Clear Acrylic Primer Product Information
Product Application
Permanently flexible and non-yellowing ground.
No prior sizing needed.
Can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including raw canvas, wood and paper.
Can be used as rabbit skin glue substitute.
A minimum of 2 coats are recommended prior to oil painting. Water content may swell canvas fibres and give the surface a coarser surface. To smooth, lightly sand with flat-faced pumice stone and apply a second priming coat.
Thinning
For best results thin with distilled water. May be substituted with tap water (tap water may contain impurities)
Clean Up
Clean brushes with warm water immediately after use
For further washing apply a small quantity of Marseille or other pure olive oil soap and massage the bristles of the brush to release any remaining primer. Wash thoroughly in warm water. Leave to fully dry before using for oil colours.
Drying time
1-2 hours to touch dry. Any airflow over the surface will evaporate the water content more rapidly which will reduce drying times.
Full film drying 72 hours
