## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: No odour, quick dry and easy to work with - This is my first foray into water based paints for wood and I'm pretty happy with it. The main benefits for me are, no odour and the brushes are easy to clean. Oil based paints stink. There's no getting away from that, but I still prefer the final smooth finish of a good thick oil paint. But times have changed. These paints are easier on the body from a breathing point of view and not having to use solvents to clean brushes in one of the biggest draws of these new paints. I can also sleep in the room the same night. It dries quite quickly so I can put on a decently thick coat. I've switched to a reasonably soft brush which gives me a better smooth finish. Working in warm weather means the paint dries on the brush quite quickly but the beauty is, I can rinse the brush and start again. If the paint in the tin gets too thick, I can water it down a tiny bit, depending on what I need. This paint was recommended by my professional painter who is doing my hall, stairs and landing. Easy to use, gives a nice thick coat (obviously depending on how thick you paint it) but I've had no runs, which is another hallmark of oil based paints. I have the white which gave me a good colour base for my white top coat on skirting and window sills. It's not cheap but getting a good quality paint is definitely worth it in the long run.
Review: Great paint, tin goes pretty far with thin coats - Brilliant, used with a roller to get a couple of thin coats, dried quick, covered over some black paint enough to repaint a royal blue evenly 👌

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good primer/undercoat
*by P***K on 1 December 2024*

The builders neglected to prime my garden gate, so I purchased this, so I could finish off for them! Applies just fine to bare/untreated wood. Fit for purpose, ready for the top coat. I would normally go for Rustolium, but this was cheaper...and at the end of the day, did the job just fine. Water-based, so clean up was easy.
