Primer
Primer is a preparatory coating put on materials before painting; priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface.
AFM Safecoat Primecoat HPV New Wallboard is a premium quality, fast-curing, flat-finish primer that provides a superior prime coat over interior surfaces such as new gypsum wallboard and textured sheetrock. It equalizes the absorption rate of topcoat paints over a variety of surfaces with different porosities and helps to eliminate decorating problems over textured sheetrock and tape joints on the wallboard.
