How to Apply Indigo Water Thinnable Cement Primer – Gold Series

For best results, follow these preparation steps:

1. Surface Prep: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of grease, dust, and loose particles. New plaster must be cured for at least 4-6 weeks.
2. Sanding/Wire Brush: Lightly sand the surface with 180-grit sandpaper or use a wire brush for older surfaces to remove chalkiness.
3. Mixing (1:1 Ratio): Dilute Indigo Water Thinnable Cement Primer – Gold Series with clean water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir thoroughly to eliminate lumps.
4. Application: Apply one coat of the diluted primer using a brush or roller. Ensure even and complete coverage.
5. Drying & Next Step: Allow 4–6 hours to dry. You can then apply wall putty (if leveling is needed) or proceed directly to the first coat of your chosen emulsion.
