[GSBN] Exterior plaster sealer?

[Van Krieken]

We use here a product called Surfapore, from Nanophos... I just do not know
if they are in USA. Look at http://www.nanophos.com/en/index_en.html
Despite they do not give very detailled information, some friends made a
test and found that they use Olive oil in it... (wich is a typical aspect in
Greece, where they produce an amazing quantity of products from Olive
trees).
Anyway, we did apply this product in a number of situations, i.e. on sb lime
plastered walls and also stone (granit) walls...and had excelent result as a
water repellent. You also may mix with lime wash.
Hope it helps
