Product Information

Full details

Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint is designed for homeowners and professional painters looking for a reliable, high-performance finish for exterior masonry walls. Its primary benefit lies in the Microseal technology, which offers superior protection against weathering, though users should be mindful that proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the paint adheres correctly to older or porous substrates.

FAQs

Can I apply this paint on top of existing masonry paint?

Yes, provided the existing coat is clean, sound, and firmly adhered to the substrate.

How long should I wait between coats?

Under normal conditions, allow 3 to 4 hours between coats, depending on humidity and temperature.

Is this paint suitable for damp walls?

No. The wall must be dry before application. This paint is breathable, but it cannot be applied over active moisture or wet masonry.

What is the approximate coverage of a 7.5L tub?

Coverage typically ranges from 10 to 12 square meters per litre, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.

Can I use a sprayer to apply this paint?

While it is designed for brush and roller application, it may be thinned slightly for spray use depending on the equipment specifications. Always test on a small area first.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely dry and free from dust, grease, or loose debris. Use a stiff brush to remove powdery deposits.

Visible brush or roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve suitable for masonry. Avoid over-spreading the paint and maintain a 'wet edge' while working.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is sound, clean, and free from loose paint, dirt, or organic growth. If the wall is chalky or powdery, apply a suitable stabilizing primer first. Use a high-quality exterior grade roller or brush for the best finish. When working, ensure ambient temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius and avoid painting during expected rain. Clean equipment immediately after use with soap and water. For long-term care, inspect the paintwork annually for damage caused by impact or structural shifts and perform touch-ups as needed to maintain the protective seal.
