MIXING:

GAF Multi-Purpose Primer is a two-component material. Mix Part A individually, then add Part B into Part A and mix until a uniform consistency is achieved. Once mixed, the usable pot life is approximately 2 hours at 75°F (24° C). Do not use any material that has been mixed for more than 4 hours. Avoid overmixing, as product will thicken.

APPLICATION:

GAF Multi-Purpose Primer may be applied by brush, roller, or spray at the rates specified to the right. Call GAF Technical Support Services for spray recommendations. GAF Multi-Purpose Primer is not designed to form a heavy surface film. Over-application will reduce adhesion strength. Allow primer to dry. Primer MUST be top-coated within 48 hours of application or the top coat will not achieve a chemical bond with the Multi-Purpose Primer.
