Wall Primers

Recommendations for primers and wall prep work ideas for a good mechanical bond between old and new surfaces.

Primers based on acrylic are recommended and so important to the application process and just as important as the actual application itself. If you do not have a correct mechanical bond or adherence between the old drywall or substrate then you will not have a good application.

Distributors and suppliers of the highest quality primers and priming materials.

Two readily available water based Acrylic products we can recommend are Benjamin Moore Fresh Start and Kills 100% Acrylic with stain block (Home Depot).

We generally tend to use the first over new drywall and surfaces that have not had any treatment before, while we would use the latter over a surface that had previously been painted, wallpapered, etc, because of it's stain block capabilities.
