FAQs

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, this primer is formulated to work on a wide variety of surfaces, including appropriately prepped metal.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity; please consult the technical specifications on the packaging for the most accurate timing.

Is this a water-based or solvent-based primer?

Blackfriar Problem Solving Primer is designed for performance, and you should check the product label for specific chemical instructions and solvent requirements.

Do I need to sand the primer before painting?

Generally, it provides a smooth enough surface to paint directly over, but a light scuffing can be performed if you require a perfectly flat finish.

Can this be used outdoors?

This product is primarily intended for surfaces where indoor decoration needs a reliable base; check the label for exterior compatibility warnings.

Troubleshooting

Primer is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of all dust, grease, and wax before application.

Stains are still showing through

Apply a second, slightly heavier coat to ensure the stain is completely sealed before moving to the topcoat.

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply using long, light strokes to maintain a level finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on difficult surfaces
  • Highly effective at masking persistent stains
  • Creates a smooth foundation for topcoats
  • Reliable, consistent performance

Cons

  • Limited 500ml size may be insufficient for large areas
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results
  • Not suitable for structural repairs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or wax before application. Stir the product thoroughly before use to ensure the binders and pigments are properly mixed. Apply using a brush or roller, maintaining a thin, even layer to avoid runs. Once the primer is dry—check the container for specific recoat times—you can apply your chosen topcoat. Clean brushes and equipment with the appropriate solvent immediately after finishing your work to prevent permanent hardening of the tools.
