Hi,
A quick question - I had coated the side wall of my house with Thompson's waterseal after it was re-pointed, thinking it was the old solvent based formula. I have subsequently discovered that it was actually the water based 'new improved formula' with silicone in it and it advises not to overpaint.
I do need to paint the wall as water is still coming through the brickwork, which I think is because of tiny cracks in the brick (and was planning to do at least 2/3 coats of sandtex masonry paint) - has anyone ever tried painting bricks with paint after applying the new 'improved formula' thompson's waterseal? does the paint come off? If so, what are my options? I do need to get the wall painted.
Thanks
