Following preparation of substrates (as previously outlined) Murowash is applied as follows:

Apply two coats of Murowash directly from the tin to clean undercoated surface.

Typically Murowash is applied by Murobond brush in a random pattern, however application by roller is possible with opaque colours. This application involves applying the Murowash in full even coats by roller and laying the second coat off with a Murobond brush in random pattern. To check if your colour can be applied by roller contact Murobond technical phone 1800 199 299 or email info@murobond.com.au Allow a minimum of 12 hours between coats.

Coverage is approximately 10 sq.m per litre. Clean up with water. Thinning should be avoided.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Paint Application

Wet/dry lapping or re-touching may be evident and can be used to increase the level of colour variation. Expansion/control joints should be sealed before painting and should be finished with a compound which will accept ordinary water based paints. Murobond Primer may then be applied directly over these joints.

Colour & Tinting

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure colour consistency. It is recommended that sufficient material to complete the project be ordered where possible to eliminate possible colour variation. Where this is not practicable, sufficient material to complete an elevation should be ordered with any excess used as the first coat on the subsequent elevation.

Temperature

Murowash, Primer and Murobond Low Sheen should not be applied where surface or air temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C.

Initial Protection

Adequate protection should be provided against rain and sub-zero temperatures for a period of no less than 24 hours after application. Protection against mechanical abrasion should be provided for at least seven days after application. In colder temperatures (below 15°C) protect from rain for a minimum of 48 hours is advised.
