2. Use proper size applicator (dauber, brush, roller, swab) at least 1/2 the diameter of the pipe. Work into pipe in a scrubbing motion. Do not simply paint-on or wipe on/off with a rag. 3. Avoid puddling primer in joints and excess primer in bell end of pipe. Apply primer to female end first until totally wet and soft.
