Diamond Brite 40100 5-Gallon Interior/Exterior Latex Primer Sealer

The surface should always be primed before painting as the final step in any painting preparation. Some surfaces, like new drywall, have varying porosities, meaning they absorb paint at different rates across the surface. Other surfaces can be slick, posing adhesion problems for paint. To seal the porosity of drywall and provide a uniform surface for paint, PVA primer should be used.

PVA stands for polyvinyl acetate, the resin system used in the primer. PVA drywall primer was specifically designed for new drywall. This type of primer wets the surface of the wall very well and seals it effectively. It wets the surface better and is easier to re-coat, ensuring a more uniform finish.

Importantly, PVA primer will not act as a stain-blocking primer. For clean-up and disposal, use soap and water. Do not dispose of this product down a drain; instead, contact your household refuse collection service for the proper disposal of empty containers and unused product. Protect the product from freezing.

The primer offers several key features. It hides surface imperfections, dries quickly, and has a low odor. It can be used with both latex and oil-based paints, serving as both a primer and a sealer in one. The primer can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto the surface, making application easy and convenient.

In summary, priming the surface with a PVA primer is a critical final step in any painting preparation. The primer seals the porosity of drywall, provides a uniform surface for paint, and offers several other beneficial features. Proper clean-up and disposal are also important considerations. By following these steps, you can ensure a high-quality, long-lasting paint job.
