Product Details
- Sandtex Smooth Masonry Tester – Terracotta 150ml
- Introduction
- The Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint Tester Pot in Terracotta is an ideal small-size solution for homeowners and DIYers to sample their chosen colour and assess the finish before committing to a larger purchase. This 150ml tester pot features Sandtex’s renowned Microseal technology, which is specially designed to give exterior surfaces a highly durable, dirt-resistant, breathable, and waterproof finish. Perfect for use on various exterior surfaces like brick, render, pebbledash, and concrete, this Terracotta shade allows you to confidently test a warm, earthy tone that will achieve an ultra-smooth aesthetic finish on your home's facade.
- Key Features and Specifications
- This handy Masonry Paint Tester comes in a 150ml pot, containing the same high-quality formula as the full-sized product. The paint delivers an ultra-durable, smooth finish and is built for long-lasting external protection. The advanced Microseal technology ensures superior defence against the elements by resisting dirt and water ingress while allowing the surface to breathe. It is suitable for application with common tools like a brush, roller, or sprayer. The paint is practical for quick testing, becoming touch dry in 4 to 6 hours, though surfaces require a full 16 hours before a second coat or full application can begin.
- How to Use It
- Using the Masonry Paint Tester is simple and highly recommended for colour confirmation. Ensure the test area is representative of the main surface and is sound, clean, and dry before application. The product can be applied easily using a small brush or roller. Once applied, allow the paint to dry for 4–6 hours (touch dry time) before assessing the colour in natural light, as the shade may change slightly as it cures. For a complete colour evaluation, allow a full 16 hours before applying a potential second test coat or making a final decision on the colour.
- Advantages and Disadvantages
- The major advantage of the Tester Pot is the ability to confirm the Terracotta colour and Smooth Masonry Paint finish on your specific wall before purchasing large volumes, saving time and cost. The formula benefits from Microseal technology, offering superior dirt resistance and weatherproofing even in a small sample. A minor disadvantage is the recoat time; the 16-hour waiting period before re-application is longer than some quick-dry paints, meaning colour assessment requires patience.
- Delivery and Shipping
- We rely on dependable courier services such as Royal Mail, DPD Local, and EVRI for product delivery. Standard Delivery typically arrives within 2–3 working days, with Next-Day Delivery options available depending on current stock levels and your specific postcode. Please note that restrictions or additional charges may apply to certain delivery areas for liquid items.
- Safety, Compliance and Disclaimers
- It is essential to ensure adequate ventilation when working with the paint. Keep the product safely stored and securely out of the reach of all children and pets. When disposing of the empty container, please recycle it responsibly according to your local guidelines.
