Preparation
Wash or brush down to remove obvious dirt, grime or flaking paint. Allow to dry before treating. Cracks in excess of 0,5mm should be filled prior to treatment. Chemical treatment to kill moss growth with Kiwicare MOSSCLEAR is recommended before application. Brush off dead moss before waterproofing.
Mask off window glass and other areas that not to be treated. NO Leaks Masonry Sealer will etch glass.
Dilution rate - Mix 65ml per 1 litre clean water.
Application
The diluted solution can be applied with a brush, roller or spray. As a general guideline 5 litre of mixed material will treat up to 20 square metres. For very absorbent materials such as new blocks or mortar use 5 litres of mixed product to 10 square metres. To achieve maximum water repellency always apply the material until rundown occurs.
Paint
Surfaces treated with NO LEAKS MASONRY SEALER can be painted over, providing certain precautions are taken. Thin down water based paints as little as possible. Always use a good undercoat before applying oil based paints.
