What happens here

Once all surfaces are scraped, sanded, and caulked, it's time to apply the primer. Pour the XIM Peel Bond latex-based primer into the 2.5-gallon bucket. Using the 3-inch brush, liberally apply primer to any bare wood, compromised siding, or areas where blistering paint was removed. Apply a first coat, allowing it to dry relatively quickly. The presenter recommends applying a second coat of primer to ensure maximum adhesion and protection. For large areas, back-brushing (applying primer with a brush before spraying paint) can be done prior to spraying the final paint coat for optimal coverage and finish.

Goal: Prime prepared surfaces to ensure proper paint adhesion

What they say

Hide

grab our peel bond primer. We did begin the application process of putting our primer on with a brush here. We apply primer to any bare wood, any compromised siding, any blistering. So, we're going to go along. We're going to apply the peel bond. And wherever we apply it, we actually apply two coats. It'll dry fairly quickly. And we apply a second coat. We also apply it under each lap of the siding here where there's blistering. So, we apply a liberal coat of primer under each lap. Once that's done, it's dried, then we actually back brush a coat of paint prior to actually spraying the paint on the siding. And this is the exterior prepping process when it comes to blistering and peeling paint that BNK painting goes
