Step 1

All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry and properly cured. Use a wire brush to remove any dirt or loose materials. If necessary repair any blowholes or voids using an appropriate Sika product. Metal surfaces should be rust free and should be treated with suitable Red etch primer prior to the application of the RainTite® Kit.
