Steps to Follow For Applying the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer | Light Grey

Preparation

First, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from all loose material, dirt, dust, and grease. Next, repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas using a suitable filler or patching compound, allowing it to cure completely. Subsequently, for very porous or friable surfaces, it is advisable to apply a suitable primer 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 | Light Grey

Begin by stirring the Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer thoroughly before use to achieve a uniform consistency. Subsequently, apply the first coat using a brush, roller, or airless spray, ensuring even coverage across the entire surface. Moreover, pay particular attention to overlaps and corners, ensuring these areas receive adequate product. After the first coat is touch dry (approximately 4 hours), apply a second coat in the same manner. Finally, for optimal waterproofing and durability, a third coat may be necessary, especially on highly exposed or porous surfaces, allowing each coat to dry fully between applications.

Cleanup

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

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

Determining the right amount of Plascon Rubber Tuff Waterproofer prevents waste and ensures you have enough for the entire project. This high-performance coating covers roughly 8-12m² per litre on standard, smooth surfaces. To calculate your requirement, measure the total area in square meters you intend to waterproof. Divide this total area by an average of 10 (mid-range coverage) to estimate litres for one coat. For example, a 100m² roof would need about 10 litres for a single coat. Since 2-3 coats are recommended for full waterproofing, you would multiply this by 2 or 3. Therefore, a 100m² roof typically requires 20-30 litres for complete protection. Remember that rough or highly porous surfaces, such as aged concrete in Carletonville, may absorb more product and require 20-30% additional material.
