Application Process of Smart Clear Primer

Transform any surface effortlessly by following these straightforward steps :

  1. Prepare the Surface
    Start by ensuring your surface is thoroughly clean before applying Smart Clear Primer. A spotless base is the foundation for a perfect finish. Sand the surface and remove sanding dust.
  2. Apply the First Coat
    Now evenly apply the primer, allowing it to dry completely, then sanding it smooth for a refined touch.
  3. Build the Layers
    Repeat the process with a second coat, sanding thoroughly after each layer. However, for porous surfaces such as fresh wood or plaster, you may need to add extra coats and sanding to achieve a perfectly smooth result.

FAQ's

Well, first things first – prepare your surface. Make sure that your surface is clean, as smooth as possible and free from any dust, grease, or imperfections. Now, grab a high-quality foam or mohair roller for a seamless application (or use a sprayer if you prefer). Apply a thin, even coat of clear primer and let it dry completely. This usually takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on conditions. Once dry, sand the surface until as smooth as possible. However, if your surface is extra absorbent or uneven, repeat the process with another coat. Remember to sand between each subsequent coat for achieving a flawless foundation before painting.
