Description Fleetwood Melamine Primer is a high-performance adhesion primer specifically formulated for difficult, low-porosity interior surfaces such as melamine and kitchen cabinetry. Designed to promote strong paint adhesion where conventional primers often fail, it provides a durable and reliable base for subsequent topcoats, ensuring a long-lasting, professional finish. This specialist primer is ideal for refurbishment projects where existing surfaces are smooth, factory-finished, or previously coated. It creates a firm bonding layer that allows decorative finishes to level evenly while reducing the risk of peeling or flaking over time. Key Features & Benefits Excellent adhesion to melamine, laminates, and other difficult interior surfaces Water-based formulation for low odour and easy clean-up White satin finish provides an even, opaque base for topcoats Quick drying to allow efficient project turnaround Designed for interior use, particularly kitchens and fitted furniture Suitable Surfaces Melamine-faced boards Kitchen cabinets and doors Lacquered or factory-finished MDF Smooth, previously painted interior furniture Surface Preparation Correct preparation is essential to achieve optimal performance: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or contaminants. Lightly abrade to remove surface gloss and provide a key. Remove all dust before application. Application Stir thoroughly before use. Apply one even coat using a quality synthetic brush or short-pile/foam roller. Avoid over-application to maintain a smooth finish. On heavily used areas or particularly smooth surfaces, a second coat may be applied if required. Drying & Overcoating Touch dry within a short period under normal conditions. Typically ready for overcoating after approximately 4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Suitable for overcoating with durable interior paints and cabinet finishes. Clean-Up & Maintenance Tools can be cleaned with warm water immediately after use. Allow the full paint system to cure before heavy handling or cleaning to ensure maximum durability. Typical Applications Kitchen cabinet refurbishments Interior furniture repainting Melamine shelving and storage units Renovation projects involving smooth or sealed surfaces
