PRIMER APPLICATION PROCEDURES

The following procedures should be followed for optimum primer performance.

  • Clean the surface with a brush and remove any dirt, debris, flashing, or concrete high points, which could keep ConSeal primer from adhering to the concrete.
    • A joint primer (i.e. CS-50 or CS-75) is to be applied to improve sealant adhesion. CS-50 is a solvent based primer that can be applied days or weeks in advance. CS-75 is a water based primer that dries tacky and must be applied at the time of the installation.
    • Allow the primer to dry before placing sealant. The primer will normally be dry to the touch (CS-50) or tacky (CS-75) within 15-20 minutes. (Note: CS-50 primer can be applied at the job site or at the plant several days in advance of the set.)
  • Applying CS-50: Do not use this material near an open flame or where the potential for a spark could ignite the vapors within the product. CS-50 can be applied to the area being primed using a standard paint brush or paint roller.
  • Applying CS-75: ConSeal CS-75 is an adhesive primer that dries tacky. It is water based and does not contain volatile or flammable components. Open the pail and apply the product using a standard paint brush or paint roller.
  • Applying CS-300: Do not use this material near an open flame or where the potential for a spark could ignite the vapors within the product. CS-50 can be applied to the area being primed using a standard paint brush or paint roller.
