About 3-4 gallons of primer. Don't be stingy with it. Better primer coat improves your finish coat and primer is cheap.
Regular drywall primer.
"Drywall primer" -Yes, -it's called exactly that -right on the can !
Typically, two coats of primer should be applied on new drywall for best results.
For optimal coverage and adhesion on new drywall, it is recommended to apply two coats of primer.
Yes, you can use it....but what are you trying to do? The drywall primer is specifically designed to seal the drywall and make the surface uniform. You will not get any benefit from using it on top of a finish coat except for using it as a base coat for changing colors.
The best techniques for applying new drywall primer for a smooth and even finish include properly preparing the surface by sanding and cleaning it, using a high-quality primer, applying the primer evenly with a roller or brush in a consistent direction, and allowing sufficient drying time before applying additional coats or paint.
Yes it can. (but it's kind of expensive to use as primer ! )
PVA is a better primer for new drywall. Do you need it, not really. Any good latex primer will do the job just as well. I guess it really just depends on what you expect your primer to do. Cheap primers will seal the drywall, but not much more. I find bonding primers and pva primers will provide a much more solid platform for topcoats. They may cost more and be a little overkill, but they will provide you with layer of primer that will allow your topcoat to dry in even. You can also dry a high build primer, which is the product I prefer to use. They give you a great platform to work from, and since they are usually about 3 mils thicker that standard primer, they fill in a lost of voids in your wall. If you go with this kind of primer, it is best to spray it. You really can't achieve the mil build up you need from a brush and roller application. If you use the roller application, and are worried about really sealing the wall and filling voids, I would recommend two coats of primer.
Hello! Just a couple of guesses as to why the drywall compound is coming off the drywall while you are attempting to prime: First, is the compound totally cured; that is, is it hard and dry? Second, are you using a primer that is specifically designed for new drywall? Lastly, maybe too much paint, or even overworking the paint could saturate the compound, turning it back into a wet goop.
To effectively and efficiently repair drywall, start by cleaning the damaged area and removing any loose debris. Cut out the damaged section and replace it with a new piece of drywall. Secure the new piece in place with drywall screws and apply joint compound to fill in any gaps. Sand the area smooth and finish with primer and paint for a seamless repair.
Kilz 2 will work under wallpaper as a primer and sealer over new drywall, drywall repairs, or other surfaces. If you are using it as a sizing for your wallpaper, it will work, but is not as good as using a real wallpaper sizing.
To repair water damaged drywall effectively and efficiently, start by removing any wet or damaged sections of the drywall. Allow the area to dry completely before applying a coat of primer and then patching the damaged area with new drywall or joint compound. Sand the area smooth and finish with paint to match the surrounding wall.
