UNDERCOAT: CLEAR BONDING PRIMER

from $19.99

Clear Bonding Primer + Sealer

Our Clear Bonding Primer is a fast-dry, multi-surface transparent primer designed to prepare surfaces without dramatically changing their existing color. Ideal for projects where you need added adhesion, surface sealing, or a more stable foundation before painting with Mélange.

This water-based primer is especially useful for same-color repaints, porous surfaces, chalky finishes, raw or worn areas, and tricky substrates that need a little extra grip before paint. It dries to a transparent flat finish, helping preserve the character of the surface underneath while creating a more reliable base for your finish coat.

Clear Bonding Primer may be used over unpainted surfaces, water-based paints, and oil-based paints. It is suitable for sealing wood and porous surfaces, and offers some stain-blocking properties. However, it may not block stubborn tannins. For tannin blocking, please use our Stain Blocking & Adhesion Primer.

Best used for:

Interior and exterior surfaces including drywall, plaster, wood, masonry, brick, galvanized metal, aluminum, architectural plastics, concrete, stucco, and previously painted surfaces.

Why we love it:

Clear Bonding Primer is a workhorse prep product for projects that need adhesion and sealing without the coverage or color shift of a traditional white primer. It helps bind chalky or porous surfaces, seal raw materials, and create a smoother path for your Mélange Morphose finish.

Highlights:

  • Fast-dry transparent bonding primer and sealer

  • Dries to the touch in approximately 30 minutes

  • Recoat in approximately 1 hour

  • Clear, flat transparent finish

  • Excellent adhesion on a wide range of surfaces

  • Helps bond chalky or porous surfaces

  • Ideal for same-color repainting

  • Can be used over unpainted surfaces, water-based paints, and oil-based paints

  • Suitable for sealing wood and porous surfaces

  • Offers some stain-blocking properties

  • For stubborn tannins, use Stain Blocking & Adhesion Primer

  • Interior and exterior use

  • Water-based formula with easy soap-and-water cleanup

  • Approximate coverage: 75 square feet per pint

  • Apply with brush, foam roller, or sprayer

For best results, apply Clear Bonding Primer to a clean, dry surface before painting with Mélange.
