What sealer for rendered solid plaster exterior wall?

[MikeyMike1]

Hi, we have an exterior concrete block wall that was rendered with solid plaster several months ago. We want to paint it and looking for advice on what to use to seal it. The advice I have received is to use Dulux PRECISION® Sealer Binder oil-based prepcoat (which it seals porous surfaces), but Bunnings does not appear to stock this, and I'd rather used water-based if possible. Would Dulux 1Step Prep Primer, Sealer & Undercoat work? Or what other sealer/primer available at Bunnings would be recommended?

Thanks!

Hi @MikeyMike1,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Yes, the Dulux 1Step Prep Primer, Sealer & Undercoat would be suitable as a primer before applying your exterior paint.

You could also use the Dulux PRECISION Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer, which is a water-based version of the oil-based primer that you were recommended.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
