Removing silicate primer residue - professional tips | Hatoch

Successfully remove milky residues from silicate deep primer

When using silicate primer, milky residues may occasionally appear on the treated surface. These residues occur particularly often if the primer was applied too thickly or if the surface has chemically reacted with the silicate primer.

The proven solution: metal polish

Thanks to an observant user, we've discovered a particularly effective method: metal polish is excellent for removing these milky residues after cleaning with the deep primer remover <<Special>>. Proven products include Autosol, Sidol, or similar metal polishes from the hardware store.

Step-by-step instructions after cleaning with the deep primer remover

1. Preparation: Wear gloves and ensure adequate ventilation.
2. Application: Apply the metal polish to a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. Application: Work the polish into the affected areas using circular motions.
4. Leave on: Allow the polish to soak in for 2-3 minutes.
5. Final polishing: Polish the surface with a clean, dry cloth until all residues have completely disappeared.

Important safety instructions

• First, test the method in an inconspicuous area.
• Wear protective gloves during application.
• Ensure good ventilation of the room.
• For sensitive surfaces, please contact our customer service beforehand.
