Product Information

Full details

The GLEAN Slurry Primer is designed for DIYers and professionals laying patios, terraces, pathways, and driveways. Its key benefit is delivering unrivalled adhesion between paving materials and bedding mortar, significantly reducing the risk of delamination and movement for a long-lasting finish. A potential caveat is that proper mixing and application are crucial for optimal performance. This primer enhances the bond to porcelain, natural stone, concrete flags, and clay pavers.

FAQs

How much water should I mix with the GLEAN Slurry Primer?

Refer to the product packaging for the precise water-to-primer ratio. Typically, a specific volume of water is added to a measured amount of powder to achieve the desired slurry consistency.

Can I use GLEAN Slurry Primer on interior floors?

No, GLEAN Slurry Primer is specifically designed for outdoor paving applications like patios, terraces, pathways, and driveways.

What is the shelf life of the unused powder?

Unopened GLEAN Slurry Primer powder should be stored in a cool, dry place. Check the packaging for the specific expiry date. Once mixed, the slurry should be used within a short timeframe.

How long does it take for the primer to set?

The primer itself does not 'set' in isolation. It cures as the bedding mortar sets. Follow the mortar manufacturer's guidelines for setting times before walking on or using the paved area.

Can I apply the primer to existing paved surfaces?

GLEAN Slurry Primer is intended for use when initially laying new paving materials, not for bonding to existing, fully set surfaces.

What tools are best for applying the primer?

A brush or roller is recommended for even application of the slurry primer. Choose tools that allow for consistent coverage on the back of the paving units or the bedding mortar.

Troubleshooting

Primer mixture is too thin or too thick.

Adjust the amount of water added. If too thin, add a small amount of primer powder. If too thick, add a little more water, mixing thoroughly to achieve a smooth, workable consistency as per product instructions.

Paving elements are not adhering well.

Ensure the back of the paving element and the bedding mortar were clean and dry before application. Re-apply primer to the affected elements and ensure even coverage.

Primer seems to be drying too quickly.

Work in smaller sections and mix only the amount of primer that can be applied within its pot life. Ensure conditions are not excessively hot or windy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To prepare the slurry, mix the GLEAN Slurry Primer powder with water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Aim for a smooth, lump-free consistency, similar to thick paint. Apply the mixed slurry evenly to the back of the paving unit or onto the prepared bedding mortar using a brush or roller immediately after mixing.

Compatibility: This primer is compatible with porcelain, natural stone, concrete flags, and clay pavers. Ensure the surface of the paving unit and the bedding mortar are clean, dry, and free from dust and contaminants before application for optimal adhesion.

Care: Once applied and the paving is laid, the slurry primer cures as part of the bedding mortar's setting process. No specific maintenance is required for the primer itself. Ensure the overall paved area is kept clean according to the paving material manufacturer's recommendations.
