Product Information
Full details
Kelmore PrimeMore Universal is a high-performance primer designed for professional tilers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable surface preparation solution for porous walls and floors. Its primary benefit is the regulation of surface porosity, which ensures optimal adhesion and superior finish for levelling compounds and tile adhesives. While it is highly versatile for indoor and outdoor applications, users should note that the product requires precise dilution with water before use to achieve the intended results.

FAQs
Can I use this primer on non-porous surfaces?
No, PrimeMore Universal is specifically formulated for porous and absorbent surfaces.
How do I know if I have mixed it correctly?
The solution should be a consistent, light blue color. If it appears dark or streaky, continue stirring until the pigment is fully dispersed.
Is the blue color permanent?
The blue pigment acts as an application guide. Once the subsequent adhesive or levelling compound is applied, the blue tint is covered and will not affect the final finish.
Can I use this for both floors and walls?
Yes, it is designed for both wall and floor applications provided the substrate is absorbent.
What is the shelf life of an opened bottle?
Provided the cap is replaced securely and the product is stored in a cool, dry area, it should remain effective for typical project durations. Always check for signs of contamination before use.
Troubleshooting
Primer feels tacky after 30 minutes
Drying times are based on 20°C. If your workspace is cooler or has high humidity, allow for a longer drying period.
Blue color looks patchy
This indicates uneven application. Apply a second uniform coat once the first has dried to ensure total coverage.
Primer is too thick to spread easily
Verify your dilution ratio. Ensure you are using 3 parts water to 1 part primer.
