Earl’s Graffiti Barrier & Remover System – Non-Toxic, Biodegradable Stop graffiti before it sticks—and remove it fast when it does. This two-part system pairs a sacrificial Graffiti Barrier coating with a powerful, non-caustic Graffiti Remover. Use the Barrier to shield vulnerable surfaces so future tags release easily, and use the Remover to dissolve existing graffiti on common building substrates. Both products are non toxic, contain no caustic soda, and are designed for safe, simple use in domestic or commercial settings. Why choose this system Complete solution: Protect plus remove—works as a proactive coating and a reactive cleaner. Non-toxic & biodegradable: No caustic soda; safer handling and cleanup. Wide surface compatibility: Brick, cement render, timber fences, stone, metal, garage doors, and signage (always test first). Fast turnaround: Barrier rolls or brushes on quickly; Remover dissolves graffiti that can be rinsed away with water. Made for Australian conditions: Practical directions for real-world sites—homes, schools, retail, body corporate assets, and councils. What’s in the box Earl’s Graffiti Barrier: A sacrificial, protective coating that forms an invisible* shield to make future clean-downs faster and gentler. Earl’s Graffiti Remover: A non-caustic cleaner that dissolves graffiti so residues can be scrubbed and rinsed away. *Appearance may vary by substrate; see Specifications and always test a small area first. Where to use Masonry: Bricks, blockwork, stone, concrete/cement render. Timber & metal: Timber fences, metal doors, garage doors, and metal signage. High-risk zones: Laneways, rear service doors, fence lines, public-facing walls, and transport corridors. How it works The Barrier creates a sacrificial layer. When tagging occurs later, graffiti sits at or near the surface and releases more readily during cleanup. The Remover penetrates and dissolves paints/inks so they can be agitated and rinsed from the substrate, especially effective on porous mineral surfaces and surfaces previously treated with the Barrier. Directions 1) Apply the Graffiti Barrier (preventive) Prep: Surface must be clean, dry, sound, and free of dust, oil, or old failing coatings. Mask adjacent areas. Application: Stir/shake well. Apply sparingly by roller or brush in a single, consistent roll direction. Coverage: Up to ~6 m²/L on render or dark/porous surfaces (coverage varies by substrate profile and porosity). Conditions: Do not apply below 12 °C or in very cold/damp conditions. Appearance: Dries to an opaque protective film; test a small inconspicuous area to confirm finish/visual impact. 2) Use the Graffiti Remover (reactive) For unpainted mineral surfaces: Spray or liberally apply Remover directly to the graffiti. Allow time for the film to soften/dissolve. Agitate: Scrub with a stiff bristle brush to lift residues from pores and profiles. Rinse: Wash off thoroughly with clean water. Repeat on deeply embedded areas if required. Barrier not previously applied? The Remover can still be used to clean most common surfaces; repeat as necessary. Pro tips Always conduct a spot test in an inconspicuous area to verify appearance and cleaning performance. Highly porous or dark substrates may need additional coats of the Barrier for consistent protection. Schedule maintenance inspections in high-risk locations so tags are removed promptly, discouraging re-offending. Clean-up & safety Use appropriate PPE (gloves/eye protection). Provide ventilation when working in enclosed areas. Avoid runoff into drains and waterways. Collect residues where practical and dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sun and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children. Specifications Property Graffiti Barrier Graffiti Remover Function Sacrificial protective coating to ease future graffiti removal Non-caustic graffiti dissolver for reactive cleaning Key claims Non toxic, non caustic, biodegradable Non caustic; designed to dissolve graffiti for water rinsing Suitable substrates Brick, cement render, stone, timber fences, metal, garage doors Brick, cement render, stone, timber fences, metal, garage doors, metal signs Appearance / finish Dries opaque (test first for visual impact) Clear liquid cleaner (appearance varies by manufacturer’s batch) Application method Roller or brush (single roll direction) Spray/apply, dwell, scrub, rinse with water Coverage (guide) Approx. 6 m²/L on render or dark/porous surfaces (substrate dependent) Consumption varies with thickness of graffiti and porosity Application temperature Do not apply below 12 °C Use in ambient conditions; avoid extreme heat/cold; ventilate area Cleanup Allow to dry; future clean-downs remove tags more easily Rinse dissolved residues thoroughly with clean water Typical uses Preventive protection for high-risk surfaces Removal of existing tags and markers

