Step-by-Step Instructions
Clean and Prepare the Surface
- Wash or water-blast the entire houseboat roof or deck surface to remove dirt, debris, and old coatings.
- Use a leaf blower to remove excess water and ensure the surface is completely dry before applying any product.
Reinforce Seams, Joins, and Holes
- Pre-cut Geo-Textile to fit over seams, joins, any holes, skylight etc.
- Apply Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant with a brush over these areas before embedding the pre-cut Geo-Textile into the wet sealant.
- Smooth out the textile to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.
- Once set, instantly spray Rapid Cure Spray to secure the area and speed up the drying process.
Seal Screws, Rust, and Railings
- Screws do not require Geo-Textile—simply apply a small amount of Waterproof Sealant over them with a gloved finger.
- Spray Rapid Cure Spray over the treated screws to instantly set the sealant.
- Apply Waterproof Sealant to surface rust, pipes, and railing bases for extra protection. Allow it to cure before proceeding.
Apply Sealer/Primer
- Once fully cured, clean the surface again to remove any dirt, salt, or natural debris that may have settled.
- If the surface was previously painted, apply Sealer before adding the final coating. If working with raw metal, apply Etch Primer to ensure proper adhesion.
Apply the Protective Thermal Coating
- Once dry, apply Thermal Coating for additional UV protection and heat reflection.
- Apply 3 coats over the Waterproof Sealant or 2 coats minimum over primed metal surfaces.
