Using Acrylic Primer
SUBSTRATE PREPRATION:
Rapid Set Acrylic Primer is for use on properly prepared, dry, porous concrete surfaces only. Substrate must be clean, sound, and free of oil, curing compounds, dust, mastic and other bond-breakers. Mechanically profile surface by hydroblasting, shotblasting, sandblasting, or grinding. Scarifying or acid etching the concrete surface is not recommended.
MIXING AND APPLICATION:
Shake well to ensure primer is thoroughly mixed and there is no sediment in container bottom. Add 1 part primer to 1 part water in a clean container. Mix at low speed with a drill and Jiffler type mixing paddle.
Apply primer to substrate and work into the concrete surface with a stiff-bristle push broom. Spread evenly to thoroughly coat surface and avoid any puddling. Maintain materials, surface, and ambient temperatures above 50° F.
For excessively porous or absorbent concrete surfaces double prime the surface with an initial application of primer diluted 3 parts water to 1 part primer, wait 3 hours, then prime normally as above.
Let primed surface dry to a tacky, transparent thin film (min. 3 hrs, max. 24 hrs). Lower temperatures and/or higher humidity will extend required minimum drying time. When primer is dry, apply Rapid Set TRU Self Leveling according to instructions on bag.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Substrate must be clean, sound, and free of oil, curing compound, dust, mastic and other bond-breakers. Mechanical methods of surface preparation such as hydroblasting, shotblasting or sandblasting are preferred. Acid etching the substrate is not recommended. Surface must be dry, have a minimum temperature of 50°F and be properly primed.
