Use to waterproof any porous surface
Surfaces such as leather, chipboard, MDF, brick, render, stone, wood, plywood and
any other porous material can be waterproofed by saturating it with Owatrol oil.
Allows you paint over galvanised surfaces with no
paint peeling problems
Owatrol Oil makes oil based paints stick to
weathered galvanised steel. Scrape off any
loose material. Add 25% Owatrol to any oil
based paint - no more peeling!
Galvanised steel surfaces usually do not accept paint which means the paint usually
peels off after a relatively short time.
Reason is because fresh galvanised surfaces have a greasy, slimy residue on the
surface which paint cannot grip on to. Solution: Newly galvanised surfaces... Either,
leave exposed for a minimum of 12 months or, where immediate paint job is required;
wash thoroughly with cellulose thinners to remove the greasy deposits.
Afterwards, paint with about 25% of Owatrol oil in your first coat (metal primer or
even top coat is ok) for extra strong grip. Some people go straight for a finish with
25% Owatrol oil mixed in. For best results, apply a primer or undercoat with 25%
Owatrol oil mixed in followed by one or two top coats with about 10 to 15% Owatrol
Oil mixed into that.
Ideal solution for galvanised gates, balconies, steel sheeting, hay sheds, or any
galvanised surface.
