PROTEGO Smart Fibre Paint is economical and very easy to use. It is a water-based acrylic waterproofing solution with an 8 year guarantee that forms a strong barrier against water and moisture. It forms a membrane and withstands cracking and movement of the underlying substrate. PROTEGO Smart Fibre Paint is ideal for roofs, parapets, flashings, cement and walls. The Paint is available in a number of colours.

How to do :

1. Both new wood and previously treated surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly with Protego Cleaner. Loose pieces of old paint to be removed. Heavily weathered or damaged woodwork must be sanded or cleaned with Protego Deep Cleaner A & B (see instruction for this).
2. Hereafter, the wood must dry till it reaches max 15% humidity. Raised fibres are removed with sandpaper grit 120 if necessary. If you want a smooth surface, a de-nibbing can be done between coats. Do not use any silicone-based products. Treatment must be carried out during dry weather. Avoid direct sunlight and strong heat.
3. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. For softwood, strongly absorbing and weather-beaten surfaces, we recommend to prime the wood with Protego Primer. Alternatively dilute Exterior Paint with max 20% water. This will optimize absorbing and adherence properties of the wood. Apply the paint with a brush or a lacquer roller in an even covering layer. The surface is re-paintable after 4 hours at 20°C. During this period, the wood must not be exposed to water.
4. Second application must be done with undiluted paint in order to obtain maximum coverage. The material is touch dry after approximately 6 hours and completely dry after 24 hours.
