Method of application

• Remove dust, dirt, grease, and loose parts off the surface.
• Rinse the surface to saturation and remove water surplus.
• Chisel out and around external defects, embedded gravel, wires, and exposed reinforcing steel and repair prior to applying the sealer.
• Fill and smooth wall-floor corners, using the appropriate materials 42 hours before applying BITUMSEAL.
• Pour the contents of one bucket (5 kg) BITUMSEAL LATEX into a container of a mechanical mixer. Start mixing and add slowly, while mixing, the contents of BITUMSEAL bag (20KG). Mix thoroughly until a homogenous, easy to apply mixture is obtained. Rinse the adhesive residue in the bucket with about 1 liter of water and add to the mixture.
• Apply the prepared mixture on the side of the wall that faces the water (positive and negative sealing), using a brush or a trowel. In the event of repaired spots, apply the mixture over the repair after it dries.
• Apply 2 coats of 1.25 kg/m². Apply the coats, in crisscross directions.
• It is recommended to use BITUMSEAL in two colors, to ascertain full coverage of the surface by the sealer.
