Valspar
Valspar makes paints, primers, and specialty coatings for residential projects. This brand collection covers the Valspar product currently ACTIVE at Project Weekend DIY: Concrete Bonding Primer (white gloss, gallon)—a water-based primer for interior and exterior bare concrete that improves adhesion before a porch and floor topcoat.
Per Valspar directions and the manufacturer product page: Concrete Bonding Primer penetrates and bonds to etched concrete and is ideal under Valspar Latex Porch & Floor Paint. It goes on white so coverage is visible during application, covers about 250 sq ft per gallon, and can be recoated in one hour at 77 °F and 50% relative humidity (dry to the touch about 1–4 hours). Apply when surface and air temperature are 50–90 °F. For bare concrete, Valspar directs cleaning, degreasing, and etching (including with Valspar Fast Prep) and allowing new concrete to cure at least 60 days before painting. Mix well before and during use; clean tools with warm, soapy water. Always follow the current Valspar label, PDS, and SDS for the SKU you buy.
