Liquid Rubber Multipurpose Primer for Concrete, Wood, Metal, 1 Gallon

Sticks well

Yes it met all expectation. Easy to apply and used as directed no issues.

Expensive but worth the money. Highly recommended.

This product, followed by the polyurethane, sanded coating supplied by the same company, applied perfectly based on instructions, failed in less than a year! The price was six times the cost of 5/4 by 4“ clear cedar decking. That is not even counting the 5/4 inch tongue and groove plywood, but literally just the liquid rubber products, six times the cost of cedar!

This primer is thin like water and is clear so it leaves a shine on the deck. Should soak into the wood better.

There seems to be some reviews here for the liquid rubber, when this is supposed to be about the PRIMER you put down before the liquid rubber. This primer is the bonding agent between the liquid rubber and the material you’re applying it to you. Do not skip this step. This review is for the PRIMER: I ordered a gallon (128 ounces), for my project(267 square feet) and I ended up only using about 1/3 of it. This product reminds me of non-fat milk, and is just as runny (but dries clear). This is NOT thick! My project was to refinish a balcony area that already had some sort of product very similar to the liquid rubber. I used a pressure washer one day, then a few days later I used a blower to make sure there wasn’t any dust. I live near the Seattle area and did this project in early September. I used blue painters tape to mask off all surrounding areas. I used a level on its side and a pencil to draw lines on the posts because I wanted to make sure the bottom one inch of the posts were sealed as well (I recommend taking off the blue painters tape within 12 hours of applying the liquid rubber. I took mine off after around 4 hours because it was already dry). I used a regular paint brush to edge in everywhere as thick as I could, which is pretty hard with this being so runny. I applied 2 coats, the second one hour after the first because it dried pretty quick in 70 degree direct sunlight. Then I used a 3/8 nap roller to apply two coats over the rest of the area. This product does not really have an odor. I was able to rinse out the brush for use again. I applied this in the morning because I wanted to apply the liquid rubber the same day. The instructions say to apply the liquid rubber within 24 hours of using the primer, and before the night if dew is forecasted overnight. I would recommend doing this project during the summer time. See my review for the liquid rubber.

Very easy to use and gives great looking results. Surface must be clean but you don't have to use Liquid Rubber's etching solution as there are many etching solutions available that do the same thing for much less. It just has to be a concrete etching solution. It's important to understand that you are applying the material in multiple coats to reach a final thickness. When you determine the square footage then check the specs to see how much material to buy, that amount is what you need to reach the final thickness required. Just put it on until you run out. Put it on as thick as you can with a roller and that's it. You need the weather to cooperate - you cannot have any overnight dew or mist etc. while applying the product and the manufacturer states that you should not apply in direct sun. Almost impossible conditions to meet. I got lucky and had no overnight moisture but had to apply in some direct sun but had no problems. I cannot speak for longevity of this product as I just applied a month ago.

Goes on quite easily, roller would work fine. I used brush to get between spaces on deck boards. Hardest part is opening the container.....the stuff has lower viscosity than water i think and the package involves putting a sealing tape around thelid......10 minute job to get off

good

I purchased this product to make sure my work on a cement porch remained in good condition for a long time. This is multi purpose primer is watery so easy to spread onto the surface with a brush or roller etc. It gets into all the cracks. I had to wait until weather cooperated, first way too hot and high humidity or it affects dry time. I washed and scrubbed my porch to remove flaking paint and let that dry. Then applied a good coating of the primer and let it dry well. The next day applied my new coating of paint and it looks great again. I should have had this product to begin with but thought it was not needed. I was wrong on cement! I could have saved myself a lot of work. Clean up is very easy, soap and water while it is wet even on clothes. The 3.79 L will do a 200 sq. ft. I will definitely buy this product again for future projects.

Hard work to paint the pond but we'll worth it

This is an awesome product. Definitely wear gloves and have a drop sheet for the primer. If you have hairy arms, the primer sucks. lol But on the deck the primer all me looked good enough by itself. We got a large container of saddle brown costing and a gallon of cool foot deck costing for the walking surfaces. Our deck is new and has some knots and splits in it. This stuff helped seal it all up. I found for knots you needed to swirl the brush around it to make sure you get it all. Also same technique for the sides that were a touch rough. 5 stars all the way.
