Preparation

Always ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from anything that may affect adhesion.

• For porous surfaces, apply 1 coat of Sandtex Trade High Cover Smooth Masonry paint diluted with up to 40% clean water as a primer coat.
• Previously painted gloss surfaces will need to be abraded to provide a key.
• Loose or flaking material will need to be removed by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristled brush.
• Remove any organic growth by applying in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
• Any surfaces that are porous or chalking should be treated with prior to the application of Sandtex Trade High Cover Smooth Masonry paint.

Application

We always recommend performing a test patch to the surface to be decorated to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Stir well, always intermix packs in a larger container for colour consistency.
• For maximum durability apply two coats of Sandtex Trade High Cover Smooth Masonry paint, allowing 3-5 hours between each coat.
• Apply using a 4-inch brush, exterior roller or airless sprayer.
• Do not apply when there is a risk of rain, frost or if the temperature will fall below 8ºC during the application and drying period.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
