It is not enough to remove mossand mould without first killing it as any residual spores will simply growback underneath the new paint causing it to flake off.To treat, simply use a garden sprayer to apply Resene Moss & MouldKiller (D80). Wait a few hours for the solution to take effect andthoroughly scrub off.Step 2 – WashingThe purpose of washing is to remove contaminants, such as dirt, salt,mould residue (now it’s been killed), poorly adhered paint and chalkiness,from old painted surfaces.The most effective way is to use Resene Paint Prep and Housewash(D812) or if you are painting a roof, Resene Roof and Metal Wash (D88).Simply wet the area with fresh water and wash using a soft bristledbrush as you would a car. If you are preparing windows use a scouringpad or a 3M stripper pad. A short bristled scrubbing brush is ideal forunpainted concrete and plaster. Rinse clean with fresh water.Waterblasting is useful for hard surfaces, such as concrete and galvanisediron, particularly when paint layers need to be removed. However as acleaner it is less effective than Resene Paint Prep and Housewash (D812)and when used on timber can damage it.Waterblasting is not recommended for joinery.An alternative is to use a wire brush or stripper pad to remove flakingpaint from concrete particularly if only small areas are flaking. A 3Mstripper pad is ideal for removing flaking paint and mild rust fromgalvanised iron – avoid using a wire brush on galvanised iron as it willdamage the surrounding protective zinc layer.Step 3 – Scraping and sanding timber and joineryIf the old paint surface is sound and `deglossed´ then it typically will notneed to be sanded. An exception to this is where old enamels have notbeen exposed to U.V. light and are hard, embrittled with age and haveretained much of their original gloss – usually on the opening edges ofwindow joinery and under eaves etc. Refer to the Sanding chart.Flaking paint will need to be scraped off. Once done, sand back to asound surface ensuring the paint edges are feathered.Note: 1: It is important to spot prime any bare timber the same day asit is sanded and before any filling to prevent overnight dew lifting thenewly feathered paint edge.Note 2: It is good practice to rinse areas with clean water before paintingcommences each day to remove any salt deposits – especially within1.5km of the sea.Step 4 – FillingImperfections and repaired areas, such as punched nails and cracks intimber and plaster, will need to be filled, and in some cases sanded, beforespot priming or painting can commence. The following chart identifiesthe most appropriate fillers for exterior use.
