How to use BAL Primer 1C:
It's important that BAL Primer 1C remains undiluted and isn't used in temperatures below 5°C.
- Start by ensuring surfaces to be primed are free from dirt, grease and other loose materials. Brush down highly polished surfaces with a stiff bristle brush before priming to allow optimal primer adhesion.
- Apply 1 coat of primer using a clean brush from a container. If you're using BAL Primer 1C on a floor area, do not allow the primer to allow to form puddles.
- Ensure even coverage over the area to be primed.
- Allow the primer to dry thoroughly before applying tile adhesive. This should take roughly 15-30 minutes at room temperatures.
- Clean product from tools using clean water.
