Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering or peeling shortly after application.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material before painting. New or porous surfaces may require a suitable primer or a thinned first coat to aid adhesion.

Uneven colour or patchy finish.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overspreading or overworking, and always apply the recommended number of coats.

Mould or algae reappearing after painting.

While the paint resists new mould growth within the film, existing mould and algae must be fully removed and treated with a fungicidal wash *before* painting. Ensure proper surface preparation was followed.

Bubbling or blistering of the paint film.

This often occurs due to painting in direct sunlight on a hot surface, or on a damp surface. Apply when conditions are moderate and the surface is completely dry. Ensure good ventilation if applicable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, grease, or organic growth (mould, algae) using a stiff brush or appropriate cleaner. Treat stubborn mould with a fungicidal wash. Fill any cracks or holes with suitable exterior filler. For new, porous, or powdery surfaces, apply a suitable masonry primer/sealer or a thinned first coat of Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint (diluted with 1 part water to 5 parts paint).
  2. Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent colour and texture.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality masonry brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
  4. Conditions: Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or when rain is imminent.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Suitable for most sound, dry exterior masonry surfaces, including render, concrete, brickwork, and pebbledash.
  • Not Compatible With: Do not use on common or Fletton brickwork, or surfaces that are consistently damp.

Care

  • Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
  • Storage: Store the paint in a dry, frost-free environment, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
