Make sure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, silicone, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, coal tar, or other contaminants. Apply using a 3/8 (10mm) roller, brush or paint sprayer. Temperature should be above 10˚C/50˚F and without rain or dew in the forecast when applying.

Etch concrete prior to application.

Apply each coat in an alternate direction to the last coat to ensure even coverage. For extra adhesion, performance and longevity and to create a moisture vapor barrier, use 1 heavy coat of Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer or Liquid Rubber EPDM Primer. We recommend applying a test patch before full application.

Apply next coat when dry to the touch with nothing wet underneath and is uniform in color (typically 4-6 hours).

Curing time depends on humidity and temperature however typical cure time is 72 hours (3-5 days after last coat before filling/use). Do not allow to freeze until fully cured.

For best results remove existing paints/coatings and apply directly to the substrate. (some paints and coatings will not be compatible. Loose/flaky paint may be an indication that the existing paint/coating is not well bonded and therefore your Liquid Rubber solution may fail if applied over it instead of directly to the substrate. Oil based paints, enamels, epoxies, powder coats can be difficult to bond to. Contact your Liquid Rubber technical representative for further direction.) Avoid contact with solvents and solvent based cleaners, adhesives and paints. Do not combine black products with colored products.

Use Deck Cleaner on Wood. Use EPDM Primer for EPDM pond liner. Reinforce seams, joints, cracks... with Geo-Textile or Seam Tape.

Use Liquid Rubber Caulking for gaps, cracks and around penetrations.
