Application

  • Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove all contaminants such as water, soluble materials, or other foreign substances.
  • Application: Apply SpecPrime uniformly at a rate of 100-150 square feet per gallon using a brush, broom, or sprayer. Ensure the surface is coated thoroughly to remain slightly tacky when dry.
  • Drying Time: Typically 2-3 hours at 70°F. Ensure good ventilation to avoid delays in drying.
  • Reapplication: For very porous surfaces, a second application may be required after 2-3 hours to achieve a continuous film.
