How to prepare walls before painting
1. Inspect and repair
Identify loose material, cracks, contamination, moisture entry and uneven areas. Resolve the cause of dampness and let new or repaired surfaces dry adequately before coating.
2. Fill and smooth where needed
Wall Filling is intended for minor surface irregularities. Wall Putty and Express Wall Putty help create a smoother base before the compatible primer and topcoat.

Wall Sealer is intended for porous wall surfaces. Whether the wall is inside or exposed—and its condition—determines the suitable sealer, primer and finish.
