ASK AN EXPERT
|
Q: The Masonry paint I applied this morning has washed off in the first rain shower after I finished, why?
A: This is a water based material and if the paint film hasn't had time to fully cure before the rain shower, the rain would
soften & thin the coating causing it to wash away. Water based coatings dry mainly by evaporation of the water content. Cold, humid conditions & low temperatures (10 deg C
& below) can prevent the paint from drying so it shouldn't be applied during these conditions or just before they are expected. If there is any doubt about the conditions at the
time of application use Pliolite Masonry finish which is rain resistant within 20 minutes.
Q: My customer has been washing very stubborn dirty marks off walls that were recently painted with Vinyl Matt and says
the patches now look shiny what has happened?
A: This is not unusual with matt emulsion paints especially when very dirty and stubborn stains are being removed. The vigorous
rubbing action has resulted in some of the surface paint being removed and the surface has become burnished and polished. Matt is fine in most instances but in very high traffic areas
Soft Sheen, Silk or even Acrylic Eggshell could be used.
