ROUGH PRIME: Primer for New, Rough, Fiberglass and Sandblasted Surfaces

This epoxy primer should also be used as a filler primer for newly gunited surfaces. It is also an excellent material to fill holes, depressions and pits in all interior concrete or plaster pools. It will smooth up a rough surface and provide a smooth base for the succeeding coat of DURA SEAL. ROUGH PRIME is also to be used on rough plaster, fiberglass and sandblasted surfaces.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Catalyst is under the lid in a separate container for use in 5-gallon cans for ROUGH PRIME. It is in a separate container when it is to be mixed with either quarts or gallons. IMPORTANT! Be certain to remove all the catalyst from the can when mixing with the base. Stir very thoroughly. We strongly recommend the use of an electric mixer to achieve proper mixing of any two-component material. Wait according to the induction schedule. All ROUGH PRIME containers are short filled to allow room for the addition of the catalyst. When the catalyst is added, it will fill the container.

For best results, the entire surface to be coated must be acid cleaned before applying ROUGH PRIME. This removes loose grit and unsound surface materials. After acid washing, the surface should be washed with tri-sodium phosphate in order to neutralize and remove all traces of acid. The surface should then be hosed off.

Maximum Recoating Time of ROUGH PRIME with DURA SEAL: 48 hours

Pot Life:
ROUGH PRIME:
Approx. 4 hours @ 85°F

NOTE! Above 85°F, use immediately after mixing thoroughly with catalyst. Do not mix 5-gallon containers unless you can use within 30 to 40 minutes. The smaller the quantity mixed at one time, the longer the pot life. Always store and mix in a cool place.

NOTE! Pot life and working time can be increased by thinning 5% to 10% with #1109 Epoxy Solvent. Highly recommended when surface temperatures exceed 90°F.
