| David on 2019-09-10 21:56:01 | Question:
Is Thermoguard overpaintable with emulsion? I need to improve the rating of one area of ceiling and want it to look the same as the rest of the room. |
Answer:
Yes. Once the FULL Thermoguard system has been applied, this can be overcoated with your own water based emulsion as long as Thermoguard Flame Retardant Additive is added to your product of choice before use. | |
