Johnstones Trade Brilliant White Aqua Guard Primer Undercoat

Product Description

Prepare your trim for a long-lasting, high-durability finish with Johnstone's Trade Aqua Guard Primer Undercoat. Specially engineered for interior woodwork, softwood, hardwood, and metal surfaces, this premium basecoat offers outstanding hiding power, effortless flow, and exceptional adhesion.  

When applied over bare timber, it seals the wood to prevent resin staining from leaking through into topcoats. Its quick-drying, low-odour formula allows for rapid recoating, helping you complete multi-coat systems efficiently while maintaining long-term film durability and whiteness.
