EverBuild 406 Stabilising Solution 5 Litre

Product Information

Thin the fist coat so that it soaks into the surface but not so thin that is spatters everywhere. It depends on the quality of the paint how much water you should add but start with a small area first so you judge it. Using a stabiliser where not absolutely necessary can impede the performance of any subsequent coats because it isn’t ‘breathable’ and may keep any natural moisture trapped beneath the wall’s surface. Eventually I repainted with a water based masonry paint. Every year since then the paint has bubbled and I have had to scrape and repaint. You should also keep in mind the fact that some level of dust/powder on new surfaces is normal. It is recommended to leave the new surface exposed to weather for at least a year before applying any paint or stabilising solution to it. Unstable masonry can cause defects to your paint system. How Do You Use Stabilising Solution? Stabilising solution is a great product to use and will increase your walls’ durability whilst preparing them for future paintwork.

That's why so often in the trade damaged items, be it woodwork, walls, ceilings, etc, are simply over boarded with plasterboard or timber trims removed and replaced with new. It actually works out cheaper when compared to all the extra labour required to repair and prep these items With newly rendered surfaces, it is normal to have a certain level of dust and/or powder on the surface as a result of the drying-out process. You may find that this process removes a lot of the loose particles on the surface, presenting you with a solid surface which can easily be primed with a thineed solution of masonry paint. Now that you know all the essentials about applying stabilising solution to your exterior walls, there is only one question left: how do you choose the best product for maximum efficiency? We have some top recommendations for you, to make sure your paintwork will last as long as possible in pristine conditions.If you are looking for a general use exterior primer or stabiliser, a great option is Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3. For larger areas of filler I roughly smoothed over, then again used the paintbrush to texture and blend in the filler. Just scraping over with a knife will leave a smooth area which will show through the paint A stabilising solution & a primer serve the same purpose meaning there is no need to apply both a stabilising solution & a primer. When To Use A Primer Or Stabilising Solution

In such cases, I always recommend that the wall is left exposed to weather for at least 12 months prior to painting.This all costs a few quid (depending on area that needs skimming) but will give a great surface to then seal (mist coat) and paint onto I personally wouldn’t use it unless the sand was really loose or the render is brittle. I do know lots of painters that do use it for these reasons on new render – almost like a mist coat and also for some other reasons. But I believe this can affect the coverage. Realistically and with the right technique, materials and time, you can pretty much prepare any surface in poor condition and bring it up to a "like new" condition However, once it’s rubbed the surface below is relatively solid. I am worried that if I paint the surface with sandtex it could bubble if I don’t stabilise. A subject that crops up a lot on the topic of exterior wall paint is ‘Stabilising Solution’ or ‘Primer’.
