Tikkurila Valtti primer in 0.9 L is a specialized preparatory coating formulated for use on both wood and metal surfaces. Designed to be applied prior to topcoats, this primer improves adhesion, reduces uneven absorbency, and provides an initial barrier against moisture and corrosion. Packaged in a 0.9 litre can, it is suitable for renovation, maintenance and repair tasks on doors, windows, fences and other wooden or metal structures in indoor and outdoor conditions.
Advantages
This primer promotes strong adhesion between substrates and finishing paints, helping topcoats to form an even film. It evens out surface absorbency on varied wooden substrates and reduces the risk of tannin bleed and discoloration. On metal, the formulation improves resistance to early-stage corrosion and supports longer-lasting topcoat performance. The 0.9 L size provides a practical quantity for small to medium repair and renovation projects.
Suitable for
- Priming wooden doors, window frames and exterior joinery

How to use
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of loose paint, grease and dust. Sand glossy or rough surfaces to a suitable profile and remove sanding dust. Apply the primer evenly using a brush, roller or spray equipment appropriate for the container size and work area. Allow the primer to dry according to ambient temperature and humidity before applying the selected topcoat. Follow the topcoat manufacturer's instructions for compatible finishing systems and recommended drying times.
Usage recommendations
For best results, avoid priming in wet or freezing conditions and ensure good ventilation when working indoors. On bare metal with significant rust, prepare the surface with appropriate rust removal and treat with suitable metal-preparation products prior to priming. Test adhesion and compatibility on a small area if applying over existing coatings.
