Universal Hi-Build™ Water Base Opaque Undercoater
Universal Hi-Build™ Water Base Opaque White Undercoater is a single component, high solids ‘Universal Sealer’ for use under either Water Base or Solvent Base Opaque Finishes. Universal Hi-Build is ideal for both small and large shops that require build, sandability and excellent hide. Its versatility allows it to be topcoated with solvent base, water base, architectural paints and enamels. It stands up on MDF especially well due to its high viscosity, creating excellent edge build. Universal Hi-Build’s hang on vertical surfaces allows shops to customize the number of coats to suit specific project needs. Universal Hi-Build Water Base Opaque Undercoater is the universal sealer for door and millwork and MDF interior wood surfaces.
