OmniBuild® Pro Primer
522-3001 OmniBuild® Pro Neutral Primer
Product Codes:

522-3001

Surface Preparation:

Substrate should be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper. OmniBuild Pro cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers. For optimum results use 117-24XX Chemlife 24 or 117-25XX Chemlife 24 Plus Topcoat.

General Information:

Mix OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer thoroughly, then catalyze and reduce material as recommended. OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer must be well mixed while adding catalyst and reducers and must be agitated at all times to ensure product consistency.
OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer is applied in one or two coats and can be used as a primer for most wood and wood products meant for indoor use. A thorough sanding using 240/320 grit stearated paper between coats is essential for adhesion. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. Care should be taken to avoid sanding through the primer coat. With profiled edges, care must be taken with sanding of primer to avoid sanding through sharp edges. Complex profiles or profiles with sharp corners may cause difficulties in obtaining an effective primer coat of even thickness. In these cases, profile design must be discussed with your technical representative. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided once the OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer has been catalyzed. To ensure proper uniformity, the material should be agitated at all times. Please refer to the specific topcoat PIS for recommended dry film thickness for the topcoat. Total recommended dry film build of OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer and Chemlife 24 Plus system is not to exceed 8 mils dry: OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer with any other recommended post-catalyzed topcoat system is not to exceed 7 mils dry.

           803-1298 20-25% as needed for 873-1205 catalyst
**Using 803-1298 as the reducer for OmniBuild reduces the potlife to 8 hours**

Designed for solid wood and MDF. For all other substrates including combination substrates, please contact your Chemcraft representative for additional information.
OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between the coats. OmniBuild Pro Neutral Primer must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. During the curing process, the coating must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finish surfaces. This may accelerate discoloration.
