FAQs

What is the purpose of this tester pot?

This tester pot allows you to test the Sandtex Somerset Pink Matt Masonry Paint to ensure the colour and finish meet your expectations before starting a larger project.

Can I use this tester pot on any surface?

This tester pot is designed for testing on exterior masonry surfaces like brick, concrete, and render.

How much area will the tester pot cover?

The 150ml pot is intended for testing purposes only and will cover a very small area. It's not sufficient for a complete wall.

What should I do if the colour doesn't match what I expected?

Re-evaluate the colour in different lighting conditions. Consider testing another colour or finish if the result is still unsatisfactory.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Refer to the drying time instructions provided on the tester pot label, as drying times can vary based on environmental conditions.

How do I prepare the surface before painting with the tester pot?

Clean the surface, remove loose particles, and ensure it's dry before application.

Where can I purchase a larger quantity of the paint?

You can purchase a larger container of Sandtex Microseal Somerset Pink Matt Masonry Paint - 5L Tub, which is a suitable size for a complete project.

Troubleshooting

Paint colour appears different after drying.

Ensure the test area has dried completely. Check the colour in different lighting conditions (daylight, shade). If the colour is still not as expected, re-evaluate your colour choice.

Paint does not adhere well to the surface.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free of any contaminants. Ensure previous paint is removed and the surface is suitable for exterior masonry paint.
