If you’re looking to sand Nason Epoxy Primer, there are a few things you need to know. First off, this type of epoxy is designed to be sanded, but it has a tendency to crack if the surface isn’t prepared properly.
It’s important that the surface be smooth and free of any defects before applying the epoxy primer.
So what happens when you have prepared your surface properly and still get cracking? The best way to deal with it is by simply covering up these small cracks using another layer of epoxy primer.
This will help prevent any further damage while also adding strength to your paint job when it dries!
How long should epoxy primer dry before top coat?
The cure time of epoxy primer will vary depending on the temperature and humidity. The best way to know how long your epoxy primer will take to cure is by reading the label on the can.
If there is no information about cure times, you should contact the manufacturer for more details about specific products.
If you are using an epoxy primer with a mild solvent, it could take up to 72 hours at room temperature and humidity before it is fully cured.
On the other hand, if you are using an epoxy primer with no solvents or low-solvent content in it then it may only take 24 hours at room temperature and humidity before they are fully dry.
It’s important to keep in mind that these times are estimates only because many factors contribute to how long an object takes to dry properly (including airflow) so always check before applying any top coats over newly applied paints or coatings

Can epoxy primer be sanded?
The short answer is yes, you can sand epoxy primer. But there are a few things to keep in mind before you get started:
- Epoxy primer can be sanded after 2-3 days.
- Epoxy primer can be sanded within 2-3 days (if you don’t wait too long).
- It’s generally recommended that epoxy primer not be sanded until it’s fully cured (which takes 1 day), but if you’re in a pinch, it can withstand some scuffing before then. Just keep an eye on how your project is holding up and stop when you notice any cracking or peeling.
Can I sand sealer primer?
Yes, you can sand sealer primer. This is a good step to take as you will be able to smooth any imperfections in the surface, making it easier for your top coat to lay out flat. You should wait at least 24 hours after sealing before sanding the surface.
However, if you are going to spray paint directly over your sealer primer then we recommend waiting at least 48 hours before doing so.
We also recommend adding an additional layer of stain protection on top of your newly sealed or freshly painted surface by using our Nason TopCoat Epoxy Clear Sealer 2K urethane coating products (available below).
How long after epoxy primer can you sand?
You can sand epoxy primer after it has cured for at least 24 hours. You can also sand epoxy primer after it has cured for at least 48 hours, if necessary, but no longer than 72 hours.
Can you spray base coat over epoxy primer?
Yes, you can spray base coat over epoxy primer.
The best thing about spraying a combination of epoxy primer and base coat is that it will not only bond to the epoxy primer but also stick well to it as well. This is because the solvent used in most topcoats are compatible with each other.
Can you paint directly to epoxy primer?
Yes, you can paint directly with epoxy primer. However, it is a good idea to wait for the epoxy primer to dry completely before applying any paint.
It is also important that you sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper before painting so that there are no scratches on your freshly primed surface.
You can use the same paint that you would use on the surface itself (for example, Rustoleum or Krylon spray paint).
Can you sand epoxy paint?
Yes, you can sand epoxy paint. It’s not the most ideal method, but it can be done.
When you’re applying epoxy primer to your walls, it’s important to keep in mind that this coating will provide a durable and smooth surface for painting on top of it.
If you don’t remove all the bumps and ridges from your walls before applying epoxy primer, those imperfections will show through when dry and could ultimately ruin your paint job down the road.
That said, if you have already applied a coat of paint over top of your wall substrate (whether that be plaster or drywall), there are steps you can take to make sure those ridges are smoothed out before they become visible through subsequent coats of paint.
Can I sand Nason sealer?
Yes. Nason sealer is designed to be sanded. You can use 120-grit or finer, but you should let the primer cure for at least 4 hours before sanding.
This will help prevent dust in your finished paint job and give you a smoother finish on your project.
After you’ve sanded down to a smooth surface, clean off any dust with a tack cloth before applying another coat of primer or topcoat paint.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Nason epoxy primer is definitely a great product to paint over. It’s easy to apply and can be sanded smooth if you need to make any repairs or touch-ups later on down the road.
But don’t forget, there are other types of primer available too!
