Steps to Follow For Applying the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer Green

Preparation

First, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, or grease. Subsequently, repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas using a suitable filler or patching compound, allowing it to cure completely. Moreover, for optimal adhesion on very porous or chalky surfaces, consider applying a suitable primer as recommended by the manufacturer. Finally, mask off any areas not intended for waterproofing to ensure a neat finish.

How to Apply the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer Green

Begin by stirring the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer thoroughly before use to achieve a consistent mixture. Next, apply the first coat evenly using a brush, roller, or airless spray, ensuring complete coverage of the surface. Furthermore, allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats to ensure proper curing. Subsequently, apply a second coat, and if necessary, a third coat, to achieve full waterproofing strength and the desired thickness. Always work in manageable sections to maintain a wet edge and ensure a seamless application.

Cleanup

• Clean all brushes, rollers, and application equipment immediately with water while the waterproofer is still wet.
• Dispose of any excess material and empty containers responsibly, adhering to local environmental regulations.
• Seal the container tightly if any product remains and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Wipe up any spills or splatters with a damp cloth before they dry and become difficult to remove.

How Much Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer Green Do You Need? - Coverage Calculator

Determining the correct quantity of Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer prevents unnecessary waste and ensures you have ample product for a complete, protective application. This advanced waterproofer typically covers between 8-12m² per litre on standard, smooth surfaces. To calculate your needs, measure the total area you intend to waterproof in square meters. Divide this total area by 10 (using an average coverage rate for calculation ease), then multiply by the number of coats required (typically 2-3 for full waterproofing). For instance, a 100m² roof would require approximately 10 litres for one coat, or 20-30 litres for two to three complete, robust coats. Please note that rough, highly porous, or uneven surfaces may absorb more product, potentially requiring an additional 20-30% to achieve optimal coverage and protection.
