Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Prime only clean, dry, sound roofing; loose granules, dirt and chalk will compromise primer adhesion. Allow the primer to dry per the manufacturer's instructions before topcoating, and check pot life after opening. Pair with the matching TRI-BUILT coating system rather than mixing brands when a warranty or system approval is required.
Wear gloves and eye protection when opening and handling primer pails, and ensure adequate ventilation during application.
