FAQs

Can I use this product outdoors?

This product is specifically designed for interior surfaces only. It is not formulated for outdoor use.

How long does it take to dry?

The drying time can vary based on conditions, but it typically dries quickly, often allowing for recoating or painting within an hour. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying times.

Does the white satin finish need to be painted over?

While it provides a smooth, clean finish, it is designed as a primer and sealer. For best results and a uniform appearance, it is recommended to paint over it with your desired topcoat colour.

What types of surfaces can I use this on?

It can be used on most common interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.

How should I prepare a wall with mould before using this product?

You must first clean the mould thoroughly with a dedicated mould remover. Ensure the area is completely dry before applying the Stain & Damp Block.

Is this product suitable for covering nicotine stains?

Yes, this product is effective at blocking a wide range of stains, including smoke and nicotine discolouration.

What is the coverage of a 400ml can?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and the thickness of application. For typical stain blocking, a 400ml can should cover a moderate area; refer to the product's specific coverage guidelines if available.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is blocked

Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent, then rinse and reattach.

Uneven finish or drips

Ensure the can is held at the correct distance and moved in a steady, even motion during application. Apply in thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Smooth out any drips immediately if possible.

Stain is still visible after application

The stain may be particularly stubborn or the product may not have been applied in sufficient coats. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and apply additional thin coats until the stain is fully covered.

Product not adhering to the surface

The surface may not have been clean, dry, or free from grease/grime. Re-clean the area thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before reapplying.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface cleaning and preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for optimal results. Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For areas affected by mould or mildew, it is essential to clean the surface thoroughly with a suitable mould remover before applying the stain block. Test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes.

Application: Shake the can well before use. Hold the can upright and spray from a distance of 20-30 cm. Apply in thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats as per product instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most interior surfaces including walls and ceilings. It acts as a primer and sealer, making it compatible with most emulsion paints.

Care: Keep the can in a cool, dry place. After use, clean the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant is released.
