Surface Preparation

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit paper prior to coating. Aquaprime WB Pigmented Primer should be sanded with 280/320 grit paper prior to being coated. Aquaprime WB Pigmented Primer should be coated within (8) hours of being sanded for maximum adhesion. When recoating, the previous coat of Aquaprime WB Pigmented Primer must be sanded and the next coat applied within (8) hours. 

Before applying any solvent borne topcoats, ensure the primer is thoroughly dry by allowing it to dry a minimum of 2 hours.

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
