Bedec Extra Flex Elastomeric Masonry Paint - Black - 5L

This paint is ideal for exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces. It can also be applied to previously painted surfaces if properly prepared.

The paint is self-priming, meaning it can often be applied directly to the prepared surface. However, on very chalky or unstable surfaces, a dedicated primer might offer enhanced adhesion.

Coverage is approximately 9-11 square meters per litre per coat, depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

It is best to apply the paint in dry conditions, away from frost. Avoid painting when temperatures are below 5°C or likely to fall below this overnight.

As this is a water-based paint, clean your tools with water immediately after use.

Elastomeric means the paint has a high degree of elasticity. It can stretch significantly (up to 400%) without cracking, allowing it to bridge existing hairline cracks and accommodate the natural movement of buildings.

This product is specifically designed for exterior masonry and may not be suitable or provide the desired finish for interior applications.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Remove any loose or flaking paint and reapply. Check for excessive moisture in the substrate.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller passes. Avoid applying in windy or very hot conditions which can cause uneven drying.

This may occur on highly porous surfaces. Ensure adequate coats have been applied. For very porous surfaces, consider a dedicated primer first, though the product is self-priming.

While the paint bridges hairline cracks, deeper or wider cracks may require filling with a suitable masonry filler before painting for a completely smooth finish.
