Truguard Smooth Masonry

A smooth, durable coating, which maintains and enhances the original texture of the underlying surface.

Transportation and storage

To avoid the risk of spillage, always store and transport in a secure upright position. Protect from frost.

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, under bound 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 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. Do not apply when air or surface temperatures are below 10°C, or when rain is imminent. Suitable for application by brush, roller, conventional and airless spray.

Cleaning

Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before cleaning. Clean equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposal of waste coatings. Do not empty product into drains or watercourses. Replace lid firmly.
