Overview

Benjamin Moore Insl-X High Build Peel Bonding Primer is a high-performance water-based acrylic primer designed to smooth, seal and extend the life of weathered surfaces suffering from peeling, cracking, or chalking paint. Ideal for use on wood, masonry and galvanised metal, this problem-solving primer creates a strong, flexible bond that glues down the old coating and prevents peeling and future failures. Applying as a milky white colour to help with visibility on application, the High Build Peel Bonding Primer can be laid on thick, up to 0.5mm wet, to fill in the surface and create a smooth, uniform finish ready for topcoating. Fast-drying, it allows for topcoat application in just 2 hours, helping you move projects along faster.

Preparation

All surface areas to be painted should be clean, dry, sound and free of all dirt, grease, oils, waxes, mildew and any other surface contaminants that can cause paint failure.

• Dirt and chalk should be thoroughly removed by scrubbing with warm soapy water.
• Grease residue should be removed with a cleaner.
• Peel Bonding Primer PB-1100 works great over marginally prepared surfaces, however removing as much loose or peeling paint as practical will increase the longevity of the finish. For best results, remove loose, cracking and peeling paint from previously coated surfaces.
• Remove loose rust, mill scale, rust as well as dull glossy surfaces by lightly sanding.
• Remove sanding dust before application.
• Repair/replace any seriously damaged and/or delaminated surface areas.
• Lightly feather sand all rough paint edges to adjacent surface area.
• All glossy surface areas should be lightly sanded to effectively dull any existing sheen and create a more suitable surface for painting.
• Mildew – Surface areas affected by mildew should be thoroughly hand scrubbed with a soft to medium bristle scrub brush and a solution of one cup Tri-Sodium Phosphate or a nonammoniated detergent cleaner mixed with one part household bleach* and three parts warm water, per gallon solution. Allow solution to stand on the affected surface areas for approximately 10 – 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow 24 hours to dry. *Follow bleach manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of bleach solution.
• Stains – As a stain blocker, High Build Peel Bonding Primer will block rust stains and mild tannin stains. Two coats maybe required to seal difficult staining on tannin-rich wood.

Application

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

High Build Peel Bonding Primer applies easily with a quality brush, roller, airless or conventional spray methods.

For best results, it is recommended to apply by brush or roller application to effectively work primer into surface pores.

If applying by airless sprayer, it is recommended to use a unit with a minimum of 2,000 PSI of pressure with a 0.018 – 0.022 fluid spray tip. When applying by airless sprayer, it is recommended that the surface area should be back-rolled/brushed to insure proper adhesion, even application and effectively work primer into surface pores.

• Stir product thoroughly before using.
• It is important to maintain a wet edge during all methods of paint application by brushing or rolling into previously applied coating area.
• For a high-build application, apply at a spread rate of 80 sq. ft. per gallon, at 20 mils (wet film thickness).
• Apply when surface and ambient temperature are above 35 °F and below 90 °F. Avoid paint application outside when weather conditions are threatening, and late in the afternoon when there is a threat of moisture condensing on wet primer. Do not prime if surface temperature is within 5 °F of the dew point.
• It is recommended to topcoat with a water-based paint.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
