Johnstone's - Speciality Any Surface Primer - White - Water Colour - Quick Drying - Ideal for Tricky Surfaces - Suitable for a Wide Variety of Surfaces - 10m2 Coverage per Litre - 750ml

brilliant job first class

Covered our stone fireplace perfectly, but strong odour so wear a mask and ventilate room!

I've used this primer before and i really liked it's coverage plus it worked really well on covering dark pine. I bought it on offer which was great and the 750 ml size seems small but it goes along way. It's my second favourite primer after Zinnser 123 which is very expensive but very good. It doesn't have a strong smell at all and it's a little tacky but water based so it's easy to clean off brushes and rollers. One or two coats maybe needed depending on the surrface your covering. It dries to a matt white finish.

Used this as a first layer on tiles (after using another brand in a different room without a primer since it claimed it was one coat and didn’t need primer!) It went on great. Much thicker than the other brand I used and the tile paint went in great after this. Only needed this and 1 coat of tile paint (rather than 4 coats with a previous brand!!)

but this OK AS A 2 COAT PRIMER

says it works on every surface however it does not work on Ikea furniture. on a second attempt I lightly sanded the surface and still no better. have now had to sand back completely hopefully it holds this time

Excellent

dries quick, great product
