Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Prepare the Surface

  • Wash or water-blast the entire planter box surface to remove dirt, debris, and loose material.
  • Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any remaining water, ensuring the surface is completely dry before applying any product.
2

Reinforce Seams, Joins, and Holes

  • Pre-cut Geo-Textile to bridge the seams, wall-floor joins, corners, and any existing holes.
  • Apply Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant over these areas using a brush.
  • While the sealant is still wet, embed the pre-cut Geo-Textile into the sealant, making sure there are no wrinkles or air bubbles.
  • Once set, spray Rapid Cure Spray to speed up the drying process.
3

Apply Waterproof Sealant to the Entire Surface

  • Once dry, apply the first coat of Waterproof Sealant using a brush, roller, or spray machine, covering the entire planter box surface.
  • If rain is expected, spray Rapid Cure Spray to help set the product faster.
4

Apply the Final Waterproofing Coat

  • Apply a second coat of Waterproof Sealant across the entire planter box for complete coverage. Additional coats can be applied if needed.
  • Recommended thickness: 1.5mm dry-film (approximately 2 liters per square meter).
5

Allow to Cure & Protect Before Filling

  • Let the Waterproof Sealant cure for 48-72 hours before applying a protection board (corflute).
  • Once cured, backfill with soil and plant your greenery!

Additional Tips

  • Apply the product in dry weather and avoid temperatures below 10°C or above 32°C.
  • If you're growing edible plants, rest assured that Liquid Rubber is non-toxic and safe for use in planter boxes.
  • For wooden planters, consider sealing the outside as well to protect against moisture.
