How should I prepare the surface before applying the primer?

Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of rust). Lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. Apply an even coat and avoid applying too much primer at once.

Rust appearing after priming.

Ensure all rust is removed before priming. Apply a second coat of primer if necessary. If the rust is severe, consider using a rust converter before priming.

Primer takes too long to dry.

Ensure proper ventilation during drying. Check the temperature and humidity levels; high humidity and low temperatures can slow drying times. Apply a thinner coat of primer.
