    • EB is added to first coat of any water based paint - eliminates the need for time consuming, application of a separate coat of primer / or paint stabiliser.  Not For Clears - Only Paint. EB does not change the colour of the  paint.
      No point in painting walls etc if the paint blisters and peels of again - all that work and expense for nothing. When you use EB as part of your FIRST coat, you can rest assured that your paint will stay where you put it!

    Note: First coat means first coat of current painting job, irrespective of whether it is a new or previously painted wall.

    • Bonds water based paints to chalky, powdery or porous surfaces.  
    • Added to first coat (only) of interior emulsion over new plasterwork /skimcoat ensures paint does not peel off  
    • Improves hiding power and coverage  
    • Allows you to use masonry paints on wide range range of substrates for long life, no peel results… example wooden fencing – paint any colour, cladding, decking spindles, terracotta pots, paving slabs etc 
    • EB is a stir-in bonding additive, paint stabiliser for all water based paints, exterior and interior.  
    • Can be used on all surfaces and is especially suitable as a stabiliser, primer for unstable, chalky and powdery surfaces as well as for difficult surfaces such as glass, plastic, wood, varnished surfaces etc.  
    • Can be mixed into the first coat of paint or used neat. Most common mix ratio is 3 parts paint to 1 part EB but can be stronger for really bad surfaces. Example: 10L bucket of emulsion. Pour out 2.5L (1/4) into another bucket and replace it with 2.5 L of EB.. this tops up the 10L again but 1/4 of the contents is EB... 3:1 mix. Calculate that the 2.5L of paint you poured out earlier can be part of what you need for the second coat.

    • EB mixed into first coat of any water based paint, soaks deep into the substrate or grips to shiny surface and does away with the need for a separate coat of stabiliser... thereby saving you work and money.  
    • Increases paint hiding power - ensures even coverage and maximum adhesion between the first and second coat of paint.  
    • EB’s high solids maintains the inherent characteristics of the paint and increases paint coverage by up to 20%.  
    • Stops paint peeling from surfaces prone to same.  
    • Enables you apply water based paints to vast variety of substrates otherwise not possible without risk of peeling. Wood, MDF etc.   

    Application 

    • Always test for compatibility; for use in water based paints only. 
    • Make sure the surface is clean and free from grease; remove any flaky paint.  
    • Ratios of mix required. Basic rule is, the worse the substrate, the stronger the mix. Chalky walls, minimum of 4:1 (4 paint : 1 EB) Average flaky walls, 3:1, badly flaking wall 2:1 and in extreme cases use 1:1 or even neat. For non-masonry surfaces such as wooden fencing etc a 3:1 ration minimum in exterior quality masonry paints is recommended. Allow to dry for 24-48h.)  
    • Use E-B in first coat of (water based) paint only. 
    • After application of the EB/paint mix allow to dry aprox 4 hours. 
    • EB is added to first coat only. Apply second coat of paint without E-B.    

    Application tools : brush, roller, airless spray.

    Application temperature : 5°C to +35°C 

    Drying time : 2 to 4 h. 

    Recoating time : 4 h

    Clean up : Soap + Water (Brushes etc may need additional wash with white spirit) 

    EB is by far the most cost effective way of making any water based paint stick to a wide variety of substrates.

    By D Coen Painter Decorator Galway, EB

    By G McCormack Painter Decorator, EB

    “I use it all the time in masonry paints, guarantees grip and makes paint go a bit further also.”

    By R Toner Painter Decorator, EB

    “I used to use stabiliser on difficult exterior surfaces, but now I only use E-B because it saves me a lot of time applying a separate stabilising coat and it never lets me down. I tell all my friends about it also.” 

    By David Messitt Painter Decorator, EB

    “We had to paint a 30 year old unpainted plastered wall. This job would normally have required at least three good coats to cover properly but I got out in two when I added E-B to my first coat and 10% Floetrol to the second coat. Excellent.” 

    By E Doyle Painter Decorator, EB

    CLEANING STONE & CONCRETE

    CLEANING STONE & CONCRETE

    Net-Trol works great cleaning stone wall, granite, sandstone, etc

    Net-Trol will not remove old paint and severely ingrained stains but it will remove ordinary water borne / pollution Removing Rust streaks from Stone, Concrete, Brick etc.

    This is an easy one… Wet the streaked area, apply some Net-trol. Leave 10 minutes and give it a light scrub. Leave for another 20 minutes or sooner if stains are gone and rinse off. Job done.

    TIP: Apply some Owatrol Oil to the source of the rust which might be a broken bolt, an old steel bracket etc. Owatrol Oil will seal the rust and prevent reappearance for some time.

    Paint the metal afterwards for best results and add some Owatrol to the paint also. Insert pic of rust streaks on wall centre second down from top and can of Net-trol.

    Paint Peeling On Window Sills, Wall Cappings, Plinths etc.

    Paint Peeling On Window Sills, Wall Cappings, Plinths etc.

    Window sills and wall cappings are notorious for peeling paint problems.

    There is a perfect answer to this problem and it works every time.

    Remove all loose paint using a scraper / wire brush (best option – does not wet the sill) or even a power washer if you have one. If you use a power washer, keep the lance at a sharp angle to ‘scrape the paint off’ and make sure you allow several days to dry out before painting.

    You can paint the sills with either a water based masonry paint mixed with E-B (1 part E-B to 2 parts paint) or use any oil based paint mixed with Owatrol Oil (1 part Owatrol Oil to 2 parts paint or even 1 to 1 for a stronger mix) and that paint will stick like glue with no more peeling problems. The same applies to any paint peeling off masonry, stone, etc..
