Product Information

Not meaning to split hairs Kiab but surely the prep doesn't need to be "100%" or there would be no need to use lining paper However, once it’s rubbed the surface below is relatively solid. I am worried that if I paint the surface with sandtex it could bubble if I don’t stabilise. A fine polymer emulsion that deeply penetrate badly weathered surfaces suitable for use on chalky and dusty surfaces and areas were plaster and cement have started to become unstable. If this be the case then scrape off any loos paint, allow to dry out over a period of a few weeks and paint again. You may well find this is an ongoing process or it may be isolated to one or two problem areas.

Regular masonry paint is formulated to allow small levels of moisture to escape through evaporation. It’s important, therefore, to avoid the use of sealers or primers unless absolutely necessary.Realistically and with the right technique, materials and time, you can pretty much prepare any surface in poor condition and bring it up to a "like new" condition My Paint Guide is the UK's number 1 painting and decorating resource. We use our years of expertise to review thousands of paints and paint accessories to find you the best option for your project as well as offer simple-to-follow DIY guides. Just bear in mind that the stabilising solution will impair the breathability of the finishing coats so only apply to areas where it’s really necessary. This usually ensures that the walls have had sufficient time to dry-out in depth and that any loose material is washed away naturally when it rains. Along with using on chalky or dusty surfaces, stabiliser can also be used on surfaces with high absorption. Some render can be highly absorbent and slightly friable due to the type of sand and mix. So it’s the same as sealing a porous wall.

In such cases, I always recommend that the wall is left exposed to weather for at least 12 months prior to painting.With newly rendered surfaces, it is normal to have a certain level of dust and/or powder on the surface as a result of the drying-out process. When you have removed as much loose material as possible, treat the worst affected areas with a stabilising solution which will bind any reaming loose martial, presenting you with a solid surface on which to paint. Only do this on the very worst affected areas though.
