What primer to use on wall?

[Phat]

i had a newly rendered wall which had been painted but then decided to roughly grind it back to prepare primer to for best adhesion to tile it, wife then changed her mind now to just paint the wall so now need to re render walls, what primer should i use???? The render took off only a mm more or less, still has paint … help please

Hi @Phat,

I enquired with the Dunlop technical team whether we should be using a primer, and they responded that it is not needed. Unlike a purely cement-based render, Dunlop 16kg Ready To Go Premix Render has polymer modifiers in it that allow it to bond to a variety of surfaces, including existing render and painted surfaces.

You might like to give them a call to discuss specifics on Ph: 1300 788 780. They can walk you through the process.
