What is Ultra Bond?
Quick Summary: Ultra Bond is a non-toxic, water-based adhesion promoter that allows Real Milk Paint to stick to slick, non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, and plastic. By mixing it directly into your first coat of paint, you create a high-strength bond that eliminates the need for heavy stripping of old finishes.
Real Milk Paint is famous for its incredible bond to raw wood, but what happens when you want to paint a vintage metal cabinet, a glass jar, or a dresser covered in a slick modern finish? Usually, the paint would bead up or peel away. Ultra Bond is the solution to this common refinishing hurdle.
As a specialized adhesion promoter, it expands the versatility of your paint, ensuring it grips firmly to surfaces that would otherwise be too slick to handle a traditional milk paint finish. It is the ultimate "secret weapon" for any DIYer looking to transform challenging materials without the sweat and tears of heavy stripping.
How Ultra Bond Works
Unlike a traditional spray primer that sits in a separate layer, Ultra Bond is a concentrated binder that works from within the paint itself. This unique approach ensures that your first coat of paint acts as a high-strength foundation for the rest of your project.
Refinishing Made Simple
If you are working with furniture that has existing lacquers, varnishes, or modern polyurethanes, this adhesion promoter is essential. It bridges the gap between the old finish and your new color, providing a professional-grade grip on:
- Metal and Glass: Perfect for upcycling decorative accents.
- Plastic and Melamine: Ideal for modern furniture and creative crafts.
- Finished Wood: Paint over old oil-based or water-based finishes with ease.
Key Benefits at a Glance:
- Superior Adhesion: Enables a permanent bond on non-porous and slick surfaces.
- Safe & Eco-Friendly: A water-based, non-toxic, and VOC-free formula with absolutely no odor.
- Easy to Use: No complex steps—simply mix it into your liquid milk paint for the first coat.
- Durable Foundation: Ensures your project stands the test of time without peeling.
A Healthier Way to Refinish
Many adhesion-promoting products on the market rely on harsh chemicals and overwhelming smells. Ultra Bond keeps your workspace comfortable and environmentally friendly. Because it is completely odorless and contains zero VOCs, you can use it indoors on any project, from a small craft to a large piece of cabinetry, without worrying about air quality.
Whether you are a professional refinisher or a weekend hobbyist, it provides the peace of mind that comes with using a safe, effective bonding agent.
Pro Tip: Ultra Bond is specifically designed to be mixed directly into your liquid milk paint for the first coat to create a high-strength bonding agent that grips firmly to the surface.
