Greenacres Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Can any one tell me the name (s) of a stabilising solution to be used on a flakiing / powdery stone wall to help bind together.We do not want to spoil the look so a clear solution to be sprayed on is preferable.We live in France so need to find a french solution.Thank youStuart www.greenacresworldwide.comhelping homeowners across Burgundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_gallois Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 You havent said wether the walls are internal or external? There are many different products available but most are for specific areas. If your local builders merchant is big enough he may have a LEFARGE Products catalogue where, even with minimal French, you should find a solution.

Greenacres Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 This wall is inside an old barn.The stones are like pink granite - so very fine and powdery/sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leschenauds Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I used PVA glue thinned down with water to a spraying consistency and it worked fine. That is what stabilising solution is anyway which is the same as the roller blind stiffening solution. I bought PVA glue in gallon cans in the UK as it is so useful for many things e.g. to paint on smooth surfacer as a paint primer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacknanty Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 We did the same as Leschenauds, excepted painted it on. Reduced the 'fall out' considerably.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
