3. Thin by adding 10% distilled water (by weight). SS EkoPrime Primer/Sealer may be sprayed right out of the bottle for heavy build up to fill scratches.
4. Always pour mixed and thinned primer through a medium paint filter before spraying.

SPRAY APPLICATION

1. The first coat of SS Waterborne Primer/Sealer is applied as a light tack coat. Allow to dry untill tacky.
2. Apply 2nd coat to achieve solid coverage.
3. If top coating is desired, allow to dry. Lightly sand with 320 grit open coat sandpaper or ScotchBrite with red ScotchBrite pad.

BRUSHING & ROLLING

For best results we advise spraying. But, if brushing or rolling is desired, you can achieve a nice finish with a foam brush or roller. Do not thin the primer with additional water unless it will not flow out.

CLEAN UP

Clean equipment immediately with water.

Reviews

This is not a high build primer at all, even out of the can it is already too thin to spray. It needed several coats, to build up a sandable surface. I stirred up all the solids in the can. Otherwise I think it would be a good product.

Great products from Stewart Systems. Goes on smooth and covers and sands well. Best of all, no smell or harmful chemicals. This is not latex. Its only transferred with water. Love it.

This stuff cant be beat. I can prime and paint in my attached garage with no worries about fumes or harmful chemicals going into the house. The other stuff is covered wagon technology.

Needed to fill the weave in 1.3 oz fiberglass cloth that was applied over birch plywood fuselage. Two coats did the job nicely without the need of heavy “filler” primers and then mucho sanding and contouring . I lightly sanded with 220 dry before painting, but believe I could have just painted over a smooth application of this primer/sealer. JJ Sinclair

I used Stewarts system before on another airplane, it is water based so not toxic and or cancer causing . It works good, easier to use and not requiring a breathing device just a mask. I have not shoot this color of paint but we shall see. Again like with the cylinders I bought a few weeks ago in 10 years I will be able to tell you how good this material is, well see how long it lasts.
