Preparation Guide
We have over 30+ years of construction and waterproofing experience and use Liquid Rubber for our own projects.
When doing a DIY application the ONLY way it can "go wrong" is when the steps are not carried out properly and a shortcut has been taken or lack of care when preparing or applying.
Coverage: 15L Bucket approx. 11-13m2 @ 2 coats

Curing Time: Typically cures within 24-48 hours (depending on application thickness, temeprature and relative humidity) into a tough flexible waterproof barrier when applied to a minimum of 1000 micron (1mm) Dry Film Thickness (DFT)

Surface Preparation
As with all waterproofing membranes, the surface must be dry and free of anything that could adversely affect adhesion - if you apply the product correctly it WILL do the job.
- If using sealants in the joints and junctions etc. make sure the product is non-solvent based or non-acetic. We recommend using an acrylic sealant and allowing it to dry completely.
- If using polyurethane sealant they must be allowed to completely cured before applying Liquid Rubber as the solvents in some polyurethanes will affect the Liquid Rubber (some even after they’re cured).
