• Surfaces must be free from dust, grease and fuel spillage before commencing application. No tack coat is required for Primaseal.
• A soft fibre or turks head brush should be used to apply Primaseal. The brush must be damp using clean water and any excess water shaken off before commencing application.
• Then using a full brush of material, brush evenly in one direction, covering the whole face of the joint. In very hot weather, application will be easier if the joint surface is slightly dampened. Do not apply in wet or freezing conditions.

In normal circumstances surfacing can commence within 15 minutes. The application of hot carpets rapidly completes the drying. Drying will be delayed in cold, damp and humid weather.

Wash brushes immediately after use in a detergent solution. If the material has cures, soak in paraffin and then wash in soapy water.
