Ghosting fix

[layiton]

Ran a bit short using monorex G00. Where its not thick enough (about 5 m2) bricks are ghosting thru. customer doesn't seem to bothered but id rather make it better if i could. Does anyone know about parex equalising products. Does it keep the same look? can you get exact colour matches? will it hide the ghosting? Thanks

parex equalising is piss poor, they match any colour but its like a painted effect, why cant you coat it in paraguard then no moisture will get through to cause ghosting.

stick a coat of acrylic over the lot and in future put lanko latex in your first pass

bit drastic that, just coat it in transparent paraguard, job done.

surely if its TRANSPARENT the ghosting will still show through!!!!!

I presume the ghosting is from putting the gear on to thin and rain hitting the render, and it pulling through on the mortar joints. if your coating the wall no moisture is absorbed into it.

It only ghosts because of the suction on the mortar joints ? Well thats what i always thought

Yeah that seems to be the case. Like i said was running short so its to thin really. The sun didn't help either. So Owls you wouldn't recommend the parex equalising paint? Whats wrong with it mate? Anyone know of a decent product which doesn't change the mono look to much? Thanks people.

the equalising paint , is just that -paint, its the same colour but you get a sheen to it. a cheaper option than equalling paint is to use a firm called rend-it they match any colour with a similar product to parexs option , but it still dosent get the same

I did a job recently using their penetrating acrylic, they colour match.

The Krend was tired and cracked, with filled the cracks, removed algae and then painted 2 coats (I think you only need one usually).

It looked amazing, brand new and you could not tell there was paint on it.
