Preparation
Allow all new surfaces to dry out completely before painting. Remove all loose or defective paint, and any powdery residues, by thorough brushing and scraping with a stiff fibre brush.
- Treat areas affected by mould, lichens, algae, or moss with Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash and allow to dry.
- Make good any minor surface defects. For larger holes or cracks, use a suitable sand and cement mix and allow to dry thoroughly.
- Surfaces that remain powdery, friable, or chalky after thorough preparation should be sealed with Armstead Trade Stabilising Primer.
- Do not seal sound new or bare surfaces with stabilising primer.
- Do not apply Armstead Trade Pliolite® Based Masonry Paint during wet or frosty weather. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contamination before application.
