So I was at the hardware store the other day and hunting around for a better primer while I was supposed to be picking up a bath mat. I saw this product that is designed to go onto glass as a 'frosting'.

So if it has enough adhesion promoters to bond to glass that is subject to cold and hot changes and even condensation; then I figured it must be some amazingly adhesive paint. Plastic and PE are the worst surfaces to 'prime' because, like glass, they have little natural tooth among other things. Maybe this stuff would bond to plastic and PE like it does to glass...?
I got home and did some tests and sure as heck, it sticks like crazy to PE and plastic....far better than anything I've ever tested including Tamiya Fine surface, fusion for plastics, Krylon Matte(which is pretty awesome, but not like this), and auto primers. It has the added benefit of going on in a very fine, even way, leaving a slightly toothy surface. I've painted some of my acrylic paint onto this base and after some curing it is very solidly adhered. This is the best primer/paint combination I've yet found.
Every time the PE sticks to your tweezers, you lose a minute off your life.
