A quick-drying, high gloss quality emulsion ideal for use on exterior masonry. Its smooth gloss formulation discourages dirt retention whilst the added fungicide inhibits mould growth on the paint film. Dulux Trade Weathershield Smooth Masonry Gloss can be applied to surfaces previously painted with masonry paint, including solvent-based finishes. It is particularly suitable for use in changeable weather conditions and is shower resistant in only 30 minutes after application.
Allow all new surfaces to dry out completely. Wash down previously painted surfaces with a detergent solution to remove dirt, grease, chalking paint etc. where practicable. Rinse off with clean water and allow to dry. Carefully scrape back to a firm edge all areas of poorly adhering or defective coatings and rub down thoroughly to 'key and feather' broken edges of existing coatings.
The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Dulux Trade Weathershield Smooth Masonry Gloss, but on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be sufficient.
After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning with clean water.
