The Secret to a Perfect Paint Finish: Why Haymes Ultraseal is a Must-Have

Ever painted a wall, stepped back, and thought, “Why does it look patchy?” or “Why isn’t the topcoat sitting right?” It’s not your technique. It’s probably your base. Just like good skincare before makeup, a flawless paint job starts with proper preparation. That’s where Haymes Ultraseal comes in. This ultra-premium acrylic sealer undercoat is the perfect partner for fresh plaster, giving you a solid, even foundation for your topcoat.

Fresh Plaster Needs a Little Extra Love

Painting new plaster without sealing it first is like trying to apply foundation on dry, flakey skin. It just won't sit right. Fresh plaster is porous. It will soak up your expensive paint like a sponge, leaving you with dull patches and inconsistent colour. This is where Haymes Ultraseal saves the day. It acts as a barrier, ensuring your topcoat glides on smoothly and evenly.

Fast Drying and No Nasty Smells

The faster your basecoat dries, the sooner you can move on to the fun part—choosing your top colour! Haymes Ultraseal dries quickly, so you’re not waiting around. Plus, it’s water-based, meaning no heavy fumes filling up your home. Whether you’re tackling an interior space or sprucing up an exterior wall, you won’t be stuck with lingering odours.

Smooth As Silk: Fantastic Sanding Properties

We all want that silky-smooth finish. A rough, uneven surface can make even the best topcoat look ordinary. Thanks to its excellent sanding properties, Haymes Ultraseal makes it easy to achieve a velvet-like texture. A quick sand after application, and you’ll have the perfect surface to apply your chosen colour.

Compatible with Both Water-Based and Oil-Based Paints

Flexibility matters when choosing a sealer undercoat. Haymes Ultraseal works under both water-based and oil-based paints. So, whether you opt for a soft matte or a high-gloss finish, your chosen paint will adhere beautifully, ensuring long-lasting coverage.

The Green Choice: Global Green Tag Certified

Sustainability is more important than ever. The good news? Haymes Ultraseal is Global GreenTag Certified, meaning you're not only setting yourself up for a great finish but also making an eco-friendly choice. Fewer toxins in your home, better air quality, and a little less harm to the environment—it’s a win all round.

Make Your Project a Success

If you want professional results in your DIY painting projects, start with a solid foundation. Haymes Ultraseal takes the guesswork out of sealing new plaster, making your walls look as pristine as they should. With no paint absorption, no patchiness, and a surface that’s smooth and ready for whatever colour you choose, it’s the secret weapon every DIY painter needs.
