Acratex® AcraPrime® TXT (Texture) is a high build, primer-sealer for exterior use on porous masonry under the Acratex® Textured Coating range. Applied by conventional nap roller, a fine aggregate fills masonry pores and minor imperfections providing a sealed anti-slip textured surface which greatly assists the application of subsequent texture coats.

AcraPrime TXT
Stirring: Stir well with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping motion.
Cutting in: Using a brush, apply sparingly to edges, internal angles and areas not accessible with a roller. Finish brushed areas with a “dabbing” motion and feather out. Do not leave thick straight edge lines as these will be visible after roller application. Alternatively, working in a team apply broad wall areas by roller, up to edges, allowing a partner to “dab” in edges whilst still wet.
Roller application: Generously load the roller and apply from the ground upwards in vertical strips.
Tip: The first few strips applied will essentially only fill the roller, with less material applied to the wall. Work these strips well to thoroughly wet out the roller. Successive strips will deliver more material to the wall
Apply the material in strips of approximately ½ –1m in length. Reload roller after each strip and repeat until a manageable section has been “delivered” (approximately 3 – 4 strips wide). Spread the material evenly by rolling diagonally across the surface. Apply a fresh strip of wet material to create a “working wet edge”, then “layoff”
