(500ml) Plasti Dip Primer - PlastiDip Clear

(500ml) Plasti Dip Primer - PlastiDip Clear Description

Plasti Dip - The Original Peelable, Flexible, Insulating, Non-Slip, Durable, Rubber Coating!

Our Plasti Dip Primer is an air dried, acrylic primer specifically developed to increase adhesion to surfaces by up to 400%. Plasti Dip sticks to just about anything, and on most surfaces bonds permanently. However, as with any coating, primed surfaces are always best, and for this reason we have developed our Plasti Dip Primer to increase adhesion to most surfaces by up to 400%.

Our PRIMER can be sprayed, dipped or brushed, and offers fast set up time with a high coverage rate. Typically applied in one coat, only extreme corrosion and abrasion require a second or third coat, eliminating extensive preparation for most applications. Plasti Dip Primer is recommended on most non-absorbent surfaces, especially galvanized metal, to prevent peeling of Plasti Dip.

For best results apply Plasti Dip over our Primer as soon as it is dry to the touch. Plasti Dip Primer is not recommended for use as a protective coating on its own.

Our Plasti Dip Primer is now available in Clear for use with our Clear coatings.

PLEASE READ: Guide to Preparation and Application

The essential criteria is to ensure the surface is squeaky clean, grease, dirt, debris and contaminant free and thoroughly dry before coating.

On vehicles or irregular shaped items, particular attention should be paid to the sills, trim, gutters, grills, any tight or hard to get to corners and gullies that you would not normally concentrate on.

Wash only with hot water as some soap detergents contain residues that Plasti Dip may not adhere to.
Never use any petroleum, citric, alcohol or solvent based cleaning/care products with Plasti Dip.
Do not use car care cleaning products such as wheel shines, paint wipes etc, as these often leave trace residues which could cause adhesion problems.
Remove all traces of previous wax or silicone residue from cleaning products using the correct de-greaser, particularly for metal and plastic surfaces.
Clean large areas with Plasti Dip Panel Wipe degreaser.
Small areas can be cleaned with Plasti Dip “Dip Care Prep Degreaser”.
Ensure all water is removed and the area thoroughly dry before coating.

AEROSOLS – Refer to aerosol for instructions. Shake well before and during use. Test spray pattern on sample piece prior to application. In cold conditions, place aerosol in warm water (approximately 21°c) for 10-15 minutes before use.

BLAZE COLOURS – Best applied over white Plasti Dip base coat.

In common with all manufacturer's advice, we recommend testing on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure suitability. Base colours can alter the final shade.

If spraying, for a professional fine finish, Plasti Dip liquid should be filtered first. For best results, temperature of the spraying area should be between 10°c and a maximum of 27°c. Liquid Plasti Dip should be thinned 50/50 by weight. Apply the first coat as a mist coat and gradually build up the layers. The thicker the final coating, the easier it is to remove in the future should you wish. For vehicles, we suggest a minimum of 6-7 coats. For other projects a minimum of 2-4 coats is recommended depending on application method and coverage requirement.

Layers are touch dry and re-coatable in 30-45 minutes at 16-22°c and totally cured/dry 24-48 hours depending on temperature. Increase drying times in colder conditions.

Plasti Dip Primer is an adhesion promoter. Only use a primer to increase adhesion if you require a permanent coating. For permanent application, keying the surface with fine grit paper will improve adhesion if required.

For extra protection of your investment and ease of cleaning, we recommend using Dip Care Sealant over the final coating.
