Avista Resurfacing Primer is suitable for use on sound concrete and cementitious screeds that are free from surface contamination and have been well prepared. It should not be used on oil contaminated concrete or existing epoxy toppings.
Avista Resurfacing Primer should not be applied when the surface temperature of the substrate is below 10°C, or likely to fall below 10°C within 48 hours of application.
Ensure concrete is fully cured (minimum of 14 days) and free of grease, oil, paint or any curing agent. Clean surface using a general purpose cleaner.
Acid etch using hydrochloric acid (dilute approximately 20 parts water to 1 part acid). Pressure clean immediately before acid dries.
Shake Avista Primer container well before opening and then dilute 1 part Primer to 3 parts water in a clean bucket (4 litres of mixed Primer will cover approximately 40m² depending on the porosity of the concrete).
Apply the mixed primer to the surface using a soft broom, roller or sprayer. Spread evenly across the surface so primer doesn’t pool as this can affect adhesion. Whilst the surface is still wet, the resurfacing coating can be applied.
Whilst the surface is still wet, Dulux Avista Resurfacing Compound can be applied as per the instructions on the bag.
