This primer is suitable for application over an existing finish, raw wood, or MDF, making it an excellent base coat for GF Milk Paints, Chalk Style Paints, and Pigmented Polys.

One of the key features of this primer is its water-based formulation, which offers several benefits. Firstly, it is environmentally friendly, as it contains fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to solvent-based primers. This makes it a more sustainable choice for both professional and DIY projects. Additionally, the water-based formula is easier to clean up, with brushes and equipment easily rinsed with clean water.

When using this primer, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. The product should not be mixed with any paint, stain, or topcoat, as contamination from other finishes can cause product failure. It is crucial to ensure that all brushes and equipment are thoroughly cleaned with water after use, as the primer should not be mixed with General Finishes Brush & Gun Cleaner.

The white color of the primer provides a neutral base, allowing for a wide range of top coats to be applied. This versatility makes it a suitable choice for a variety of projects, from furniture refinishing to cabinet painting. The primer's ability to protect against stain, dye, and wood tannin bleed-through ensures a consistent and uniform finish, even when working with challenging substrates.

One of the benefits of using this primer is the ease of application. It can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed, making it accessible to both professional and DIY users. The water-based formula also dries relatively quickly, allowing for efficient project completion.

It is important to note that proper surface preparation is crucial when using this primer. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from any contaminants to ensure optimal adhesion and performance of the primer and subsequent topcoats.

Overall, the General Finishes NEW water-based white primer is a versatile and reliable product that can help protect and enhance a wide range of finishes. Its environmental-friendly formulation, ease of use, and ability to prevent common issues make it a valuable addition to any woodworking or painting toolkit.
