Stain Blocking Primer Application Guide

Mix well before use. Protek Stain Blocking Primer can be applied by spray, brush or roller. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next, this should take 1 hour. We recommend 2 coats especially if a white or off-white topcoat is being applied. If applying to bare untreated timber we recommend first applying a water-based wood preserver before the primer. This primer will stop the tannin bleed from the knots in the wood but it will not stop the resin coming through. If the timber is resinous a knotting agent should still be applied to the knots.
