Can MasonrySaver be painted over?
A coating such as paint is usually not recommended for masonry. However, if necessary, apply MasonrySaver first, allow it to dry
completely, then apply a good quality oil based paint. MasonrySaver should never be applied over paint as it will not penetrate the coating. Before painting over any SaverSystems water repellent you must follow these
guidelines:
-
No latex or water based coating can be applied directly over any of our water repellent products.
-
A solvent or oil based primer should be applied first. Then follow manufacturers instructions for the primer as to what type of top coat can be applied next.
-
Always apply a test patch in an inconspicuous area to ensure an acceptable job.

How can overspray be removed?
Overspray should always be removed as soon as possible. Masking and protecting windows, and all non-targeted surfaces, saves time in the long run. To
remove overspray on windows, wipe in a circular motion with a clean dry cloth. If necessary, a very fine grade of steel wool may also be used. Solvent cleaners such as Goof Off, OOPS!, or mineral spirits may be used.
