Crown Trade PX3 All Purpose Primer is a solvent-based primer for interior and exterior use. It's perfect for sealing and stabilising surfaces with dry alkali properties, such as lime plaster, cement, and concrete. It's great for sealing stains, enhancing adhesion for materials like glass, ceramics, and hard plastics, as well as stabilising surfaces prone to powdering or chalking. It boasts exceptional stain-sealing abilities, making it suitable for a wide range of surfaces stained by smoke, crayons, tannins, water stains, and aerosols.

This product blocks stains by suspending them in the primer and will be completely covered up by the finishing product. They might be visible when dry, this is not a fault.
For the best results, ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free of dirt, dust and grease.
