Primasil & Rainsil: from Eco-House.com Ok, so I spoke to Elizabeth today in New Brunswick (Fredericton)(toll-free), & this is what we came up with (she came up with), as an eco-friendly concrete sealer for Swannee when she is cured…(28 days minimum)…
I am going to use Rainsil to Primasil in a proportion of 1 part :9 parts …This will strengthen the concrete sealing coat but allow for breathability…The Rainsil also offers anti-graffiti protection, so if someone spray paints on a Rainsil surface, you can remove the graffiti easily…(more easily)…(sometimes with just soap & water, or maybe with Eco-House oranges solvent if it is tough)…The Primasil breathes well so if water gets in it can get out too, which is important because if water gets in & gets stuck then freezes & expands you get a cracked concrete sculpture…
The great & nice & wonderful thing is Elizabeth from Eco-House offered to send me a pre-mixed batch 1:9 of Rainsil to Primasil, which saves me the measuring & the cost of shipping two things & the brain power…Plus I told her my square footage (about 5 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet= 45 square feet) & she told me I only need about a Litre total of concrete sealer solution!
I am also looking into their silicate mineral pigments for concrete applications like murals or concrete sculptures…The paint actually cures into the cement so it really stays put…Eco-House has a sample box of assorted colours in 8 ounce bottles, or you could just try one bottle to see how it goes on whatever your project is…This company has NO VOC paints, not just low, & honestly I Love them! (they put up my oil painting “Salesgirl” on the front of their website because I only always ever use their eco-dammar varnish on my paintings, & I am so humbled by that attention…They even put up a web address grovecanada.ca on the image- which is so nice & I have always wanted to be one of those artists that a company uses as an example & now I am…! Makes me blush…Gosh, I really have to get that website in order now! Must go to do that!
Last words: If you have a painting project, concrete sealing project, building project- go to ECO-HOUSE.COM & see what they can help you with! This is just the best company I have ever dealt with…Ever…(not just Elizabeth,but the owner too, & the other people there who I have dealt with over the last 15 years…)
