Visual Magnetics ActiveWall commercial grade Micro-Iron Latex primer is a latex, water-based primer used to activate wall surfaces that will receive InvisiLock magnet. The primer is designed specifi cally for use in dynamic wall space applications with the Visual Magnetics Graphic System. Visual Magnetics 2-sided InvisiLock flexible roll magnet is applied over the ActiveWall primer coat allowing MagnaMedia to be layered and quickly changed. InvisiLock eliminates the need for using adhesives or other hardware that could damage the wall surface. ActiveWall surfaces can be overcoated with any color of interior wall paint while maintaining their magnetic receptive properties.

• Continue applying the second coat of primer across the whole surface as directed above.
• Allow final primer coat to dry for 2 hours when topcoating with latex paints. Allow fi nal primer coat to dry for 24 hours when top-coating with oil based paints.
