Hi,

I just bought some SLC and it says to use a Latex primer on porous surfaces.

I'm not sure what they mean by a Latex Primer.

I have PVA which I was hoping to use but do they mean something else?

Can anyone recommend a Latex Primer for this purpose?

Many thanks for any help.

You should use the Latex Primer recommended by the manufacturer of the SLC, essentially you should'nt mix brands so where ever you purchased the SLC should be able to supply the correct primer.
 
The thing is, I can't find any recommended primer.

The product is No Nonsense Pro 50 Floor Levelling Compound from Screwfix. I cannot find a No Nonsense Latex Primer.

Any other suggestions?

Have you called screwfix and asked their recommendation? Having looked at the website, as you say, it's all quite vague.

Yep, you second guessed me there!!!!!!!
 
Just for future reference for this product.

Had a reply from the technical helpline and I should use an SBR primer.

PVA should not be used.
