Watco Weatherguard is formulated to give an impermeable protective coating that will withstand extremes of temperature without softening or hardening. Extremely tough and flexible, it can be applied to almost all surfaces. The cured film will stretch up to twice its original surface area without detrimental effect and will cope with any movement caused by temperature change, settlement or flexing. Controlled vapour permeability minimises build-up of condensation and loss of film adhesion. Watco Weatherguard will reduce solar heat gain as it will reflect 85% of infra-red radiation.

Surface Preparation

The surface to which Watco Weatherguard is to be applied should be clean, dry and free of any loose material and contamination. Use a fungicide to remove any fungi, mildew or moss, etc. Scrape off any loose paint. Exisiting hard smooth, glossy paint should be lightly sanded to provide a key. Wash with a detergent solution, rinse with water and allow to dry. Make good any minor defects with an external filler or sand/cement mix.

Wooden Surfaces – All bare wooden surfaces should be clean and dry. Do not apply to door or window frames or previously painted wood, unless all traces of old paint has been removed.

Application

Do not stir, but blend in any thin liquid that may have appeared on the surface of the product.

Apply Watco Weatherguard by brush or roller in one direction at the rate of 4m2 per litre, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

Do not apply in damp, humid conditions or if rain is forecast within 24 hours, or at temperatures below 5°C.
