FAQs

Can I use this on soft plastics?

No, this primer is specifically formulated for rigid plastics like PVC, polypropylene, resin, and fiberglass.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, apply 2-3 thin coats, allowing 15-20 minutes of drying time between each.

How long until it is fully cured?

Allow 24 hours for the primer to fully harden before applying a final topcoat.

Can I spray this indoors?

No, this product should only be used outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area due to the nature of the aerosol.

What is the best temperature for application?

The product performs optimally at ambient temperatures between 15C and 25C.

Do I need to sand the plastic first?

While the primer has superior adhesion, ensuring the surface is clean and free of contaminants is the most important step; light sanding can improve results on very smooth or glossy plastics.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is clogged

If the nozzle is blocked, attempt to clear it by inverting the can and spraying. If it remains clogged, soak the nozzle in a suitable solvent or replace it.

Paint is bubbling or running

You are likely holding the can too close or applying coats that are too thick. Increase the distance to 15-25cm and apply thinner, lighter layers.

Primer is not sticking to the plastic

The surface was likely not clean enough. Ensure all oil, grease, and dirt are removed with a degreaser before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, work only in temperatures between 15C and 25C in a well-ventilated area. Before beginning, ensure your workspace is shielded from direct sunlight, as high heat can affect the drying process and surface finish. Shake the canister vigorously for approximately 2 minutes before starting and periodically during use to maintain formula consistency. After you have finished your project, perform the critical 'clear-out' step: invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds. This clears the internal dip tube and nozzle, preventing the primer from hardening inside the mechanism during storage. Store the container in a cool, dry location to preserve its shelf life.
