What you will need

  • Sikalastic®-560

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Ensure that the substrate is clean, dry and free of all contaminants and correctly prepared. All dust and loose, friable material must be removed. Blow holes and voids should be fully exposed then repaired. Should the substrate be poor or porous, priming of the substrate would be required. Dilute Sikalastic®-560 with 10% water and apply as primer.

Step 2: Apply Bottom Coat

Apply Sikalastic-560 primer coat

Thoroughly mix the product for 1 minute before applying the primer coat if needed. Once the primer has dried, apply the first coat of Sikalastic®-560.

Step 3: Place Sikalastic® Fleece-120 Membrane

Roll in the Sikalastic® Fleece-120 while the bottom coat is still wet and ensure that there are no bubbles or creases. Overlapping of the fleece must be a minimum of 5 cm.
