Tools & supplies in Mbombela: local notes
Paint shops in the CBD, Riverside and Rocky Drift stock fungicidal washes, mould-resistant primers and waterproofing membranes, and the waterproofing shelves empty quickly before the rains. Building contractors in Karino and White River buy plaster primer, PVA and acrylics in bulk. Timber sealers and varnish for lodge decks and veranda posts are steady sellers. Store tins out of the summer heat, since hot paint skins and dries too fast.
