FAQs
What surfaces can I use Toupret Wall Hardener on?
It is suitable for interior and exterior surfaces such as plaster, cement, concrete, mortars, bricks, stone, porous tiles, whitewash, renderings, and wood.
How long does it take to dry?
It is ready to paint over in just 24 hours.
Do I need to sand the surface before applying the hardener?
If the surface is very smooth, it's recommended to lightly sand it to improve penetration. Otherwise, ensure the surface is clean and free of loose debris.
Can I apply it over existing paint?
You can apply it over distemper. However, ensure the existing paint is stable and adheres well to the substrate.
How should I apply the product?
Apply using a brush or roller, ensuring even coverage over the surface.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage rates will vary depending on the porosity of the substrate. It is best to consult the product label for specific details.
What should I do if the hardener spills?
Wipe up any spills immediately with water while the product is still wet. Dried hardener may be difficult to remove.
Can I use this product on wood?
Yes, it can be used on wood, but make sure the wood is porous and dry before application.
Troubleshooting
Hardener not penetrating the surface.
Ensure the surface is porous and dry. If the surface is too smooth, lightly sand it before application.
Coating or filler not adhering well after application.
Ensure the hardener has fully dried (24 hours) before applying the coating or filler. You may need to apply a second coat of hardener if the substrate is very porous.
Appearance of the surface after application is uneven.
Ensure even application of the hardener. Use a brush or roller designed for the product and apply in a consistent manner.
