Review: Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre As a DIY enthusiast, I often tackle projects that require a solid foundation, and the Everbuild 406 Stabilising Solution has been indispensable. Here’s a comprehensive look at its performance: Product Overview The Everbuild 406 is a high-performance surface treatment designed to stabilize porous and friable surfaces. Its specially formulated, microscopically fine polymer emulsion penetrates deeply into dusty, chalky, and weathered surfaces, creating a stable base for subsequent decoration with paint, wallpaper, or tiling. Suitable for both interior and exterior use, it’s ideal for plaster, rendering, pebbledash, stucco, existing painted surfaces, brickwork, and blockwork. Application & Performance • Ease of Use: Applying the solution was straightforward. I used a standard paintbrush to apply a liberal coat. For extremely porous surfaces, a second coat was necessary once the first dried. The drying time was approximately 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. • Coverage: The 5-litre container provided ample solution for my project, covering approximately 25-50 square meters, depending on surface porosity. • Finish: The solution dries clear, leaving no noticeable residue, which is perfect for surfaces that will be painted or tiled over. Effectiveness I applied the stabiliser to a weathered brick wall that had been previously painted. After preparation, I applied the stabilising solution, and the difference was remarkable. The surface felt more solid and ready for painting. Subsequent paint application adhered better, and the finish was more uniform. Considerations • Packaging: One reviewer mentioned receiving a leaking container. However, my product arrived intact, and I had no issues with packaging. • Application Tips: Ensure the surface is clean and free from loose particles before application. For extremely porous surfaces, a second coat may be necessary. Final Thoughts The Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution is a reliable and effective product for preparing surfaces before decoration. Its ease of use, clear finish, and impressive performance make it a top choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to stabilize and prepare surfaces for painting or tiling. Review: ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC STUFF - Absolute fantastic stuff. Had different issues with efflorescence and chalky residues for years on numerous internal walls in my rented property. This stuff has absolutely killed both problems in an instant. I used 2 coats of stabilising solution (just to be sure as I am a bit OCD) but to be honest it’s worth doing for that extra piece of mind. If you got a large area to do, get a bucket, a large 3” paint brush (any old brush will do, no need for anything fancy) and simply brush it on the affected area on the wall. No need to be fussy, apply it quick and should only take a few minutes to do a large area. You will see it will leave a shiny coating so you can see what you have done as it is a clear solution but this is normal. Leave for a few hours and reapply. I then apply a Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer Sealer paint again using the same method as the stabilising solution by using a paint brush to apply to the walls. Finally roller on your normal emulsion paint on the walls as normal. That’s it job done. If in any doubt to it’s effectiveness, just rub your hand over the problem area before you apply the stabilising solution and see what comes off (all the cr@p!). After you applied it, then see what comes off. You should have nothing at all so you know it has done it’s job. I have used this on internal walls but I would also feel very confident on external walls too. I know trades people have been using this stuff for years and I can see why😉 Best of luck and hope this helps. ## Features - 406 Stabilising Solution - Size: 5LTR - Brand: Everbuild ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005AH8EBA | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,765 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 12 in Epoxies | | Brand | Sika | | Colour | White | | Compatible Material | Plastic, Brick | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,523 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05029347601508, 05053999241591 | | Item Dimensions | 28 x 13 x 6.5 centimetres | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Stabilising Solution | | Item Weight | 5.2 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 28 x 13 x 6.5 centimetres | | Item weight | 5.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Sika Everbuild | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Sika Everbuild 41 Knowsthorpe Way, Leeds LS9 0SW | | Manufacturer Part Number | STAB5 | | Material | Polymer | | Model Number | 406 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Style | Original Packaging | | Style Name | Original Packaging | | Supported Standards | ASTM C-920 | | Surface Recommendation | Tile | | Unit Count | 5000.0 millilitre | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Water resistance level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sika - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 28 x 13 x 6.5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 5.2 Kilograms - **Material:** Polymer - **Style:** Original Packaging ## Images ![Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610K8Sj5VfL.jpg) ![Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bwpW6TEjL.jpg) ![Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818ZkkOVoaL.jpg) ![Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DPHRetxAL.jpg) ![Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hTbpr4p5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the rough coverage please?** A: I agree with the other answer of between 5-10m sq as it depends how porous the stonework is. I coated my sandstone walls twice. It is the best thing ever for porous stone work, particularly sandstones. No more sand coming off the stone. I did my old home 20years ago and the stonework look just as good today. **Q: I have exterior painted walls that have started to flake/peel in places. Would you recommend applying this solution before repainting?** A: This product is usually put on before any paint is put on the walls. If you scrap any peeling paint and rough the wall area then you can use this product but the surface has to be dust free. **Q: Can you use acrylic paints on it?** A: My partner has with no problems **Q: Hello, can this product be used as primer for tanking membrane and tape? i had a kit but the primer got spilt. tia for taking the time** A: Hi, unfortunately this is not a suitable alternative for the tanking primer. You can use SBR instead which would be diluted 1 part SBR to 4 parts water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre *by E***S on 30 August 2025* Everbuild 406 Quick Drying Stabilising Solution – Clear – 5 Litre As a DIY enthusiast, I often tackle projects that require a solid foundation, and the Everbuild 406 Stabilising Solution has been indispensable.
