Leyland Trade Truguard Smooth Masonry Paint

Description

Leyland Trade Truguard Smooth Masonry Paint is a smooth, durable coating, which maintains and enhances the original texture of the underlying surface. Suitable for most exterior masonry surfaces, offering excellent resistance to the accumulation of dirt, protecting against weathering and atmospheric pollution. The anti-carbonation properties also resist the ingress of carbon dioxide from car exhaust fumes and prevent deterioration of concrete and steel.

Preparation

• Ensure surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease.
• Treat any mould or lichen with Sterilisation Wash as directed.
• Truguard Smooth Masonry can be applied directly over bare and previously painted surfaces provided these are clean, sound and firm.
• Chalky, underbound surfaces should be scraped, dry brushed and then given a coat of Truguard Stabilising Masonry Primer.
• Remove any limewash or distemper completely.
• Wear a suitable face mask if creating dust.
• Before applying Truguard Stabilising Masonry Primer to the whole surface, first carry out a test application to a small area. If this dries to a glossy film, thin with one part of White Spirit to two parts of Truguard Stabilising Masonry Primer and then test again in another small area.
• It is important to ensure that a non-glossy, dried, sealed surface is produced.

Application

• Stir Leyland Trade Truguard Smooth Masonry Paint well before use.
• Do not thin, except for absorbent surfaces, when a small quantity of clean water may be added.
• Apply two full coats, allowing 4-6 hours between coats under normal drying conditions.

• Suitable for application by brush, roller, conventional and airless spray.