Earl’s Wood Hardener — Restore Soft, Rotted Timber Like New Bring weakened, decayed timber back to life with Earl’s Wood Hardener. This water-based consolidator penetrates deep into soft, rotted fibres and bonds them into a tough, stable base that’s ready for filling, sanding, and painting. Use it to save windowsills, frames, posts, decking boards, furniture, fences, and more—without costly tear-outs or replacements. Why Customers Love It Repairs instead of replacing: Restores soft, crumbly timber to near original strength so you can patch and repaint. Water-based formulation: Low odour, no volatile organic compounds, and non-toxic when cured. Ready to use: Pre-mixed; just shake and apply—no diluting or measuring. Works inside and out: Ideal for interior and exterior timber exposed to weathering. Versatile application: Pour, brush, spray, or syringe to saturate deep into affected areas. Long shelf life: Stays usable for extended periods when stored correctly. Proudly Australian made: Developed for local conditions and everyday DIY and trade use. Where to Use Window sills and sashes, door frames, posts, fences, balustrades, fascia boards, decking edges, outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, trims, mouldings—any non-structural timber showing soft rot or fibre breakdown. How It Works The thin, penetrating formula wicks into softened timber fibres. As it cures, it binds those fibres together to form a firm, stable base that can be filled, sanded, and coated. No need to carve out all the rot—thorough saturation does the heavy lifting. Directions Prep: Ensure the area is dry. Remove dirt, dust, grease, loose paint, varnish, and flaky wood. Mask adjacent finishes if needed. Apply: Shake well. Generously pour, brush, spray, or syringe the hardener into the affected timber. Repeatedly saturate to drive product deep into fibres. Cure: Allow to cure until solid and no longer tacky to the touch. Extremely soft timber may need multiple treatments. Repair: Fill voids with a compatible wood filler, let set, then sand smooth. Finish: Prime/seal and paint or coat as desired. Pro Tip For deep penetration around a localized patch of rot, mark approximately 75 mm either side of the soft area and drill small holes between those points. Brush, spray, or syringe the hardener into the holes until saturation is achieved. Clean-Up & Safety Clean tools and drips with water while wet. Use above 7 °C and in well-ventilated areas. Non-toxic when cured. Always follow label directions and keep out of reach of children. Compatibility Once cured, the hardened substrate accepts most timber fillers and putties. After filling and sanding, it can be primed and top-coated with typical timber paints and finishes. Always test on a small area for compatibility. Limitations Not for structural load-bearing repairs. Not recommended for constant water immersion or areas that cannot be dried prior to application. Timber must be reasonably sound after consolidation; heavily degraded material may require multiple treatments or replacement. Specifications Type Water-based timber consolidant / hardener Use Restoring soft, rotted, non-structural timber prior to filling and painting Appearance Low viscosity liquid; dries clear/transparent Odour / VOC Low odour; no volatile organic compounds Application Methods Pour, brush, spray, or syringe to saturate fibres Interior / Exterior Suitable for both Minimum Application Temperature Above 7 °C Cure Indicator Ready for filling when firm and not tacky to the touch Clean-Up Water while wet Shelf Life In excess of 2 years when stored sealed in a cool, dry place Substrates Soft or rotted timber (non-structural), interior and exterior Country of Manufacture Australia Packaging Ready-to-use container What’s in the Box Earl’s Wood Hardener (ready to use) Storage Keep container tightly closed.

Concremate Expanding Anchoring Cement Anchor, patch and lock in place with confidence. Concremate is a high-performance expanding cement designed for rapid, reliable anchoring and structural patching. Mixed to a workable, mortar-like consistency, it expands slightly as it cures to counteract drying shrinkage. That controlled expansion grips embedded items and surrounding material tightly, delivering a secure, long-lasting hold that stands up to strain, stress and vibration. Why choose Concremate Fast turnaround: initial set in about 30 minutes and hard in approximately 1 hour, so many jobs can progress the same day. Expands and grips: engineered expansion of about 0.125% offsets shrinkage and locks into the substrate. High ultimate strength: cures to a finish that becomes harder than standard concrete at 28 days when properly mixed and applied. Versatile application: ideal for anchoring bolts, rails, brackets and fixtures, as well as patching holes, chases and cracks. Durable performance: forms a robust, long-term bond that resists severe mechanical stress and vibration. Where it excels Use Concremate for secure embedment and structural repairs on common mineral surfaces. It is suitable for: Concrete and masonry Brickwork and stone Tiles and terrazzo Plaster and similar mineral substrates Typical projects Anchoring handrails, posts, machine base bolts, threaded rods and heavy brackets Fixing door and window hardware to masonry openings High-pressure grouting under plates, around pipe sleeves and service penetrations Patching voids, chased conduits, spalled edges and impact damage in floors, walls and ceilings How it works Concremate is a mineral-based expanding cement. After mixing with clean water, the paste hydrates and begins to set. A small, controlled expansion during cure offsets natural drying shrinkage. The result is a tight, interference-style fit that increases grip on embedded items and keys the patch into surrounding material. For best results, the material must be able to expand slightly while drying and should not be constrained in a completely sealed cavity. Directions for use Surface preparation: Remove dust, loose material, laitance, oil and contaminants. Roughen smooth surfaces and blow or brush clean. Pre-dampen porous substrates to a