FAQs

Can I use this on non-rigid plastics?

This primer is specifically formulated for rigid plastics. Results on flexible plastics may vary and are not recommended.

How long until I can apply the topcoat?

While the primer is dry to touch between coats, it is best to allow the final coat to harden for at least 24 hours before applying topcoat.

Can I use this indoors?

It is recommended for outdoor use or in a well-ventilated area due to the nature of aerosol primers.

Why is the temperature important?

Temperatures between 15-25C ensure the formula sets correctly; if it is too cold or too hot, the drying time and adhesion properties can be negatively affected.

Do I need to sand the plastic first?

Generally, no. The primer is designed for superior adhesion to plastics, but a light wipe-down to ensure it is clean is required.

Troubleshooting

The spray nozzle is clogged.

Always invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds after every use to clear the valve.

The primer is peeling off the surface.

This usually indicates the surface was not clean enough; ensure all grease or oil is removed before application.

The finish looks uneven or runny.

You likely applied the coats too heavily. Use thin, even layers and maintain a consistent distance of 15-25cm.

Pros and Cons

  • Application restricted to well-ventilated areas or outdoors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, follow these preparation and maintenance steps:

  1. Surface Prep: Thoroughly clean the substrate. Ensure it is free of dust, grease, and oil, as these prevent adhesion.
  2. Application: Shake the canister vigorously for at least 2 minutes. Maintain a spray distance of 15-25cm from the object.
  3. Layering: Apply multiple thin coats, allowing 15-20 minutes of drying time between each.
  4. Environmental Control: Work only in well-ventilated areas within the 15-25C temperature range. Avoid high humidity.
  5. Maintenance: After finishing your project, hold the canister upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds. This clears the nozzle and prevents the internal tube from clogging for future use.
