Owatrol ESP Easy Surface Prep 1 Liter

Owatrol ESP Easy Surface Prep is a wipe-on/wipe-off product which primes and prepares any shiny surface for painting. It completely eliminates the need for difficult and time-consuming sanding and leaves the surface ready for paint or varnish to bond to. It’s a safe and effective way to prepare any non-porous surface for painting and is ideal for use on ceramic tiles and melamine units.

It is easy on the hands, colourless, virtually odourless and can be wiped on and off with a lint-free cloth making it incredibly easy to use! Therefore, it is suitable for indoor and external use. ESP may be painted over anytime after 2 hours and up to 7 days later.

The benefits of ESP are self-evident:

• Easy to apply
• Eliminates the need for sanding
• Does not remove or dull the old finish.
• Paint over with any oil-based or water-based paint or varnish
• Paint over anytime after 2 hours or up to 7 days later – so there’s no high-stress time frame!
• It prepares all smooth or slick surfaces for painting or varnishing. Without a surface preparation such as ESP, the paint would quickly flake and peel.

This makes it excellent for painting tired or outdated kitchen cabinets, old bathroom suites, and worn out furniture!
