This invention relates to the impregnation of rigid porous articles, particularly metal castings. In its preferred form the impregnant is a liquid mixture of monofunctional (meth)acrylic ester and a relatively small proportion of polyfunctional (meth)acrylic ester to provide a cross linked product on curing and to facilitate washing of the casting with water and an emulsifier. A peroxy or other free radical catalyst such as AZBN is associated in the impregnant with an inhibitor such as a hydroquinone derivative so that curing can be effected at a temperature of 90 DEG C. within 3 to 15 minutes. Curing is preferably effected by immersion in a hot water bath.
