Wet primer for Acrylic Infills?

[jacquisu]

Hi, first of all I'm new to this site and I must say it's very useful so far! Ive been doing nails for about 5 years now after a private tuition course and I'm now taking a full NVQ course to get certificated.

My query is that I've just read in a text book that for acrylic infills you should apply the acrylic onto WET primer in the regrowth area. Is that right or am I going senile?

Thanks for your help, Jax

Yes... and no

Applying on wet primer can initially increase adhesion (slightly) however at the cost of microcracking and contaminating your application.

If applying over wet primer increases your adhesion noticeably... I would suggest that there are other areas of your prep that would need adhesion.

(in other words... I personally wouldn't do it )

Thanks a bunch for clearing that up, I shall carry on as normal then.

Read you profile by the way and was pleased to see a like minded person, although I haven't got to the jet setting award winning part of my life yet, all just a matter of time......
