All surfaces must be sound, suitably dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of Sandtex Masonry Paint.

• Remove all loose, and failing or suspect material by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush (not wire) to a sound edge
• Organic growth must be removed and the affected areas treated with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
• For surfaces in poor condition, mechanical means may be necessary e.g. pressure washing between 1500-2000 psi (102-136 bar), proprietary paint removal system, wet or dry grit blasting
• Care must be taken not to damage the underlying surface
• Fill any cracks and small defects in masonry surfaces with a suitable filler
• Stabilise all bare, filled, porous and previously decorated chalking areas with an application of a suitable stabilising solution
• Wash any soundly adhering gloss painted surfaces with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove any contaminants
• Wet abrade to provide a key, then rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all residues and allow to dry
