Question of the Day from: Ian of Ian Merrill Painting & Home Improvement, Whitman MA. ” I restore a lot of Historical homes in New England. Most projects would involve preparing & priming 90-100% of the surfaces. Too much area to cover just with a brush. MDP is very thick. Can I spray Mad Dog Primer to apply it?”
Answer: Yes, MDP is very Sprayable! Use a larger airless sprayer and experiment with tips ranging from 15 to 21 to get the spray pattern you need. Just remember to back brush or roll in the primer. Just spraying MDP is only 33% of the job. MDP and all coatings work best when there is a mechanical action pushing the primer into, around, and on top of the substrate.
Good Luck, Mad Dog
One Comment
I have sprayed Mad dog primer plenty of times on painting projects we have done here in San Diego. Its a great way to get a lot of area done or if you need to flood it on. But I also agree, you definitely need to back roll or brush.
