VP Platinum Bleeding Wood Isolator
Tackling bleeding wood can be a challenge for anyone striving for a smooth and even finish. Even when using solvent-based paints, this issue may arise, albeit less frequently, usually only after several years. It results in unsightly stains on painted surfaces, which are difficult to correct. To address this, we’ve developed a specialised product that is universally applicable and can be painted over with both water-based and alkyd-based paints. This isolating paint stops wood from bleeding and, more importantly, prevents it from recurring. We recommend applying 2 to 3 coats to ensure the primer provides sufficient isolating value. After this, it can be painted over with a topcoat.

What is VP Platinum Isolator used for?
VP Platinum Isolator is used to stop wood from bleeding. This isolator is perfect for both interior and exterior applications and is effective on most dark wood types. Thanks to its specific composition, VP Platinum Isolator forms a barrier that prevents natural resins, oils, and dyes from migrating to the paint layer. This makes it particularly suitable for doors and frames prone to bleeding. Using VP Platinum Isolator ensures your painted surfaces stay clean and flawless.
What is the coverage per m² of this product?
The coverage of VP Platinum Isolator is 10m² per litre, making it a highly efficient choice for both small and large projects. Additionally, we provide this product in a convenient small-size package, ideal for minor tasks or when only a limited area requires treatment. This ensures you can purchase just the right amount without waste, all while benefiting from the isolator’s excellent properties for a perfect finish.
Which surfaces is this product suitable for?
VP Platinum Isolator is suitable for multiple surfaces and is specifically designed to be effective on dark wood types prone to bleeding. Its powerful formula ensures unwanted resins, oils, and dyes are unable to penetrate the paint layer, delivering a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing surface. Aside from wood, VP Platinum Isolator can also be used on stone-like surfaces, making it a versatile solution for a wide variety of painting projects both indoors and outdoors.
How many coats are required?
We always recommend applying two coats, and in areas with severe bleeding issues, even three. This prevents stains from reappearing and provides optimal protection and finish. Applying multiple coats creates a stronger barrier against the natural resins, oils, and dyes present in wood. Each layer should be allowed to dry fully before the next is applied, ensuring a truly durable and flawless finish. With this method, you can be confident that your painting projects will not only look fantastic but will also last without unwanted stains or discolouration.

This product is suitable for both interior and exterior use and can be applied to various surfaces, making it highly versatile.
