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.

Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
