FAQs
What surfaces can Bedec Extra Flex Masonry Paint be used on?
It is suitable for exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces. It can also be applied to previously painted surfaces after proper preparation.
How much does the paint stretch?
The paint can stretch up to 400%, which helps it to bridge fine cracks and move with the substrate.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage is approximately 9-11 square meters per litre per coat, but this can vary depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.
Can I apply this paint in cold weather?
It is best to avoid applying the paint in temperatures below 5°C. Ensure good drying conditions.
How do I clean my tools after use?
Clean application tools immediately after use with water.
Is this paint breathable?
Yes, it is microporous, meaning it allows moisture vapor to escape from the substrate while protecting against water ingress.
What preparation is needed for previously painted surfaces?
Ensure the existing paint is sound. Lightly abrade the surface and clean it thoroughly before application.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Check for the presence of dust, grease, or moisture. If applied over a glossy surface, ensure it was adequately abraded.
Visible brush marks or roller texture
Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Use appropriate application tools for the surface texture. Consider a spray application for the smoothest finish.
Paint is too thick to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary and permitted by the manufacturer, a small amount of water may be added for spray application, but avoid over-thinning.
Cracking observed after application
This is unlikely with this elastomeric paint if applied correctly. Ensure the paint was applied to a clean, dry surface and that adequate coats were applied according to instructions. Check for underlying substrate issues.
