Product Information

It is an all in one coating but will take a 2 coats to cover and may be painted over with both solvent and water-based top coats. The primer is specifically designed to give a bonding surface and undercoat to ready for top coats. 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.

Before painting any surface, it should be free from dirt, grease, rust, dust and loose flakes of old paint. Some require primers and/or undercoats to provide a base suitable for painting ... Unpainted metal Use a metal or all-purpose primer followed by gloss, eggshell or emulsion paint. Use an oil-based undercoat under oil-based paints.

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.

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

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). However, if you don’t want to paint your MDF there are a few alternatives to primer/sealer. Effectively, they do the same job - seal the MDF - but in different ways. If you like the natural look of MDF and want to add some protection you can use a clear varnish - choose matt or gloss - to keep your MDF looking like new. An oil-based varnish is the best choice for this. You apply in much the same way as primer/sealer/paint, with a brush or roller. 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: 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.
