How do I clean up after using this primer?

What should I do if the primer is too thick?

If the primer feels thick, ensure that it is mixed thoroughly before application. If needed, a small amount of the appropriate thinner can be used as per the manufacturer's guidelines, but this is usually unnecessary.

Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface before application. Apply a second coat if needed.

Uneven finish after priming.

Apply the primer evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply a second coat if needed, and sand lightly between coats.

Primer takes longer than 2 hours to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels in the room. High humidity can slow drying times.
