It's not a bad idea if you want even coverage and good adhesion. It's also not a bad idea if you're spraying and helpers are just standing around!

Re: Backroll Primer?


never do.... does it make a difference? texture is very porous and will absorb w/out any runs anyways... can't seem where it would effect my final coat. Except to keep the help busy.

If the wall hasn't been dusted, you better backroll.
