PRE PAINTING STEPS

• 

  PLASTER : New masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure completely. It is recommended to allow 28 days as the curing time for new masonry surfaces. The roof must have positive slope/ drainage system to avoid water ponding at places.

• 

  CLEANING : Sand the application surface with 180 emery paper to remove dirt, dust, grease, loose flaking of paint, laitance etc. and wipe it clean.

• 

  REPAIRING : The substrate must be checked for its soundness using small hammer. All cracks at corner joints, channels and parapets should be properly treated.

• 

  FILLING FOR CRACKS : For filling cracks use recommended Crack Sealer. Bigger cracks, damaged portions and hollow areas must be repaired.
