Rustins quick dry masonry paint is a quick drying high performance paint that dries to a smooth matt finish. For interior and exterior use on masonry applications such as walls, cement, stone, tiles and bricks. Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and contaminants likely to affect adhesion. Remove any existing finish, which may be flaking and remove any loose particles and mortar. Fill cracks and repair damaged pointing. Surfaces showing signs of efflorescence should be brushed down and a coat of Alkali resisting Primer must then be applied and allowed to dry before applying Rustins Masonry Paint. No Primer is required if fresh mortar has been applied to the pointing and if painting new brick work. If applying to existing painted surfaces test for compatibility as if not compatible it may flake off. Do not apply to areas where there is persistent damp.
