Have a really tricky surface to paint? Our Ultra Grip/Bonding Agent allows for Fusion™ to adhere to surfaces that are typically not for painting such as a lacquered surface, melamine, thermofoil or laminate. Non toxic, waterbased ultra grip that makes painting the impossible, possible! 

Times when primer is recommended:
There is only 2 reasons you would need to prime. For adhesion, or to block stains and wood tannis from coming through the paint film. 1. To block stains and wood tannins/bleed through apply Zinnser Shellac BIN primer. This is also recommended for knotty pine. Here’s a video on this https://youtu.be/aAvRz6gl6XE 2. For extra adhesion on shiny, slick surfaces like Thermofoil, Melamine, some laminates and very high gloss detailed carvings that can’t be scuff sanded to de-gloss : Ultra Grip allows you to paint the impossible, it acts like an ultra adhesive primer for those exceptional very difficult surfaces. Here’s a video on this https://youtu.be/6LBw9IWjCYE People often use a 'primer' undercoat to go from a dark colour to a light colour. This is not required, instead try using a transition colour like Sterling grey or our transition Transition to help cut down the number of required coats overall. Here is some more information on Transition https://youtu.be/nPVFc7TpETs These lighter mid-tone colours will act as a colour transitioning primer and make the switch to pure whites easier.

DIRECTIONS

How do I use Ultra Grip™?

You can apply Ultra Grip™ using a brush, a roller, an applicator pad, or a sponge. No matter what you apply with, be aware that Ultra Grip™ will hold texture and that texture can show through to the final layer of Fusion Mineral Paint. To avoid this, ensure you apply Ultra Grip™ in a very thin layer. The product is milky in the bottle, but should be clear when applied. Let it dry 12-24 hours before painting for best results, but you can paint after 2 hours of application.

When do I use Ultra Grip™?


Ultra Grip™ can be used to make the impossible possible. Use it on surfaces that you can’t sand, such as thermofoil or some laminates, or even really detailed surfaces that are too difficult to scuff. A good way to tell if you need Ultra Grip™ is to paint a test area with just Fusion. If the paint laces or beads, you likely need Ultra Grip™.



Will it dry clear?


Yes it will! This means that if you have a piece you want to distress to show the original finish, but it is too difficult to sand, you can use Ultra Grip™ with no worries.



Is
Ultra Grip™ a primer?

Ultra Grip™ is an adhesion primer, so it helps Fusion stick to slippery surfaces. It is not a transition primer, for painting over dark or bright colours. For that we recommend Sterling or another light grey. Ultra Grip™ will also not stop bleed through from tannins or rust. For that, we recommend Zinsser BIN shellac-based primer.
