About This Product

Cycle Interior Primer provides a practical, cost-effective primer for interior masonry and plaster surfaces. It seals porous surfaces and creates a uniform base for Cycle Interior Emulsion or Distemper topcoats — improving coverage and reducing the number of topcoats needed.

Alkali-resistant on fresh plaster, protecting topcoat adhesion during the critical early curing period.
