Painting Dry Verge ?

[Si_]

Poster#14,
Really. Its an even more universally held building trade experience that painting masonry is not a success.

1. How do you prep damp sodden brickwork?
2. How do you prep damp sodden solid walls esp walls with rubble infill?
3. Or damp cavity walls with sodden CWI?
4. How do you prep rising damp on external surfaces?
5. Do you claim your that best practice is to patch render, and replace spalled brickwork? Do you rake & re-point?

In the same way I wouldn't advise respraying your car if it's rusted through, covered in moss and half buried in a marsh, I wouldn't advise painting your wall if it's 'sodden' through, stuffed with wet insulation and subject to rising damp.
