Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion to surface

Ensure the surface was cleaned of grease and dust, and sanded if it was previously glossy.

Primer feels tacky after drying time

Check humidity levels; high moisture in the air can significantly slow down the curing process of water-based products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose particles. For glossy surfaces, a light sanding will improve mechanical adhesion. Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Apply using a high-quality brush, roller, or sprayer depending on the project size. When working with new plaster, ensure the substrate is fully cured before priming. Cleanup is simple: wash brushes and tools immediately with warm soapy water after use. Always store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
