Earthborn Isolating Primer is a water-based primer for blocking stains before further decoration with a suitable Earthborn paint topcoat. It contains a stain inhibitor which is perfect for treating stains caused by smoke, water, creosote, crayon, graffiti as well as general purpose staining caused by finger marks. Sealing these stains in keeps your painted project looking fresher for longer.

Please note: Earthborn Isolating Primer is designed to isolate such stains, so will not allow these areas to breathe. If breathability is required, this product is not suitable for such applications.
For the best results, all surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, dust, wax or other contamination.
- Remove any flaking or unsound paint from the area to be treated
- Where necessary, surfaces should be lightly sanded before application and all traces of sanding dust should be removed
- Remove any fungal growth or mould and treat with a suitable fungicidal cleaner
- When blocking stains caused by water or dampness, make sure the original cause has been rectified before treatment
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish, including topcoat. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. This product should not be thinned as this will impair its performance.
- Stir the tin thoroughly before and periodically during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Apply liberally and evenly with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush or roller
- Generally speaking 1 coat is sufficient, although with severe stains 2 coats may be required
- Allow the first coat to dry properly for 4 hours before applying a second and 4 hours before applying a suitable topcoat
Once dry, surfaces treated with Earthborn Isolating Primer can be treated with a suitable topcoat, such as Earthborn Claypaint, Earthborn Eco Chic Paint, Earthborn Eggshell No. 17 and Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion.
