Before you ask why this is in this section, my query revolves around bricks so I though I would get the best answer here.
I have just purchased a couple of 5L tubs of Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint. I bought them from Screwfix after reading good reviews on the paint.
When the tubs arrived, as usual, I read the instructions on the tub. It clearly states what it is suitable for but also states:
NOT SUITABLE : Common, Fletton or Engineering type bricks
Apart from the fact that this non-suitability is not mentioned anywhere on the Screwfix website, can anyone tell me why it isn't suitable for these surfaces please?
Reason for asking is that the paint was purchased mainly for a rendered external area (so all good) but did plan to use some of it on an external wall between my house and next door (this is not part of either dwelling - just a 'standalone' wall made up of common brick)
Thanks in advance.
