Bluebird Synthetic Undercoat Usability/Application Guide

Bluebird Synthetic Undercoat is a high-quality, solvent-based undercoat designed for use on both interior and exterior surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion, durability, and a smooth base for topcoats, particularly for wood and metal surfaces. This undercoat ensures the topcoat’s longevity and enhances the overall finish by sealing and preparing surfaces effectively.

3. Priming

For certain surfaces, a primer may still be needed before applying the Synthetic Undercoat:

  • Unfinished Wood or Bare Metal: Apply a primer suitable for the surface type (wood primer for wood, metal primer for metal) before using the Synthetic Undercoat.
  • Benefits: Priming on porous or bare surfaces will enhance the adhesion of the undercoat and prevent any issues with the topcoat’s durability or finish.
  • Drying Time: Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on to the application of Bluebird Synthetic Undercoat.

6. Clean-up and Ventilation

Clean-up and proper ventilation are important for safe application:

  • Clean-up: Since Bluebird Synthetic Undercoat is solvent-based, clean brushes, rollers, and other tools with a suitable paint thinner or mineral spirits immediately after use. Do not allow the product to dry on tools, as it becomes harder to clean once dried.
  • Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the work area to avoid inhaling fumes. Use fans or open windows in enclosed spaces. For exterior applications, avoid applying in high winds to prevent dust and debris from sticking to the wet surface.
  • Disposal: Dispose of leftover paint and solvent-based waste responsibly, following local regulations for hazardous materials.
