Sealers
Sealers are applied to unpainted surfaces to
Stop stains and marks from bleeding through topcoats
For oily or smokey stains leg on ceilings use an acrylic stain sealer
For water stains use an oil-based sealer
Already painted surfaces don't need a sealer unless stained
Stop bare surfaces absorbing too much topcoat
For new plasterboard use an acrylic wallboard sealer
For new timber use an acrylic Primer/Sealer
For fibrous plaster use an oil-based sealer
In moist areas always use an oil-based sealer
