Steps to Follow For Applying the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer | Red, 20L

Preparation

Initially, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dust, or grease. Subsequently, repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas using a suitable filler or patching compound, allowing it to cure completely. Furthermore, for very porous or friable surfaces, a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of Rubber Tuff may be necessary to enhance adhesion. Finally, mask off any areas not intended for coating to ensure clean lines and prevent accidental application.

How to Apply the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer | Red, 20L

Begin by stirring the Plascon Rubber Tuff thoroughly before use to achieve a uniform consistency. Next, apply the first coat evenly using a brush, roller, or airless spray, ensuring full coverage of the prepared surface. Moreover, pay particular attention to overlaps, joints, and areas prone to movement, such as parapet walls in Potchefstroom. Allow a minimum of 4 hours for the first coat to dry before proceeding. Subsequently, apply a second coat in the same manner, ensuring complete coverage. For optimal waterproofing and to achieve the 12-year guarantee, a third coat is often recommended, especially on high-traffic or exposed areas.

Cleanup

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

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

Determining the correct amount of Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer is essential to prevent waste and ensure comprehensive protection for your project. This high-performance coating typically covers between 8-12m² per litre on standard, smooth surfaces. To calculate your requirement, measure the total area you intend to waterproof in square meters. For instance, if your roof is 100m², you would need approximately 10 litres for a single coat (100m² / 10m²/L). For the recommended two to three coats, you would require 20-30 litres. Always consider that rough, highly porous, or uneven surfaces, such as older cement tiles in Fochville, may absorb more product and necessitate an additional 20-30% volume to achieve optimal coverage and the full 12-year guarantee.
