FAQs
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is suitable for cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete. It can be used on both new and previously painted surfaces.
How long does it take to become rainproof?
The paint is rainproof in approximately 20 minutes after application.
Can I apply this paint in cold or damp weather?
Yes, one of the key benefits is its tolerance for damp and cold weather during application, which is unusual for masonry paints.

Ensure thorough stirring before use and apply evenly with a suitable brush or roller. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing proper drying time between coats.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. For porous surfaces, a primer or sealer like Pliocem Concrete Sealer may be required. Check for incompatible previous coatings.
Surface still looks patchy after one coat
Apply a second coat. Ensure consistent application thickness and allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is affected by rain shortly after application
While rainproof in 20 minutes, heavy downpours immediately after application may still cause issues. Ensure application is completed with sufficient time before expected heavy rain, or protect the area if possible.
Difficulty in application (too thick/thin)
Stir the paint thoroughly. If the paint is too thick due to cold conditions, consider a slight thinning with water (check manufacturer guidelines) or applying in warmer temperatures. Ensure the correct applicator is being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or any contaminants.

For previously painted surfaces, ensure adhesion by lightly abrading if necessary.
Application: Apply using a brush or roller suitable for masonry paints. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one or two coats as required, allowing adequate drying time between coats (check product for specific recoat times, but note the 20-minute rainproof time).
Compatibility: Suitable for cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete. Can be used on new or previously painted surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. The dried paint finish can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
