Sandtex Trade High Cover Smooth Masonry Paint - Cream - 5L

For best results and maximum durability, two coats are recommended.

It is suitable for most sound, dry exterior masonry surfaces including rendering, roughcast, pebbledash, concrete, building blocks, facing bricks, and previously painted masonry.

This paint is not suitable for common or fletton type bricks.

Apply when the temperature is between 8°C (46°F) and 30°C (86°F) and when there is no risk of rain or frost during application and drying.

The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and ready for recoating in 3-5 hours.

For best performance, use the paint directly from the tin. If absolutely necessary, a *very small* amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may impact coverage and durability.

This paint offers up to 15 years of proven durability when applied correctly to a suitable surface.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, sound) and free from dust or contaminants before application. Check that the surface is not porous or chalking; if so, a suitable primer may be required.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply evenly, avoiding over-brushing or excessive roller marks. Ensure consistent application thickness.

Stir the paint vigorously. If still too thick, a *very small* amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect coverage and durability. For best results, use as is.

This is a high-opacity paint, but heavily textured or previously dark surfaces may require a second coat for full coverage. Ensure consistent application thickness in the first coat.
