How to use this primer
First of all, you always need a good preparation. You'll have to clean and degrease the surface, let it dry thoroughly and sand it if necessary.
Protect anything that shouldn't be painted, such as the window or wall, to paint tamper-free. Use tape and cover foil if necessary.
Next, apply Sikkens Rubbol BL Primer. The number of coats (the actual coverage) depends on what you are painting. Usually, you do need at least two coats of primer. Finally, you can finish with one or possibly two more coats of your favourite paint.
