- Can I
use AquaSeche on all walls previously treated with the water
repellent?
- You
may be able to but you need to test a patch with water
first. If the water soaks in you can use AquaSeche.
- How
much will AquaSeche cover?
- Up to
120 m2 per pack (7.5 litres) - sprayed on. You will use
more if brushing or rollering.
- Why is
AquaSeche better than other water repellents?
-
AquaSeche not only waterproofs but also removes the
moisture from the surface. Other products do not do this
and they can only be applied to dry surfaces.
- Can I
buy AquaSeche in the shops?
- How
long will AquaSeche last?
- How
long before I can paint or wallpaper over AquaSeche?
- After
2 to 3 hours depending upon the temperature
- Will
AquaSeche trap water in the walls?
- No,
AquaSeche is microporous so the walls can "breathe" out
the water vapour.
- Why
spray AquaSeche - can I brush it on?
- Yes
but you will use more.
- What
precautions must I take when using AquaSeche?
- Do
not expose to naked flames or smoke whilst using. If using
indoors, good ventilation is essential. It is recommended
that a facemask and goggles are used. Protective gloves
are advisable. Keep AquaSeche away from children and pets.
Cured material is not hazardous.
- Will it
change the colour of my stonework or bricks?
-
Depending upon the original colour and porosity of the
surfaces, some darkening will be observed. Colour of
stonework will be enhanced.
- Is it
best to treat the outside or the inside walls?
- Using
AquaSeche indoors is often completely successful however
if treating small areas, the damp may simply move along
the wall and appear elsewhere. For complete, long-lasting
protection it is best to treat the outside. Normally only
the South and West facing walls will need treatment as
this is the direction of most wind-driven rain.
- What
are the best weather conditions to apply AquaSeche?
- Warm,
dry weather is obviously best however you should aim to
apply
when the temperature is
above 5o C and rain is not expected.
