The Ultimate Concrete Surface Prep System Saves Money and Time!
Perfect Primer is easily rolled on the floor. Then you can apply epoxy paints and coatings, concrete overlays, hardwood, tile or even carpet. It does prevent moisture from wicking through the surafce. If you need even more protection, in the Perfect Primer line there is another product called “Slab Tight”. This product reduces moisture vapor and bubbles in coatings from out gassing.

How To Apply Perfect Primer
The surface needs to be clean. If you have old carpet glue or mastics, be sure to scrape loose particles and brush or vacuum to a clean surface.
We do have a cleaner that is ideal for cleaning your floor. Best solution is to call us and discuss your flooring condition. We will recommend the best way to clean and prep your concrete floor.
Cracks should be filled. We do have a crack repair system that is ideal for application of Perfect Primer or Slab Tight.
If you have damaged concrete, we do recommend patching first. Spalled or rough areas will absorb a lot of product. The smoother the surface the less product you will need to apply.
How Long Before Applying Epoxy, Overlays, Hardwood or Carpet
We recommend 24-48 hours for best results. Since most projects need to move along daily, in most cases you can apply your flooring the day after application. In humid and moist areas you may want to allow for an extra day of dry time.
