This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional painters preparing masonry surfaces. The HQC Stabilising Primer's key benefit is its ability to seal powdery and chalky areas, ensuring a stable base for new paint. A minor caveat is the need for surfaces to be sound, clean, and dry before application. This water-based primer is designed to penetrate and bind loose particles on various masonry substrates, creating an ideal surface for HQC Masonry Paints.

Its main purpose is to seal and consolidate unstable, powdery, or chalky areas on masonry surfaces that remain after preparation, creating a solid base for painting.
No, the surface must be sound, clean, and dry before application for the primer to work effectively and adhere properly.
It can be applied to brick, stone, render, concrete, plaster, pebble dash, stucco, existing painted surfaces, and other friable surfaces.
Typically, one coat is sufficient. However, for extremely powdery or chalky surfaces, a second coat may be necessary after the first has dried.
No, the HQC Stabilising Primer is colourless and dries clear, so it will not alter the final color of your masonry paint.
You should allow the primer to dry completely, which usually takes 4-6 hours, but always refer to the specific product instructions for exact drying times.
This primer is specifically formulated for use with HQC Masonry Paints. It is recommended to apply two coats of the selected HQC Masonry Paint for best results.
Ensure the surface was adequately prepared and is completely dry. Very heavy chalking may require more than one application of primer. Check that you are using the correct HQC Masonry Paint as a topcoat.
This primer should dry clear and matte. If a sheen is present, it may indicate incomplete drying or an incompatible surface. Ensure adequate ventilation and drying time.
Apply the primer evenly, avoiding overworking it. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for masonry primers. Ensure smooth, consistent application.
This usually indicates the underlying surface was not properly prepared (not clean, dry, or sound) or the primer has not bonded correctly. Ensure all loose material was removed before application.
Preparation is Key: Before applying HQC Stabilising Primer, ensure the surface is sound, clean, and dry. Remove any loose debris, dirt, or efflorescence. Thoroughly prepare the area by scraping, brushing, or washing as needed.
Application: Apply one coat of the primer using a brush or roller. Pay particular attention to any remaining powdery or chalky areas. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 4-6 hours, but check the product label).
Topcoat Application: Once fully dry, apply two coats of your chosen HQC Masonry Paint. Ensure each coat is thoroughly dry before applying the next.
Compatibility: This primer is designed for use on brick, stone, render, concrete, plaster, pebble dash, stucco, existing painted surfaces, and other friable surfaces prior to over-coating with HQC Masonry Paints. It is not intended for use on floors or in areas of constant immersion.
Care: Store the primer in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use. Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment with water immediately after use.
