Our Top 3 Stabilising Solution Recommendations

Just bear in mind that the stabilising solution will impair the breathability of the finishing coats so only apply to areas where it’s really necessary. Along with using on chalky or dusty surfaces, stabiliser can also be used on surfaces with high absorption. Some render can be highly absorbent and slightly friable due to the type of sand and mix. So it’s the same as sealing a porous wall. Stabilising solution should also be used when the surface breaks down easily and becomes loose and powdery (also known as chalking). This kind of wall defect is usually caused by weather (specifically wind and excess rain), which is inevitable for most exterior surfaces. This all costs a few quid (depending on area that needs skimming) but will give a great surface to then seal (mist coat) and paint onto

When you have removed as much loose material as possible, treat the worst affected areas with a stabilising solution which will bind any reaming loose martial, presenting you with a solid surface on which to paint. Only do this on the very worst affected areas though.

Always remember that applying some sort of exterior primer is one of the most important preparatory steps before applying any sort of paint. It provides both an increased quality and adhesion of paintwork, as well as protection to the wall itself. When Should You Use Stabilising Solution? Stabilising solution is a primer/sealer with the added quality of binding to chalking or friable surfaces and making them less water-absorbent. It is highly penetrative, meaning it will help fill up any holes in porous surfaces, allowing you to apply a paint system without any issues. Now that you know all the essentials about applying stabilising solution to your exterior walls, there is only one question left: how do you choose the best product for maximum efficiency? We have some top recommendations for you, to make sure your paintwork will last as long as possible in pristine conditions. The Bond-It Stabilising Solution is also a great, ready-to-use product that will make sure to prepare your walls for paintwork. This product is incredibly versatile, as it works on a variety of surfaces including concrete, cement, plaster, plasterboard, renders, pebble dash and MDF. Keep in mind to apply this product only in dry weather, above 5°C. It’s not just exterior masonry that can benefit from stabilising solution. Fortunately, there are options for interior surfaces too.Normally, masonry walls can be primed with a thinned solution of water-based masonry paint. But, sometimes, the surface can be loose and/or powdery and this can cause problems. Before applying the solution, it is best to sand the surface with abrading paper to get rid of excess dust or paint flakes from past paintwork.

I plan to use Macpherson powerkote, hopefully three coats to give it a strong finish. Do you think the powerkote will be suitable to use? It will smooth out damaged areas but as I said, can't work total miracles hence some prep requires - how much depends on how bad the wall is, quality of paper and also your own standards and expectations Pebbledash isn’t a porous surface so you don’t need to stabilise it, especially if it’s new. For new pebbledash, treat it like you would fresh plaster: 1 mist coat followed by 2 top coats. I’ve just had my bungalow rendered and was wondering whether I need to stabilise it or not? Friable surfaces are one such example. You can tell a surface is friable by rubbing it with your hand: if it rubs away, then that is a sign it might need stabilising solution.Cure all root causes remove all moss & mould contamination by using a product such as Everbuild 404 Fungicidal Wash The builder has since sealed the outside but has advised using stabiliser on the render on the inside before painting to prevent anything coming through. I’ve read a lot of bad things about stabiliser so good idea or not? RD Hi there I am going to paint the exterior of my house but was wondering should I use a sealer/stabiliser before I paint ? The house is around 7 years old and has never been painted. I have sprayed all walls with all in one green algae remover & left it for about 3 days & then power washed it all off so the render is good. What do you think? PJ Painted a newly rendered wall last year and after allowing drying time, was also a bit dusty / sandy So in my knowledge if you are looking to keep your render breathable then select a masonry paint that is 2019-03-08T10:50:02+00:00

This usually ensures that the walls have had sufficient time to dry-out in depth and that any loose material is washed away naturally when it rains. I personally wouldn’t use it unless the sand was really loose or the render is brittle. I do know lots of painters that do use it for these reasons on new render – almost like a mist coat and also for some other reasons. But I believe this can affect the coverage. is very good, stripped off wall paper in several bedrooms here, paint underneath was distemper type paint, colour rubbed off on your hand if wet, also dusty, 406 sealed it perfectly for painting. Not meaning to split hairs Kiab but surely the prep doesn't need to be "100%" or there would be no need to use lining paper

Hi, May I suggest for optimum performance that you use TRADE products rather than the retail equivalents. If you are looking for a general use exterior primer or stabiliser, a great option is Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3. Thin the fist coat so that it soaks into the surface but not so thin that is spatters everywhere. It depends on the quality of the paint how much water you should add but start with a small area first so you judge it. A fine polymer emulsion that deeply penetrate badly weathered surfaces suitable for use on chalky and dusty surfaces and areas were plaster and cement have started to become unstable. Have you ever encountered lime paint on a ceiling? I’ve tried to roll the ceiling and it’s just pulling off in strips. Will a stabilising solution help? What Is Stabilising Solution?
