Product Information
Full details
This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts dealing with unsightly damp stains on interior walls and ceilings. The Ronseal One Coat Damp Seal provides a permanent solution by actively blocking and sealing these stains, preventing them from showing through new paint or wallpaper. A key benefit is its ability to be applied directly to damp surfaces, saving time. However, it is crucial to ensure surfaces are not actively dripping wet before application.

FAQs
Can I use this on exterior walls?
No, Ronseal One Coat Damp Seal is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings only.
What is the drying time before I can paint?
The product is ready to be over-painted or wallpapered after 4 hours.
Can I apply this to a wet wall?
Yes, it can be applied to damp surfaces, but not to surfaces that are actively dripping wet.
Will this kill mould?
No, this product seals existing stains. For active mould growth, you should clean the area thoroughly with a mould remover first.
How do I clean my tools after use?

What size area can the 250ml tin cover?
The 250ml tin is designed for small, targeted areas of dampness. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the surface and the extent of the staining.
Can I paint over this with any type of paint?
It can be over-painted with standard water-based emulsion paints. For solvent-based paints, allow 24 hours drying time. It is also compatible with wallpaper.
Troubleshooting
Stain is still visible after application.
Ensure a thorough and even coat was applied. If the stain is very deep or extensive, a second coat may be required, ensuring the first coat is dry before applying the second.
Paint or wallpaper is not adhering to the sealed surface.
Verify that the Damp Seal was fully dry (at least 4 hours) before applying the topcoat. Ensure the surface was clean and free from dust before application of the topcoat.
Product is too thick to apply.
Stir the product thoroughly. It is not designed to be thinned.
