It forms a tough, water-resistant barrier for outdoor metalwork, timber and masonry where long-lasting protection is needed. Where to use it Metal: gates, railings, steelwork and general exterior metal protection Wood: fences, posts and outdoor timber Masonry: brickwork and concrete (exterior) Roofing and general weatherproofing applications (where bitumen coatings are suitable) Key benefits Tough, water-resistant finish for outdoor protection Helps protect against weathering on exposed surfaces Good adhesion to properly prepared substrates Easy to apply by brush (and suitable methods as required) How to apply (quick guide) Ensure the surface is clean, dry and sound. Remove dirt, grease and loose or flaking coatings. For metal, remove rust and loose paint; key smooth surfaces for better adhesion. Stir thoroughly.
