The Secret to Painting Over Stubborn Surfaces with Ease

We’ve all been there—staring at a surface that seems determined to ruin your painting plans. Whether it’s water stains, crayon marks courtesy of your tiny Picasso, or mystery odours that just won’t quit, some surfaces refuse to cooperate. But before you give up and rearrange furniture to hide the problem, there’s a saviour that can tackle these challenges head-on: Haymes Paint Ultrahold.

Why Some Surfaces Are Particularly Troublesome

Stains and imperfections don’t just disappear under a fresh coat of paint. Water damage, tannins from wood, smoke stains, and even pet accidents can bleed through layers of paint, leaving unsightly marks or unpleasant smells. Standard primers often struggle to block these out completely, which means you might find yourself repainting sooner than you'd like. That’s where Ultrahold steps in.

Meet Ultrahold: The Game-Changer for Difficult Surfaces

Haymes Paint Ultrahold is a methylated spirit-based stain blocker designed to make painting over problem areas a breeze. Here’s what makes it a must-have:

Fast Drying: It dries quickly, meaning you’re not standing around waiting forever to re-coat.
Superior Stain Blocking: From smoke and water damage to pesky mould and graffiti, it seals these offenders in so they stay hidden.
Superb Adhesion: Paint sticks to it beautifully, whether you’re using acrylic or oil-based topcoats.
Quick Re-Coat Time: Ready for another coat in just one hour—perfect for those of us who like instant results!

How to Get the Best Results with Ultrahold

Applying paints and primers is one thing, but getting a flawless finish on tricky surfaces takes some know-how. Here’s what you need to do:

Prepping the Surface: Give the area a clean to remove dirt and grease. A quick sand for glossy surfaces won’t hurt either.
Apply Ultrahold Evenly: Use a brush or roller, ensuring full coverage where needed, especially over heavy stains or marks.
Let It Dry: In just an hour, it’s ready for the topcoat—so no need to clear your weekend for this job.
Finish with Your Choice of Paint: Once sealed, apply your favourite paint colour for a professional, lasting finish.

Perfect for DIY Fans and Homeowners Who Want Results

For homeowners and DIY enthusiasts, nothing is more frustrating than watching stains reappear after hours of painting. Wouldn’t it be nice to just do it once and know it’s done right? That’s the peace of mind Ultrahold offers.

Stop Stains in Their Tracks

Next time you’re faced with stubborn marks, odours, or tricky surfaces, you’ll know exactly what to do. Haymes Paint Ultrahold has you covered—literally. Pick up a tin and watch those problem areas disappear for good!
