FAQs

Can I use this primer on metal surfaces?

Yes, but ensure the metal is properly prepared. Clean, degrease, and prime with a suitable metal primer first.

How many coats of primer do I need?

Usually, one coat is sufficient, but two coats are recommended for porous surfaces or to block stubborn stains.

What kind of topcoats can I use with this primer?

This primer is ideal for use with Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Gloss and Satin paints. It is compatible with other water-based topcoats as well.

How much coverage can I expect from one litre?

You can expect coverage of up to 15m² per litre, but this may vary depending on the surface porosity and application method.

Is this primer suitable for exterior use?

Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, provided the surface is prepared correctly.

How do I clean up after using this primer?

Clean all tools and equipment with water immediately after use.

What should I do if the primer gets on my skin?

Wash the affected area with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Can I apply this primer directly to wallpaper?

No, this primer is not designed for direct application to wallpaper. Remove the wallpaper before priming and painting.

Troubleshooting

The primer is not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared by sanding and removing any loose paint or contaminants. Apply a second coat if necessary.

The primer is showing brush marks or roller marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the primer evenly and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Maintain a wet edge during application.

Stains are bleeding through the primer.

Apply a second coat of the primer undercoat, or spot-prime areas with heavy staining before the overall coat.

The primer is taking longer to dry than expected.

Ensure adequate ventilation and check the room temperature and humidity levels. High humidity and low temperatures can slow the drying process.
