    Spray these adhesive primers onto a mounting surface to quickly and smoothly apply signs, labels, and protective films. These primers float adhesive-backed sheets above a surface until you press them down, giving you time to position the sheet and remove any wrinkles. Since the sheet doesn’t stick right away, you can apply large sheets without needing a second pair of hands. These primers also work with non-adhesive films. Even in hot or cold temperatures, your sheet will stay put.
    Clean the mounting surface with adhesive primer before applying a film, so no residue is trapped underneath. Use a smoothing tool (sold separately) to squeeze out air bubbles and excess fluid. Drying time depends on application—most decals and films will dry within 90 seconds, but 3D printer sheets should dry for 24 hours before printing.

    Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Paint Primers. Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal.
    A high concentration of zinc gives these paint primers excellent corrosion resistance for protecting steel—when exposed to moisture and chemicals, the zinc rusts before the underlying steel can. They’re often used with structural steel to prepare the surface for paint while forming a protective layer. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
    Epoxy—Epoxy paint primers have excellent abrasion resistance. The container size listed is the combined total of the three parts.
    Polyurethane Rubber—Polyurethane rubber paint primers can be applied in environments with high humidity. They allow underlying moisture to escape while preventing additional water from getting in. Surface must be visibly dry and free of frost and ice.
