Use the 1" flat stiff bristle artist brush to press the Loxon Concrete & Masonry Primer into the crack and crevices of the mortar and brick. Then use a mini roller to cover the remaining surface area, ensuring that the primer is applied as evenly as possible. Priming is especially important when painting brick because the primer offers adhesion with alkali and efflorescence resistance for masonry surfaces.
Tip: Using a roller makes painting go faster and helps you apply primer evenly.
