Poultice stain removal
- Mix Poultice Pro with demineralised or distilled water into a thick paste so it does not run (i.e. the consistency of margarine).
- Apply the mixed poultice to the stained area with a wood or plastic spatula 6mm thick overlapping the stained area by 25mm. Ensure the poultice is in full contact with the stone, with no air pockets or voids.
- Cover the poultice with plastic wrapping. Tape the plastic down to seal the edges with non-marking tape and poke several holes in the plastic to speed up drying. Allow the poultice to dry thoroughly. Drying usually takes from 24 to 48 hours.
- Remove the plastic and tape by hand and then the poultice with a wood or plastic spatula to avoid scratching. Rinse the treated area thoroughly with distilled water.
- Repeat the process if necessary.
Handy tip
This 'how to' information directs only for use with water. Some experienced professionals may mix Poultice Pro with liquids other than water. While often effective, they do so at their own risk. We recommend in all cases that a test patch be carried out before starting any project or job to ensure the suitability of the system for the surface and to ensure the customer's expectations can be met with regard to look, budget and any other issues that may be present.
