FAQs

Which is the best primer I can buy in the UK?

For an all-round renovation toolkit, choose a water-based acrylic primer sealer—like our Coo-Var Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat—which adheres to plaster, wood and previously painted walls while remaining low odour and quick drying.

Will your primer stick to glossy kitchen tiles without heavy sanding?

Yes. The SPO Tile & Melamine Primer bonds directly to ceramic, porcelain and melamine after a simple clean and light abrade, creating a matt surface ready for almost any top-coat.

How soon can I re-coat after using the acrylic primer?

In normal UK indoor conditions (≈20 °C), you can apply your finish coat after just six hours, keeping projects on schedule.

Is the tile primer low VOC and safe for bathrooms?

The primer’s VOC content is below 30 g / L and it’s water-based, making it suitable for enclosed spaces such as bathrooms and utility rooms

Can I use the acrylic primer on bare MDF shelving?

Absolutely—it’s designed to penetrate and seal porous MDF fibres, preventing edge swelling and giving a smooth base for water- or oil-based paints.

What temperature is too cold for priming?

Both primers should be applied when ambient and surface temperatures are above 7 °C; below this, drying and adhesion may be compromised.
