Rustins Brick & Tile Matt Red Paint

Product: Quick Dry Brick & Tile Paint
Type: A high quality acrylic matt red paint.
Intended Use: For interior and exterior brickwork and tiles. (Refer to compatibility section below).
Special Features: Quick drying and pigmented with micronised red oxide to give good opacity and exterior durability.
Preparation: The bricks should be free from dust and contaminants. Brush the bricks with a wire brush to remove any existing finish, which may be flaking and to remove any loose particles and mortar. Fill cracks and repair damaged pointing. If the brickwork shows signs of efflorescence (white crystals on the surface), it must be removed by brushing or scraping. A coat of Alkali-resisting Primer must then be applied and allowed to dry before applying Rustins Quick Dry Brick & Tile Paint. No primer is required if fresh mortar has been applied to the pointing and if painting new brickwork. If applying to existing painted brick test for compatibility as if not compatible it may flake off or dry to a glossy finish.
Application: Use a large brush and apply evenly. Apply paint liberally, making sure the surface is covered completely.
Coats: 1 coat is usually sufficient. A second coat may be applied if required.
Drying Time: Approximately 30 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.
Re-coating Time: Approximately 4 hours
Application Temp: Ideally 15-25°C. Do not apply if rain imminent.
Coverage: 14 sq.metres per litre 1 coat.
Maintenance: The surface may be washed with a mild detergent solution and a scrubbing brush and re-coated if necessary.
Compatibility: May be applied over other paints but test for compatibility as the paint may dry glossy. Refer to manufacturer’s advice before applying paint to roofing tiles. Unsuitable for use over glazed tiles.
Settlement: STIR VERY WELL BEFORE AND DURING USE, or the product may dry with a satin or gloss finish.
Shelf-life/Storage: Many years if stored in original tightly closed container in normal conditions.
