Painting Tips

SUBSTRATE:- Brick - Exterior

Description:- Clay formed by extrusion into required shape and then baked at very high temperatures to solidify. Cream coloured bricks may be affected by Vanadium staining (green) which must be sealed with SOLVER Line 4129 Wall-Sealer prior to painting.

Area of Use:- Exterior walls.

Substrate Preparation:- Mortar should be cured for at least 4 weeks. Structures must be dry and must be clean and free from dust, dirt, grease, oil, powdery mortar smears, or any other loose or friable matter. Make good any cracks or surface imperfections with appropriate filling and patching materials. Where unpainted surfaces have been allowed to weather, any mould or fungal growth must be killed and removed with SOLVER Line 4651 Sterilizing Wall-Wash used as directed.
