Specifications

Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any substances that may affect adhesion before applying Sandtex Trade WB Quick Drying Stabilising Solution.

Repair any faults in the surface to prevent moisture penetration. Use Sandtex Ready Mixed Filler to smooth out minor defects. Remove all loose and flaking material by scraping or brushing with a stiff brush. Eliminate any signs of organic growth by brushing with a stiff-bristled brush and treating with Sandtex fungicidal wash or a suitable alternative. Clean away any loose material after application and ensure the surface is dry.

Application

We recommend testing the product on a small area to ensure compatibility. Avoid application if there is a risk of rain, if the air or surface temperature is likely to fall below 8°C, or if the relative humidity is above 80% during application or drying.

Sandtex Stabilising Solution is ready to use and should not be thinned or mixed with decorative materials. Apply a liberal coat with a brush and allow it to dry thoroughly before applying any topcoats.

FAQ's

Q. Why use a Stabilising Solution?

A. For porous surfaces such as bare or weathered masonry, cement render, or pebbledash, the Stabilising Solution stabilises and consolidates the surface. It penetrates the substrate, binding loose or powdery materials together, preventing flaking or peeling. This creates a solid base for paint or coating to adhere to, reducing surface absorbency and ensuring better adhesion of subsequent layers, resulting in a longer-lasting finish.

Q. How long does it take Sandtex Quick Dry Stabilising Solution to dry?

A. Sandtex Quick Dry Stabilising Solution dries in just 1 hour and the surface is ready for a topcoat in 4 hours, allowing for quick completion of exterior projects. By sealing the surface and providing a consistent texture, it helps paint or coating to spread evenly, achieving a smooth and uniform appearance.

Q. Does the Sandtex Quick Dry Stabilising Solution come in a smaller size?

A. Yes, we offer a Sandtex Retail Quick Dry Stabilising Solution in a 2.5-litre size, which covers approximately 25m². All our products are available for same-day dispatch and next working day delivery.
