Applying American Clay Sanded Primer

Applies only to those surfaces listed in Substrate Category I on page 2. Skip this step if your surface is listed in Substrate Category II or III.

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dust and grease.

1. Stir American Clay Sanded Primer well, mixing all ingredients evenly.

2. Brush Sanded Primer along the edges of the wall, then roll or brush it on the remaining surfaces. Repeat for each wall you intend to plaster. Make sure all parts of the surface are covered—plaster will not bond to a surface that is not properly undercoated.

3. Let Sanded Primer dry for 3 hours. (Your wall may dry more or less quickly depending on temperature & humidity).

Clean up: Clean brush, roller, and roller pan with soap and warm water. Don’t forget the corners
