Directions for Use

Surface Preparation:

Surfaces to be clean, sound and free of deleterious substances. Remove all laitance, oil, grease, paints, mould oil or curing compound from surfaces using wire brush, bush hammer, scabbler or other plant as appropriate. Previously coated surfaces will need to be stripped of the coatings except if the coating is a lime-based coating. Previous lime-based coatings will need to be dusted down using a stiff bristled brush or broom and rinsed with water to remove oxidized lime.

Priming:

No priming is required. Moisture issues can be treated with a waterproofing slurry such as MULTI HYSEAL 211, onto which MULTI LIME WASH can be applied.

Application:

Mix the MULTI LIME WASH well before use as settlement may have occurred. Wet down the walls well with water. While still damp, apply MULTI LIME WASH using a block brush. Apply in the same direction on the first coat, and then at right angles to that direction on the second coat to ensure uniform coverage. A third coat maybe necessary. Allow 2 hours between coats and 24 hours before exposure to water.

Equipment Care

All tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use. If delayed, equipment will need mechanical action to clean or be discarded.

Packing
