Description
Fusion Ultra Grip (Bonding Agent) allows for Fusion™ to adhere to surfaces that are typically not for painting such as a lacquered surface, laminate, metal or glass.
This water based emulsion increases the adhesion of Fusion™ colours to glossy, hard to grip surfaces. Milky when wet, dries translucent with very good clarity. Test your methods and product combinations prior to applying in order to ensure desired effects.
For optimum adhesion, clean the surface to be painted with TSP and sand lightly to roughen the surface.
To use: Apply one coat. Allow to dry for 12 hours before applying subsequent coats of Fusion™ colours. Clean up with water.
NOTE: Ultra Grip is also perfect for mixing with Fusion’s Milk Paint products to add extra adhesion.
Here’s a great tutorial on using Ultra Grip:
FAQ – When Should I use Ultra Grip?
- Fusion’s Ultra Grip™ makes painting the impossible, possible! Its rarely needed as Fusion Mineral Paint adheres to most surfaces (glass, plastic, metal, wood and more) without any primer or Ultra Grip.
- Ultra Grip is normally used on Melamine, Laminate, Thermofoil and highly detailed high gloss areas that can’t be scuff sanded (eg. carved detailed flourishes).
- AN EASY TEST: To determine if you should use Ultra Grip, apply a small amount of paint to your surface. If you get “lacing”, paint separating or beading, this it a typical reaction when a surface is ‘resisting’ the paint.
- HOW TO USE ULTRA GRIP: apply a very thin coat of after you have cleaned your surface and scuff sanded where possible. Ultra Grip is a milky white colour, but dries clear. Allow to dry for 12 hours, then continue with your first coat of Fusion Mineral Paint.
- *IMPORTANT: Ultra grip should be applied using a very thin application as it easily holds texture. Fusion recommends a sponge for application or a microfibre roller or a fine quality brush with a very thin application. If you apply too thick, brush strokes or texture dry clear & undetected, but will then show through on your first coat of paint.
- Ultra grip comes in 500ml which covers approx 75sqft.
- If you have an already existing painted finish, you probably don’t need Ultra Grip. Fusion works well on previously finished surfaces with proper prep. A good clean with Fusion’s TSP and a good scuff with sandpaper is normally all you need for good adhesion.
