The last time I did this job was 10 years ago. I had a supply of Textured Masonry Paint (Sandtex) which was magnolia matt and very thick. Towards the end of the job I had to buy more and without realising it bought smooth texture. This seemed thinner and not as good at filling cracks, it also left a shinier surface.
Now that I am looking for the paint I can only find Sandtex Fine Textured Masonry Paint.
I suspect this will be thin and will not give me the desired result.
Can anyone tell me if Sandtex still make a thicker Textured paint or is there something similar from another firm?
If I can only buy this smoother paint is there a technique for laying a thicker primer (masonry type) (if so what product do you suggest) on the areas of rendering which are worse, and then paint over with - say
- Fine Textured Sandtex.
I note that B&Q is doing a discount on Sandtex. Is the retail version of Fine Textured exactly the same as Trade version of Sandtex's "Fine Textured"?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
