Surface Preparation

The substrate must be sufficiently dry and stable; clean thoroughly. In case of fungal growth: treat first with an adequate moss-preventing product. On porous substrates apply first a coat of Parafix or Pegafix / Paracem (25 / 75). On very smooth bricks, apply a first coat of Noxyde diluted with 25% water, or a coat of Pegalink. Impregnate old chalking paints, after cleaning, with a coat of Fixonal or Pegafix. For stain, graffiti blocking and/or very fast recoating on all substrates, for interior or exterior, use Zinsser primers Bulls Eye 123 or 123 Plus, or Cover-Stain. Fill up holes and seal joints or fissures with Elastofill. If necessary, fill with Pegaflex. Flat down and remove dust. Hereafter, apply 1 - 2 coats of Paracem.
