JSW Paints Aquaglo Wood Primer – Water Based (White)

JSW Paints Aquaglo Wood Primer: The Low-Odor Foundation for Wood Finishes

JSW Paints Aquaglo Wood Primer is a premium, water-based primer designed specifically for interior woodwork. Moving away from traditional solvent-based primers, the Aquaglo Wood Primer offers the benefits of superior adhesion and sealing without the harsh chemical odor, making it ideal for use in occupied homes and enclosed spaces like kitchen cabinets.

This product creates a critical barrier between the raw wood and the final topcoat (such as Aquaglo Enamel or JSW’s other interior wood finishes). It seals the porous surface, prevents the topcoat from soaking in unevenly, and ensures excellent coverage and a uniform sheen across your doors, window frames, and furniture.
