Content: Dip a paint roller into the primer 2 to 3 times. Start around 1 foot (0.30 m) from the bottom of the wall and about 6 inches (15 cm) from the corner. Aim your roll upwards at a small angle while applying light pressure. Once you reach 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) from the top of the wall, roll up and down while moving back to the corner. Continue moving from the floor to the top and always move ¾ the width of the roller so each stroke overlaps. Continue rolling until all of the bricks are covered. Put a few extra coats of primer on the areas that were affected by efflorescence. Wait for the primer to dry—the recommended drying time should be listed on the package—before moving on to the next step. Part 2
