Overview
A highly flexible primer and undercoat which is ideal for use on outdoor wood including doors and windows. It gives a smooth finish that flexes with the natural movement of the wood so it will not crack, peel or flake. Its excellent opacity means it can cover bold colours and dark marks for a uniform finish. When used with Ronseal's 10 Year Weatherproof Paint, it’ll last an entire decade. Available in grey for darker and bolder topcoats and white for paler topcoats.
