Latents

I think thats how its spelt, anyway a recent mono job we did has a small scrape miss on one elevation and the client has picked up on this . The client is fine about it and I explained that if I were to scrape the area the patch would turn lighter. Conditions were poor that morning with it being a dark , wet day(excuses lol) and Im quite suprised this is the only one.
Question being is there a safe way to correct this at a later date?

Is it any good? Ive seen a couple of mono jobs painted and it takes something away from the product, to me anyway.

If it is a next day miss ,sometimes a small hard stiff brush brings it out ,that way i fine it does not go lighter

Cheers Keith, Its a good few days since now and solid as rock. Thought about a very light jet wash in a weeks time or so after fully curing. Good tip though for next day.

i have not done it but ,some say brick acid the area and that looses it ,but i don,t know mate

 

[Andy M]

Makes sense, a very diluted solution would probably break through it .

Would the acid not burn the pigment from the render??

We use diluted acid to remove bloom,but wash out with fresh water pretty much straight away, but leave it for any length of time and it will cause grain to blacken

2x1 with a nail in it just proud of the surface and tap away , might get away with , it just breaks the latenance

Brick acid may turn yellow pigments green if left on for to long.
