Interior Brick Sealer & Dustproofer - Seal, Dustproof & Protect Interior Brick & Masonry (1 Litre)

Product Information

Store indoors in a cool dry place. Shelf life of Kingfi sher “Stone Sealer” is approximately 12 months from date of manufacture. Mildew and Mold: Mildew and mold are unsightly, smelly, and aggravating for allergies. Since a sealer will keep water out of the surface, mildew and mold are less likely to grow.

However, I can’t find any good advice (for the UK) of what to use to do about this. I don’t want the walls to be particularly glossy and shiny either.

That is a question we get asked often and generally it is more expensive than internal but does so much more and is not marketed as decorative but PROTECTIVE because remember, your walls outside get a hammering from the weather. If the surface to be treated is merely dusty, then vacuum thoroughly until all traces of dust are removed and proceed directly to application. If there is ingrained dirt, wash with clean warm water and only resort to the use of soap detergents if gentle scrubbing with nylon bristle brush and warm water is ineff ective. Allow to dry out before proceeding to application. 2. Application When using acrylic sealers, the sealer can darken the surface slightly as well as add some level of sheen or gloss, so it’s always best to first apply a little material in an obscure location to make sure it’s the look you’re after before you seal the entire surface. Acrylic sealers are the perfect solution for use on walls, but avoid using them on floors as they simply may not hold up to the rigorous wear and tear of daily foot traffic.

Also, a good quality sealer has a lot of great features that you can benefit from that you can’t find on the cheaper alternatives. Now that all of the loose bits and rough spots were removed, it was time to remove actual soil. We started this step of the process by laying drop cloths around our work area to protect our newly finished floors. Next we liberally sprayed a 4:1 ratio of Simple Green over small sections of chimney and allowed it to sit for a couple of minutes. Unit 1 stairs to lower level Take some PVA, commonly known as Unibond®, and add about the equivalent of half a coffee mug to water and mix it in very thoroughly. The water should now look like milk. After sealing your surface, use soapy water or mineral spirits to clean out the sealer from the pump sprayer. You may also want to read the manufacturer’s instructions for other cleaning tips. This may sound like a no-brainer, but you must factor in how much sealer you need. Some jobs will require multiple containers of sealer, while others will only need half a gallon.Remember that everyday living and breathing ensures that moisture is always generated within a home. It is therefore essential that all sealers allow this moisture to escape. Tools and equipment should be cleaned with warm soap and water immediately after use. DO NOT allow to dry before cleaning. HEALTH & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Any sealer you select should manage concrete dusting and prevent efflorescence, which is a powdery white substance that can appear on top or below surfaces. The more penetration power the sealer offers, the better it will be at preventing both of these issues.

There is another option which is cheating basically, but would cost less and if done correctly, no one would know the difference unless they went up and touched the wall. Standard delivery is always free except to the Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland & other UK offshore Islands. One specification to look out for is the VOC level. VOC stands for volatile organic compounds, and they are incredibly bad for your health and are regulated by law. Look for lower VOC levels because they will be less toxic and have lower fumes. After waiting about a day for the surface to dry, fill up the pump sprayer with your sealer of choice and spray it onto the material. Be sure to spread any runs or drips while they are wet with a paint roller. Allow the sealer to dry however long the instructions say before adding a second coat. Once the wall has been cleaned and given sufficient time to dry, you are ready to start the sealing process. When selecting a sealer for your wall, you want to choose a 100-percent acrylic sealer. I always recommend selecting one that has a volume of solids no less than 15 percent, such as Defy’s Acrylic Waterproofing Sealer (www.defyinfo.com). With lower-solids sealers (those with a solids level in the 10-percent range), you can have difficulty getting an attractive, even sheen and it may take additional coats of material to get the look you want.

The surface becomes darker and unattractive. Over time excess trapped moisture darkens the surface.
