If your putting the Caliwel on the OSB we recommend using the AFM Transitional Primer. For the Stud Framing you can us the transitional primer as well. WOOD � sand exposed areas to a fresh surface. Fill nail holes and other surface damage with wood filler or putty. Sand smooth. Then apply 2 coats of Caliwel If applying over oil-based or exterior paint, Prime with AFM Transitional Primer, then apply 2 coats of Caliwel. However, if applying over water-based interior paint, no primer is necessary. --------
