Forcrete β€” Monoprime

Complete guide for preparation, application, and drying times for the wall primer Monoprime.

πŸ’‘ About Monoprime:
Monoprime is a waterborne, fast-drying 1-component deep-penetrating primer. It is used on absorbent wall surfaces such as plasterboard, render, and skimmed surfaces to bind dust, regulate substrate porosity, and ensure excellent adhesion prior to applying Monostone XL or L.
πŸ“± Coverage & Drying Time:
β€’ Coverage: approx. 50–70 g/mΒ².
β€’ Drying Time: approx. 30–60 minutes (until the surface is completely dry).
β€’ Application Tool: Roll out using a microfiber roller.
⚠️ Important Information Before Starting:
β€’ Working Temperature: Material, substrate, and ambient air must be between +5 Β°C and +25 Β°C.
β€’ Mixing: The product is ready to use, but shake the bottle thoroughly before pouring into the paint tray.
β€’ Storage: Protect from freezing. Shelf life is 12 months in unopened packaging.
β€’ Working Life: Reseal the bottle tightly after dispensing the required amount.

1. Substrate Preparation & Setup

1.
Inspect the Substrate: The wall must be dry, sound, and clean from dust, joint compound residues, grease, and loose particles.
2.
Vacuuming: Vacuum the wall thoroughly to enable the primer to penetrate deeply into the substrate.

2. Application

Rolling the Primer
β€’ Application: Pour the primer into a paint tray and roll out an even, fully covering coat across the entire wall.
β€’ Avoid Puddles: Distribute the material evenly without runs or heavy overlap lines.
β€’ Drying Time: Allow to dry for approximately 30–60 minutes until the surface is completely dry and tack-free.

3. Next Steps

Select the guide for your next application step based on your chosen system:

πŸ›‘ Safety & Protective Equipment:
β€’ Wear nitrile rubber protective gloves while rolling.
β€’ Wear safety glasses to prevent splashes in the eyes.
β€’ Ensure adequate ventilation and keep out of reach of children.
⏱️ Drying Times & Tool Cleaning:
β€’ Drying Time Before Troweling: 30–60 minutes.
β€’ Cleaning: Wash roller, paint tray, and tools with clean water immediately after use.
