FAQs

Can I use this on flexible plastics?

This formula is specifically engineered for rigid plastics. Results may vary on soft, highly flexible materials.

How long should I wait before painting over the primer?

You should allow each coat 15-20 minutes to dry, but it is best to allow the final coat to cure fully for 24 hours before applying your topcoat.

Is this primer suitable for indoor use?

Only if the room is well-ventilated. Always ensure proper airflow during application and drying.

What temperatures are safe for application?

For best results, apply between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Does this product require sanding before use?

While it offers excellent adhesion, a light scuff with fine-grade sandpaper can further improve the mechanical bond on particularly smooth or glossy plastics.

Troubleshooting

The spray nozzle is clogging

Invert the can after use and spray for a few seconds to clear the valve of residual primer.

Paint is running or sagging

You are likely applying coats that are too thick; ensure you keep the can 15-25cm away and use thinner, more frequent passes.

Primer is not adhering to the plastic

Confirm the surface is truly clean and free of silicone-based polishes, which can repel the primer.

Pros and Cons

  • Easy-to-use aerosol delivery system

  • Requires 24 hours for full curing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and the ambient temperature is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. Surface preparation is critical: clean the plastic thoroughly to remove any grease, dust, or contaminants, and ensure it is completely dry. Shake the can well before use. Apply in thin coats, waiting 15-20 minutes between each application. Avoid overcoating until the surface is touch-dry. Store the aerosol in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the formula for future use.
