Step-by-Step Instructions

1

 Prepare the Surface

  • Thoroughly clean the entire balcony surface to remove dirt, dust, and any loose materials.
  • Use a leaf blower to remove any excess debris and ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
2

Reinforce Seams, Joins, and Screw Holes

  • Pre-cut Geo-Textile to cover seams, wall-floor joins, and screw holes.
  • Apply a first coat of Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant to these areas using a brush.
  • While the sealant is still wet, embed the Geo-Textile into the sealant, making sure to smooth out air bubbles and wrinkles.
  • Once positioned, spray Rapid Cure Spray (optional) to set the product and accelerate drying.
3

Apply Waterproof Sealant to the Full Surface

  • Once the initial reinforced areas have dried, apply a first coat of Waterproof Sealant across the entire balcony surface using a brush, roller, or spray machine.
  • Ensure even coverage for maximum protection.
  • If rain is expected, spray Rapid Cure Spray after application to speed up drying.
4

Apply the Final Coat of Waterproof Sealant

  • Apply a second coat of Waterproof Sealant across the entire surface in the opposite direction to the first coat.
  • Additional coats can be applied if necessary.
  • Recommended thickness: 1.5mm dry-film (approximately 2 liters per square meter).
5

Allow to Cure Before Tiling or Finishing

  • Allow the Waterproof Sealant to cure for at least 24 hours per 1mm of thickness (longer in cold weather).
  • Typically, a full cure takes 2-3 days before the surface is ready for tiling or final finishing.

Additional Tips

  • Apply the product early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure the surface is completely dry before application to prevent adhesion issues.
  • Use Rapid Cure Spray to accelerate drying if rain is expected.
  • For tiling, ensure the sealant has fully cured before proceeding.
