FAQ's

Q. Why use a Stabilising Solution?

A. If you have porous surfaces like bare or weathered masonry, cement render, or pebbledash, the Stabilising Solution stabilises and consolidates the surface. It deeply penetrates the substrate, binding loose or powdery materials together to prevent flaking or peeling. This ensures a stable foundation for subsequent paint or coatings. By reducing surface absorbency, it enhances adhesion of subsequent layers, promoting lasting paint adherence.

Q. How quickly does Sandtex Quick Dry Stabilising Solution dry?

A. Sandtex Quick Dry Stabilising Solution dries in just 1 hour, with the surface ready for topcoat application in 4 hours. This rapid drying time enables efficient completion of exterior projects. By sealing and providing a uniform texture, it facilitates even application of paint or coatings for a smooth and consistent finish.
