Application Process of Smart Clear Primer

Transform any surface effortlessly by following these straightforward steps :

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.
Apply the First Coat
Now evenly apply the primer, allowing it to dry completely, then sanding it smooth for a refined touch.
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.
