Surface Preparation:

 New Surfaces – Freshly plastered surfaces should be allowed to cure completely. Ensure the plaster is completely dry and thoroughly clean, free from any dust, flakes and dampness, etc.

 Previously painted surface – Previously repainted surface with algae growth require thorough cleaning. Use Apollo Paints Cleanex (Exterior Surface Cleaner) diluted with equal amount of water and apply with brush or roller, after 45 to 60 minutes wash with water, so that surface is completely free from algae or any other growth. If the surface has the tendency of repeated algae growth, use Apollo Paints Biowash Anti Algal/fungal solution, diluted with equal volume of water and apply on surface which will inhibit further growth of algae. Ensure that all water leakages/seepages are repaired before painting.

Filling:

 CRACKS: For filling cracks up to 3mm use Apollo’s InstaCare Crack Lock.
