The product, in perspective.
Crown Aluminium Wood Primer is an alkyd preparation coating for bare timber beneath an opaque alkyd finish. Include the timber type, exposure and intended finishing paint when requesting it.
A timber primer beneath a specified undercoat and finishing system. A wood primer is not a clear wood varnish. Tell us whether you want an opaque painted finish or to retain the visible grain.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Crown Aluminium Wood Primer is properly prepared bare timber and suitable engineered wood. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.
- A timber primer beneath a specified undercoat and finishing system.
- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
Prepare clean, dry timber, fill defects with a suitable wood filler and sand along the grain. Deal with loose old coatings before priming the exposed or repaired areas.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Companion products to specify
The technical sheet references these materials for its preparation, thinning or coating scenarios. Confirm the scenario for your substrate.
Application and project planning.
Follow the Aluminium Wood Primer coat, Universal Undercoat and compatible finishing coat sequence identified in the sheet.
A wood primer is not a clear wood varnish. Tell us whether you want an opaque painted finish or to retain the visible grain.
Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
Will it leave a clear timber finish?
No. It is part of a painted wood system. For visible grain, ask about a clear finish suitable for the timber and service conditions.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
