent adhesion will ensure a durable and professional-looking finish.
