Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Wash/water-blast the entire surface.
2. Use a leaf blower to remove excess water.
3. Pre cut Geo-Textile to bridge the seams, joins and holes.
4. Apply Waterproof Sealant with brush to seams, joins, holes and screws before embedding the pre cut Geo-Textile - ensure you brush the air from underneath the applied Geo-Textile and make sure there are no crinkles. Once the area is finalised, instantly spray on Rapid Cure Spray to set product. Refer to the full video below.
5. Screws don’t need Geo-Textile, just a nice blob from your index finger with a glove on followed by Rapid Cure Spray. Refer to this video.
6. Ensure to also apply Waterproof Sealant to any surface rust, pipes and any railing bases - allow to cure.
7. Once dry, apply a first coat of Waterproof Sealant with brush, roller or LRDIY spray machine to full surface of house boat roof (Optional) or the above defected areas.
8. Following the Waterproof Sealant application, instantly spray on Rapid Cure Spray to set product incase of approaching rain or to speed the job up (ensure Rapid Cure Spray is dry before apply second coat with brush or roller). Watch the rapid cure video to see how this is done.
