Listed Art Nouveau villa in Bad Kreuznach 2006. After many years of canal water penetration, it was possible to renovate the cellar and the ground floor apartment which had been heavily infested with mould by using STONE-BLISS. After the causes (sewer renovation) were remedied, the cellar and ground floor apartment were gutted. The cellar masonry of quarry stone was drained using Masid STONE-BLISS with grouting and restoration plaster. This measure was taken more than 6 months ago and there has not been any new saltpetre efflorescence or moisture. The wooden components affected by the fungus were discarded. The remaining surfaces in the area affected by the mould were sprayed with Masid STONE-BLISS. Water had been applied to the sprayed surfaces beforehand so that no STONE-BLISS drips off or remains only on the surface. The mould has not reappeared.

Using STONE-BLISS to reinforce mottled sandstone
Is STONE-BLISS suitable for reinforcing mottled sandstone?
In order to answer this question, an experiment was started in 2005 at a property in southern Hesse.
Property description: The property is located in the Odenwald. The cellar of the property is built as a vaulted cellar with mottled sandstone. Due to rising dampness in the cellar walls, the mottled sandstone is continuously worn away.
Start of the test:
10/2005
Test setup: A very sandy spot was selected (10 cm * 20 cm). This was divided into two areas. STONE-BLISS was applied to the right half twice in a dilution of 1:1.
The following can be recognised in the image:
On the left, the untreated mottled sandstone; on the right, the mottled sandstone treated with STONE-BLISS (slightly darker)
Initial results:
Due to the moisture in the walls, the drying process took about 1 week. Afterwards, a noticeable reinforcement of the coloured sandstone could be determined. It could also be noted that the STONE-BLISS does not rest as a "skin" on the mottled sandstone, but has connected with it or penetrated into it. Approx. 6-8 months later, at an inspection of one of the test sites treated with
STONE-BLISS, the sandstone had not worn away any further. The sandstone had not worn away on the area treated with STONE-BLISS when inspected in December 2007 either. On the other hand, the untreated area to the right of continues to decompose.

Dear Masid Team!
When I ordered Stone Bliss from you in 2011, you initially advised me very well over the telephone. A site redevelopment of the drainage in our house in a crawl space resulted in dripping water caused by
poor insulation, and because this was not recognised, I suddenly had an infestation of mould and dry rot to
combat. I worked intensively to remove the infected wood,
and take care of the drilled holes in the walls and saturation with Stone-Bliss, and began to dry out the foundation wall as a whole. I wanted to send you an appreciative letter about your product, when I noticed an occurrence of dry rot once again in 2012 at the same time of year as 2011 (July). During the renovation, I had not removed a wooden door and there were Mycelium residues under the oak threshold that revived the dry rot. I had you send Stone-Bliss to me again straight away, removed the door, and took
even stronger measures to dry out the walls.
2013's vegetation has almost disappeared now, and in July/August no more mould or dry rot appeared anywhere, so I would like to praise and thank you for your product.
I can only advise other "fellow sufferers" to use Stone-Bliss and to be extraordinarily thorough and careful, even if this means that very hard work is sometimes unavoidable. Stone-Bliss helps. We have an old thatched half-timbered house and were lucky that the fungus had not yet infested it. We firstly used the weed killer available on the market, "Flamethrower", in the cellar area. Fire, hard work and Stone-Bliss - we believe it worked well once again and we thank you very much for the friendly advice which I was even able to receive from a private apartment on a Sunday!
For internal security reasons, it's possible that I may need another small amount of Stone-Bliss to keep as a reserve, because I need to be careful of repeated infestations. Of course, control and prevention is very important. Thanks to the team!
With kind regards,
Axel Curdts
