Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for optimal performance. Before application, ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose render, paint, or algae. Any necessary repairs to cracks or damaged mortar should be completed and allowed to cure. The product is suitable for use on brick, stone, concrete, and most porous masonry substrates.
Application:
- Stir the cream thoroughly before use.
- Apply using a brush or roller, working the cream well into the substrate. Apply generously to ensure deep penetration.
- The cream will appear white upon application but will dry to a clear, invisible finish. This drying process may take 24-72 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
- Avoid application in freezing conditions or when rain is imminent.
Care:
Once applied and fully cured, the treated surface requires minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning with water may be necessary to remove surface dirt, but harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners should be avoided to preserve the water-repellent treatment.
