Can I use 50% fixitive mixed with 50% keim solidat As a binding coat on limewashed walls exterior

Keim Soldalit doesn't require dilution. Assuming you have suitably prepared the substrate in accordance with the technical datasheet, apply one full coat of Keim Soldalit Fixativ , followed by 2 full coats of Keim Soldalit, with 12 hours between either coat, in your choice of colour.

I m painting the exterior lime washed lime render of my house. I bought soldalit and Keim fixative as the base consolidating layer. Now I see there is actually a soldalit fixative and am worried that I should have used that instead. Fixative does say it’s for exterior and interior use, will it be ok on my render? I have opened it so it can’t be sent back but it’s not worth ruining he work if it’s the wrong choice

Keim Fixativ is perfectly fine for previously limewashed surfaces as well as Keim Soldalit Fixativ . Just make sure to remove as much loose and flaking and limewash as possible.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
