You can apply it by brush, roller, or spray. The Any-Angle Spray with Comfort Tip allows spraying from various angles (even upside down in some cases) and features a wider finger pad to reduce fatigue during application, helping you achieve a smooth, even coat.

Question 7

What are the basic usage steps and drying times I should know?

Accepted Answer

Steps: 1) Clean and dry the surface, 2) Shake well, 3) Apply three coats, allowing each coat to dry to the touch (about 30 minutes) before the next, 4) Allow full cure before top-coating. Drying times can vary with temperature and humidity; recoat when the surface is dry to the touch.

Question 8

What safety considerations should I be aware of when using this oil-based primer?

Accepted Answer

Great for creating interactive walls in classrooms or offices, magnetic whiteboard or chalkboard surfaces, displaying magnets in craft or hobby spaces, and any project where you want magnets to adhere to a painted surface.

Question 10

If magnets don’t hold as well, how can I fix or adjust the finish?

Accepted Answer

If magnet attraction isn’t strong enough, you can apply additional coats (up to the recommended three coats) to improve magnet receptivity. Ensure the surface is fully dry between coats and top-coat after curing as needed.

Question 11

How does this primer compare to Krylon Magnetic Primer on Fepy in terms of magnet strength, coverage, and cost?
