To be able to choose the right primer, you need to understand your skin type. Primers are designed for different skin types – normal skin, textured skin, oily skin, dry skin, combination skin and more. When you understand your skin type, choosing the right primer becomes easy.” When it comes to the strongest possible bond, have you traditionally trusted rivets? Create a bond to match without the stress points. Use high strength bonding tapes and NovaBond Surface Primer. Why NovaBond Surface Primer? NovaBond Surface Primer helps high strength bonding tape form an even more powerful bond. In fact, using the correct primer… Cleaners & Primers, Surface PrimersNovaBond Surface Primer helps high strength bonding tape form an even more powerful bond. In fact, using the correct primer can increase final bond strength by up to 50%*. The primer is solvent based and specifically formulated for the NovaBond SignFix range of high strength bonding tapes, though you’ll find it’s compatible with most advanced acrylic adhesives. It works by chemically altering the substrate surface, increasing the surface energy and making it more receptive to adhesive bonding. You need no specialist equipment to apply it, it’s fast acting and easy to use. Where to use NovaBond Surface Primer Step 3. You can begin UV inkjet printing and/or use your desired urethane coating, adhesive etc.. Within 30 minutes of treating glass with the GP083® molecular activator.

Step 1. Before applying GP083® molecular activator, prepare the glass surface that will be treated by spraying it with iso rubbing alcohol and scrubbing it with #000 or #0000 steel wool. Afterward, dry the glass surface with rubbing alcohol and paper towels.use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity.

On linen, cotton or paper you can seal the surface to prevent penetration from oil paint and have a good ground to paint on, in one of these three ways: Genuine Gesso is made of warmed animal glue and whiting. Shown here are four test pieces of wood with increasingly more coats of gesso right to left. The primary purpose of a primer is to prepare the skin for foundation. Depending on your skin type, this could be blurring the skin, filling in open pores, reducing shine, providing hydration, or providing a smooth canvas for make-up.” Is primer necessary?Acrylic ground (or acrylic gesso or acrylic primer) can fulfil all of these roles at the same time – it seals, primes and provides a ground. You can simply apply two or three thin coats, wait two days for it to cure if you are using acrylics and three days for oil painting, and you are ready to paint. But some artists prefer to add a size anyway before they apply acrylic primer, to reduce Support Induced Discolouration (SID) where sometimes the white ground gets yellow stains in it by drawing up colour from the canvas, wood or stretcher bars while it is wet. This is mostly of concern to painters who will be staining the canvas with thin transparent layers where the slight discolouration might show through. And even though it can act as size, primer and ground some painters only use acrylic primer for the sizing and priming qualities but do not like the ground it provides, finding it too absorbent or too toothy, so they might mix some matt medium into the ground before applying it to reduce absorbency, or apply an oil ground on top of the acrylic primer after it’s dry. If you want a more absorbent surface you can mix modelling paste or extra whiting or other chalk or marble dust into the ground before applying it. You can mix an acrylic texture paste such as pumice paste in with the acrylic primer/ground before applying it if you want more tooth, or mix in pumice powder. If you have a stretched canvas that is universally primed (meaning you can paint on it with oil or acrylic paint), there is an acrylic primer on it that has sized the surface, so you can add any custom ground on top of the provided priming, to give you the exact surface you want to paint on. Some examples are oil ground, absorbent ground, pastel primer and many other possibilities. Remove dirt, dust, excessive grease, oils or other contaminants with NovaBond Surface Cleaner, following the instructions. A primer could also be your moisturiser, so yes, it’s very necessary. It provides a canvas for your foundation and can aid the longevity of your make-up.” How do I choose the right primer? Preparation: Remove dirt, dust, excessive grease, oils or other contaminants with NovaBond Surface Cleaner, following the instructions. Application

Panels with different ready-prepared primers/grounds – top to bottom: Belle Arti gesso panel (acrylic primer), clear sized linen (RSG), universal primed linen (acrylic primer), oil primed linen and a universal primed cradled panel (acrylic primer). All visible signs of organic growths should be removed and the affected areas treated with Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and allowed the dry before priming.

Sometimes art terms can be confusing – some words mean more than one thing, or one product can be called two or three different names. A case in point is the words, Size, Primer, Gesso and Ground, that we use for the materials and methods used to prepare surfaces for painting. NovaBond Silane Glass Primer works by chemically altering the surface of the glass, increasing the surface energy and making it more receptive to adhesive bonding. No specialist equipment is required for application and it’s fast acting and easy to use…….plus the resultant bond can be up to 50% stronger. Please note: The above guidance does not constitute a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). For handling, storage, composition and safety information please ensure you have read and fully understood the NovaBond Surface Primer MSDS. Thoroughly spray/saturate glass surface with 70/30 isopropyl rubbing alcohol and then scrub the entire glass surface with #000 or #0000 steel wool. This ensures all possible impurities that could be impregnated into the glass surface have been removed.Next, clean glass surface with the same alcohol and new paper towels until dry (do not use lint free paper towels). Make sure glass has a squeaky clean feel/sound to the surface while being wiped dry.
