Meoded - Quartz Primer


Quartz Primer is a premium-quality, water-based, 100% acrylic, quick-drying textured primer. It is specially formulated to be the only primer used underneath all Meoded interior and exterior decorative plasters. Plasters are much heavier than paints, and need a primer with both high adhesion and the precise texture required to hold the plaster in place, both while working on the project and after it is completed.

The texture in Quartz Primer provides a uniform surface that speeds up the plaster application by drawing the plaster more consistently from the trowel.

Product Specification

Meoded Quartz Primer™ is a premium-quality, water-based, 100% acrylic, quick-drying textured primer. It is specially formulated to be the only primer used underneath all Meoded interior and exterior decorative plasters. Plasters are much
heavier than paints, and need a primer with both high adhesion and the precise texture required to hold the plaster in place, both while working on the project and after it is completed. The texture in Quartz Primer™ provides a uniform surface that
speeds up the plaster application by drawing the plaster more consistently from the trowel.

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be clean and free from wax, grease, oil, dirt, chalk, dust, mildew, etc., and not have any loose or peeling paint.

Interior New Surfaces: Prime the substrate with a PVA primer let it fully dry.

Interior and Exterior Existing Surfaces: Any glossy surfaces must be lightly sanded, dusted, then primed with a water-based multipurpose primer and let fully dry. Next, apply one coat of Quartz Primer™, and let it fully dry. Preparation of flat, non-glossy surfaces requires only the application of diluted Quartz Primer™.
Surfaces that are absorbing or had previous plaster, it is recommended to dilute the primer with up to 25% water.

Exterior Brown Coat: The surface should first be pressure washed to clean. When the surface is fully dry, apply Quartz Primer™ diluted up to 25% in water. Let dry for a minimum of 3 to 5 hours. Over a brown coat, use three (3) thin coats of any Meoded plasters to achieve a smooth, uniform surface.

APPLICATION

The primer can be brushed, rolled, or spray applied. Apply only when the surface and air temperatures are between 50°F and 95°F. Do not apply under high humidity or if rain is expected within 24 hours. Use a universal primer first when going over oil-based paint.
