Re: [H] Paano po pagpaint ng wall?

Good day sir!

If new concrete, kailangan ng 14 to 28 days na curing time bago tayo magpintura. (Kailangan ito para lumabas ang
alkalinity ng semento at maiwasan ang mapa-mapa pag nag-apply na tayo ng pintura.)
Tapos nito, pahiran ng Boysen Masonry Neutralizer #44 para lasunin ang semento. Huwag purong neutralizer and
ilagay. Kailangan 1:16 lang ang ratio ng neutralizer sa tubig. (Halimbawa: 1 litrong neutralizer sa 16 litrong tubig)
Patuyuin overnight. Mapapansin mong merong mga white crystals na lalabas sa walls mo next day. Ibig sabihin nito
nalason na ang konkreto.
Alisin ang asin (white crystals) sa semento sa pamamagitan ng tubig. Pag natuyo na ang semento pwde na tyong
maglagay ng pintura.
1st Coat: Boysen Flat Latex #701
Putty: Boysen Masonry Putty (masilya)
2nd & 3rd Coat: either Flat Latex, Semigloss Latex or Gloss Latex
PWEDE RIN
Kung ayaw nang lasunin pwedeng gumamit ng Acrytex Primer instead of Flat Latex bilang primer. Pero kailangan pa
rin ng curing time na 14 to 28 days bago magpintura.

Re: [H] Paano po pagpaint ng wall?

An alternative (for new concrete only) that doesn't need all the many steps and associated waiting
time would be mineral paint. No neutralizer, no washing off, no primer coat. Just apply the
recommended number of coats of mineral paint directly on the cured concrete.
Supposedly, mineral paint would be 'breathable', instead of sealing, which could be an advantage
when there is potential for trapped moisture problem. Also has a different look/texture than impervious
coatings that some may find appealing.
Not saying better than conventional paint, just an option to consider.

neutralizer ba ok lang abutin ng 1 week before mahugasan or nid tlg na 3 to 4 days lng e mahugasan
na sya agad? may effect po b un if ever abutin sya ng 1wik before matanggal yung mga white
cyrstals? every weekend lang kasi kami makakapunta ni hubby sa house nmin e... pa-advise nmn po
ako. atleast lng may idea kmi...thank you thank you
To be honest, its Ok. The concrete neutralizer, only works by removing alkali build up by using acid. (normally weak
acid, if it is strong they recommend you to add water in the label). If it is already neutralized, the alkali in your wall will
not attract moist that may damage the paint.
Cement is naturally humectant in nature, it attracts moist in the air, making your wall perspire.. This is bad for your
paint, it will strip off your paint from the wall, that's why curing or neutralizing is important.

Re: [H] Paano po pagpaint ng wall?

correct me if i am wrong but after i have applied the neutralizer, i let it stay overnight or upto 48 hours and wash off
the white flakes (by scrubbing or by pressurised water hose)...when i feel the wall is completely dry from all the
cleaning i then apply the primer.
in one Ace paint label, i read that a month old concrete need no neutralizer anymore and should be ok with the first
coat of primer..i am talking about my favorite Stain Halt by Ace. (does the acid in the cement eventually wear off? i
dont know...)
and thankfully recently paint companies came up with a bright idea of these siliconized paints acting well as a
moisture barrier...i just make sure i painted the exterior wall twice of the same paint before i do the interior...
but hey guys, if there is a better way than what i know please share it then.
(coz painting walls are the things i enjoy most in DIY weekends)
tia

For Interior concrete walls I usually do as follows:

Neutralize with Boysen conc. neutralizer(any brand will do)
Wash off crystalline deposits
Prime with flat latex
apply appropriate putty(either flat latex with patching compound or gypsum putty)
sand until smooth, re-putty if necessary.
apply 1st, 2nd and final coat of latex paint.(lately being fond of using sun and rain products)
for exterior applications:
prime with boysen acrytex primer.
putty with acrytex cast
sand until smooth
finish with either acrytex top coat, semi gloss latex or any exterior elastomeric paint.
HTH!

(Applying Neutralizer, Usually in 2-3 days pwede na hugasan ng tubig.

For latex paint only acri colors should be used. Your finish coats can be flat, semi-gloss or gloss latex.
Sun and Rain is an elastomeric acrylic paint available pre-mixed with a variety of colors. I like it as it is in my
preferred "egg shell" finish.
