Restorative Paint Softener - Acrylic Type

20 kg

A thixotropic gel for softening 'plasticised' masonry and emulsion paints, 'hammered finish' and some car paints.

Suitable for internal and external use, it is highly water-soluble.

Brush, roller or spray applied.

Dwell
The working temperature should ideally be between 6-25°C. Dwell time is normally in the range 2-8 hours. Higher temperature and thinner paint coatings require shorter time.

This 'top up' coat will absorb more quickly and the dwell time reduced to 1-3 hours
Typical Coverage
A thickness of 0.5mm equates to 0.5 Litre of softener per square metre
