Planter Box Waterproofing FAQs
Can I apply Liquid Rubber over existing coatings or sealants?
For the best waterproofing results, apply Liquid Rubber to a clean, dry surface. Remove loose or peeling coatings, silicone, rust scale, and other contaminants first. This ensures maximum adhesion and long term leak protection.
What tools and equipment do I need to waterproof my Planter Box?
Application is simple. Use a paintbrush, roller (included in our kits), or a spray machine for larger Tanks. Basic safety gear such as gloves is recommended, and keep a suitable cleaner handy for spills and tool cleanup.
What is the best way to prepare the surface for application?
Use a power washer to clean the surface. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of debris, mold, and other contaminants.
Do I need to use the rapid cure spray?
The Rapid Cure Spray is used for the Waterproof Sealant to instantly set the product. It is fully optional but we recommend using it for best results.
