A quick wipe with a damp sponge before the filler sets will smooth out small ridges and save on sanding time later.

Masking before you paint makes the job faster and cleaner.
If you are covering a dark colour or a surface that’s never been primed or painted, you will need to use an undercoat. It can also provide a better coverage and hiding power than just applying extra top coats. To apply an undercoat simply paint one coat of Dulux 1-Step Primer Sealer Undercoat or two coats of Dulux PRECISION Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer after preparing the area.
For additional assurance of superior coverage and hiding power, use Dulux Wash&Wear® +Plus Super Hide. It is formulated with concentrated levels of titanium pigment, meaning it is ideal for covering darker walls in fewer coats.
