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.
Step 2
Apply a generous base coat of the RainTite® Waterproofing Compound by brush or roller. Ensure all necessary areas are well coated.
Step 3
While it is still wet, embed the Sika RainTite® Membrane into the base coat, smoothing out air pockets and creases. Ensure that the overlaps of adjacent membrane overlap by a minimum of 50mm.
Step 4
Apply the second coat immediately, while the base coat is still wet in order to fully saturate the membrane on both sides. The final top coat can be applied once the second coat is touch dry. Clean tools with water and enjoy your dry and drip free home!
NB! The system needs to be protected from rain until dry.