surface-saturated dry condition; do not leave standing water. Mixing: Add powder to clean water while stirring until a smooth, lump-free, mortar-like consistency is reached. Mix only what you can place within the working time. Do not over-water. Placement for anchoring: Fill the prepared hole or pocket from the bottom up to avoid entrapped air. Insert the fixture or fastener while the mix is workable and align immediately. Hold steady until initial set. Placement for patching: Tightly pack the mix into the void in layers, compacting each layer to ensure full contact. Strike off and finish the surface as required. Curing: Protect from rapid drying, wind and direct sun during early cure. Avoid vibration or load until the material has hardened. Cleanup: Clean tools and splashes with water while product is fresh. Once hardened, mechanical removal may be required. Good practice tips Plan the job so placement occurs immediately after mixing for best expansion and bond. For deep holes or large voids, place in lifts and compact each lift. Do not confine completely in a sealed cavity; allow space for controlled expansion. Avoid adding sand, cement or other admixtures that can change performance. Performance and durability When correctly mixed and applied, Concremate develops a hard, dense matrix with strong adhesion to mineral substrates and embedded metals. The slight expansion on cure reduces micro-gapping at the interface, improving load transfer and long-term durability. After full cure at 28 days, the set material achieves hardness that exceeds standard concrete, supporting demanding anchoring and patching tasks. Safety and handling Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when mixing and placing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place in the original, tightly closed container. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Specifications Product type Expanding cement anchoring and patching compound Form Premixed dry powder Color Grey Mix consistency Mortar-like paste when mixed with clean water Initial set About 30 minutes (conditions dependent) Hard set Approximately 1 hour (conditions dependent) Ultimate hardness Harder than standard concrete at 28 days Expansion Approx. 0.125% during cure Recommended substrates Concrete, brick, stone, tiles, plaster, terrazzo Primary uses Anchoring bolts, rails, brackets and fixtures; patching holes, chases and cracks; high-pressure grouting Cleanup Water while fresh Storage Cool, dry conditions in sealed container What to expect on the job With suitable surface preparation and correct mixing, you can expect a smooth placement, quick set and a dense, high-integrity bond. The expansion action helps lock hardware and patches into place. Protect new work from early movement and moisture loss, then return to service once the hard set has been achieved and the repair or anchorage has reached the necessary strength for your application. Limitations Not for use where the mix cannot expand slightly during cure. Do not apply over active movement joints or flexible substrates. Working and set times vary with temperature, humidity and mix ratio. Note: Always trial on a small, inconspicuous area or non-critical hole to confirm suitability for your specific substrate and conditions.

Typical applications Fill holes in wood: knotholes, nail and screw holes, dents, edge build-ups Wall patching: cracks and cavities in plasterboard and cement sheet Furniture repair: tighten loose joints, reset fasteners, rebuild profiles Floor levelling: ramp or smooth minor level variations before floor coverings Trim and fixtures: refit loose door bumpers and trims with reliable hold Architectural & hobby moulding: casting and shaping durable components Why choose Agnews Agnews Water Putty cures to a dense, stone-hard finish that resists shrinkage and cracking even in deep fills. It bonds securely, stays put, and finishes cleanly, delivering a stable base for sanding, priming and painting. From small touch-ups to larger restorations, it provides consistent, professional results. Directions (general guide) Surface prep: Ensure the area is clean, dry, sound and free of dust, oil or loose material. For very porous substrates, lightly dampen to reduce rapid suction. Mix: Add powder to clean water and blend to a smooth, lump-free paste. Adjust water to suit application (thicker for filling, looser for fairing/skim). Apply: Press firmly into cracks or voids with a putty knife or trowel. Overfill slightly so you can sand back flush. Cure: Allow to dry thoroughly. Dry time varies with thickness, temperature and humidity. Finish: Sand to profile. Prime and paint or seal. For exterior applications, always seal after full dry. Exterior use guidance This is a hard-setting, non-flexible compound. For exterior use, only apply over stable substrates with minimal expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Ensure the putty is fully dry before sealing with a suitable exterior-grade coating. Finishing & compatibility Paintable and sealable after full dry; prime as required for best results. Can be cut, carved, drilled and sanded after cure without crumbling. For stained timber finishes, test a small area first for colour and absorption. Pro tips Mix small batches and use promptly. For deep voids, apply in layers if needed, allowing each layer to firm before the next. Store powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its unlimited shelf life. Clean tools with water before material cures.
