The walls or floors to be tiled must be wood-floated and not steel-trowelled or power-floated. Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, sound and free from dust, grease or any contamination that could impair bonding.
Make good any unsound areas and remove flaky or peeling layers before tiling. Organic growth must be removed and the spores killed using household bleach.
Limitations
Not suitable as a final finish or for use in direct sunlight. Not suitable for waterproofing exterior building walls, industrial floors or unstable surfaces.
Not suitable for tanking areas that are continually immersed, such as ponds and pools. Not suitable for waterproofing roofs and terraces. Not resistant to pressure washing on some substrates.
Mixing
■ Combine the two 5kg bags of Part A with Part B and mix to a creamy slurry.
■ Allow the mixture to mature for 5 minutes and re-mix thoroughly. Do not add more water.
Application: Cement Surface
Ensure that the substrate is clean and dust-free.
- Apply a 1.5mm to 2mm thick layer of the Part A/B slurry to the substrate using a block-brush. Allow returns of at least 75mm on the vertical and horizontal surfaces, paying particular attention to the corners.
- Apply Part C onto the wet slurry and press down firmly. Allow the membrane joints to overlap by 100mm with neighbouring membrane. Brush out any air pockets.
- Immediately apply a second coat of slurry, ensuring that the Part C is completely saturated.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours before tiling commences.
