I've got a wall to my yard in common brick, which I have added several courses to with engineering brick, as they are less permeable. I've painted it with Dulux Weather shield but the commons keep flaking. I've tried sealing and putting PVA on it over the years, but it still keeps flaking, any clues about a lasting finish. I have considered Lime wash, but where do I get it from?
Yes it does say on the tin not suitable for commons, but I have even tried emulsion first. I suspect it's the water they absorb preventing, and then on temperature change making it flake.
Any ideas you Masters of DIY?
