For reliable protection of wooden surfaces and a long service life of products, experts recommend the use of “Tex” primer for wood. This tool is used to strengthen wood coatings and smooth the surface.
Tex Primer Advantages
Thanks to the capabilities of the modern technological production of building materials, manufacturers managed to achieve a breakthrough by launching innovative primer grades on the market designed to treat the surface of drywall, wood, and other porous materials immediately before coating with water dispersion emulsion, ceramic finish, wallpapering indoors, regardless of the humidity level in them .
If “Tex” primer is used for surface pretreatment, the consumption of material used for finishing is reduced, and adhesion to the finishing coating becomes stronger. Among the distinguishing qualities of a universal deeply penetrated primer are:
- quick drying;
- lack of smell;
- explosion and fire safety;
- protective properties that prevent the development of mold and fungi.
The peculiarity of the primer mixture is the finished release. Such a primer can be applied immediately without diluting with water or diluting with solvents.
Compared to other mixtures, Tex primer has a significant advantage. The surface treatment with such a solution allows it to be strengthened, and the adhesion of the wall surface and the finishing material can be improved.
The company's assortment includes a wide range of penetrating primers.
Features of the priming process
Before you start work, determine the indicators of humidity indoors. Do not forget that with increased humidity indicators, drying will take a long time, while in a room with a dry microclimate, the primer is absorbed in just a couple of hours.
Experts recommend choosing a special Tex primer for work, characterized by water-repellent properties.
Application is made in two layers, waiting until the previous layer is dry. So the coating becomes more smooth and reliable, which makes the surface finish with paint or plaster more economical.
Please note that when priming wood under varnish, you will have to spend more time and make efforts to finish the surface. The varnish should maximize the texture of wood, and the primer will only help emphasize the beauty of the breed, smoothing out bumps, laying a pile that spoils the appearance of the surface.
Experts advise the use of primers for industrial groups, including Tex brand wagon products.
Primer sequence
Wizards advise surface treatment in the following order:
- Grinding the base to a smooth surface.
- Cleaning from dust and dirt. Use a lint-free cloth thoroughly moistened with solvent.
- Now the stage has come to apply the first coat of primer with a spray gun, roller or brush.
- The surface is left until the Tex primer dries, after which a second coat is applied if necessary. If the surface is smooth and even, then the second layer is not necessary.
What else to look for
Please note that the drying time between application of the layers should be at least 3-4 hours.
Experts suggest that before you start processing the walls and ceiling, you need to study the features of the microclimate in the room. The optimum temperature will be from +5 ° C and humidity not higher than 80%. It is recommended to refrain from surface treatment with a primer in extreme heat, as the Tex Universal primer dries too quickly and does not saturate the surface sufficiently.
Now, knowing about the features of the composition, choosing a tool and self-impregnating the surface will not be difficult even for a beginner in this matter. In addition to choosing a deep penetration Tex coat, you should take care of purchasing the right tool with which you plan to process the walls. Only in this way will it be possible to perform a high-quality priming of the surface, which means it is good to prepare it for reliable adhesion to the finish.
