Acrylic primer on wood

Primers on wood and its main advantage is that it is able to penetrate deeply beneath the surface, thereby qualitatively and carefully bonding the material, not only on the top layer, but also deeper. Today we will figure out how to primer a tree, which is better to use.
In the video you can see different types of this material. After that, it will be possible to acquire and cover the surface with your own hands and not think that it will not stand idle for a long time.
When priming on a wood surface, a waterproof varnish film begins to appear, it is able to thoroughly and effectively protect the material from moisture, corrosion and decay, which is the most important thing. Speaking of consumables at the same time, you should know that it leaves much more slowly, and this seriously saves your money, which is nice.

Attention: Today, wood is considered the most common and well-known building material. The tree is famous for the fact that it cannot be replaced with other materials, despite the fact that the material can cause a lot of trouble, but the requirements for choosing a primer are high.

Choose a primer

How to prime a wooden surface (seePrimer wood - process features), now we will understand the details. This is a pretty important point. After all, not just the material will matter here, but also the place where this coating will be located.
In general, there are several types of basic types of primers that are ideal for wood, which means that you can always make the right choice:

Attention: First of all, we are talking about soluble materials, as a rule, they are usually diluted with warm water, there are also waterproof materials that are no less popular. Therefore, before buying, the instructions for use should be studied.

• If you decide to purchase soluble materials, then know that they are mainly intended to protect wood from corrosion, as for waterproof materials, then they are usually designed for maximum moisture repellent.
• In the event that the painted object is on the street, then the second option, of course, is the most relevant.

Modern primer is presented in a wide variety, which means that you can always make her the right choice:

Oil primer Oil soil	It is customary to use it on painted surfaces, it is applied in a single layer. There is a deep penetration primer for wood, its price is a bit more expensive, but it is preferable to take it.
Acrylic primer Acrylic primer	Acrylic primer for wood is a complete finishing material, which today is the most popular and in demand, it is customary to apply it in several layers, and after that you can apply the main, basic paint.

Attention: In general, you need to understand that speaking of priming in general, I want to note that this is the basis that is intended for applying this or that finishing material. Speaking about the cost of the primary primer, you should know that it is much lower comparing with the paint itself and other protective material.

Key selection criteria

To choose the right primer for a tree, you need to follow the important criteria for its selection, subtleties and features, and everything will turn out:

• Transparency is an important criterion for choosing a primer, remember that it is a clear primer that is particularly popular today, it is famous for not being able to limit the possibilities that apply to surface treatment in the future.
• Moreover, do not forget that it is she who is able to emphasize the texture of the tree beautifully and originally, adding to it originality and sophistication.By purchasing such a primer, you will notice that it is able to create a film, it, in turn, does not raise the pile, thereby protecting you from the need to sand the surface of the wood after application.

Of course, all this can not be appreciated, so in any case, you can see for yourself. Do not forget that an important component of any modern primer is an antiseptic (seeAntifungal primer - purpose and characteristics of the material), because you should be aware that it is its presence that allows you to qualitatively and thoroughly protect the tree from insects, so you should definitely consider this.

Attention: Some people claim that the primer can always be replaced with ordinary paint, which will include solvent. Remember that this is not so.

Types of primers for wood

Primers for wood can be divided into several types. Before buying, you need to choose the material that is suitable in your case.

Attention: Acrylic primer for wood, or any other, is selected primarily from the place of coverage. After all, it can also be located in a room with high humidity, so read the application options before making a purchase.

Priming goals and features

Now you are well aware of how to primer a tree before painting. But still, the question of choice has not been completely resolved, because I want to buy a primer that is really ideal for this or that work.

Priming

The main criteria that should not be forgotten:

• First of all, you must know exactly where the surface that you want to process is located, this is the main criterion and you should remember about it, in any case;
• You need to think about how much time you have to spend on such work;
• Of course, you need to understand in which particular conditions you will become involved in priming, painting, or opening with varnish.

These are the main criteria that must be studied before starting work, so do not forget about them:

• It is imperative to understand whether you will begin to perform work indoors, or whether you wish to do it outdoors. Remember that if the work is performed outdoors, this can adversely affect the adhesion of the primer, this also applies to the drying speed, so be sure to take this into account.
• Moreover, one must take into account the fact that if the humidity is high, the time to complete drying can seriously double, so this must be taken into account. That is why in this case, you need to use exclusively an acrylic primer.
• Moreover, it will be nice if you start priming the surface either in the morning or in the daytime, because in this way it will quickly dry out, since the temperature is higher. I would like to add that experts recommend choosing those primers that can boast of good water-repellent ability.

This must be taken into account not only at the time of painting, but also during operation, especially if you live in regions with significant rainfall.

Now you know exactly what needs to be done in order to choose the right primer for the tree, as you yourself noticed, there is nothing complicated in this work, which means that if you approach this issue properly, the result will definitely please.
