Alkyde Water-base Primer

Alkyde Water-base Primer

Create unique furniture with a high-quality water-base primer for Colorantic chalk paints or all waterborne paints! Whether you’re refinishing old furniture, painting a chest of drawers, an Art & Craft project or reviving your kitchen cabinets with a new look, you need a high-quality primer for your chalk paint projects. Be sure to use an oil-based primer if you have oil-based varnish, melamine or plastic underneath. Rule number 1. If these aren’t the types of surfaces you’re looking for, you can use our Grip All water-based primer.

Features

• ALL PURPOSE PAINT PROJECTS – This Grip All water-based primer works smoothly on a variety of surfaces.
• 3 DIFFERENT SIZES – We have 3 different sizes: 16, Quart (32 oz) and 1 Gallon (128 oz). The 16 oz is a plastic container with a screw-on lid.
• PREPARATION IS ALWAYS BEST – Endorsed by all Canadian chemists: it’s best to prepare your surface if it’s shiny, glossy or if you’re not sure. Use a TSP or Colorantic cleaner and stripper. Leave for 30 minutes, then rinse with a damp cloth. You can use our small two-grit sanding blocks to remove excess old varnish. Then you’re ready to apply our Colorantic’s Grip water-based primer. Then apply two coats of Colorantic chalk-based paint or brand-name paints. Allow to dry for two to three hours. Then apply our matte varnish or smooth natural tinted or transparent matte wax. Allow to harden for one to two to seven days before using again.
• EASY TO CLEAN – We have the perfect Colorantic mango wax and brush soap. Your furniture is finished with a wax or varnish to increase its longevity. We have different colours of wax available on the Colorantic page to create the perfect ombré or antique look. The wax can be applied over the varnish, but never underneath.
