Construction Instructions

Achieving a flawless waterproofing solution with QUICSEAL 102 requires meticulous application. Follow these detailed construction instructions to ensure the best results:

1. Surface Preparation:

• Start with clean and sound substrates, ensuring they are free from dust, loose particles, and any contaminants.
• Remove any laitance, oil, grease, mold release agents, or curing compounds using a wire brush, scabbler, or other suitable means.
• At all corners, create a cement and sand fillet to provide a base for the waterproofing membrane.

2. Substrate Dryness:

• Before applying QUICSEAL 102, it is imperative that the substrate is completely dry and devoid of moisture. This ensures proper adhesion and the effectiveness of the waterproofing.

3. Application Tools:

• QUICSEAL 102 can be applied using various tools, including a brush, roller, trowel, squeegee, or by spraying. Choose the method that best suits your specific project requirements.

4. Primer (if necessary):

• In some cases, a primer may be required to improve adhesion. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendations to determine if a primer is needed for your specific application.

5. Application:

• Begin applying QUICSEAL 102 following these guidelines: a. Start at one end and work your way to the other, maintaining a consistent pace to ensure a seamless application. b. Apply the product evenly, ensuring a uniform thickness throughout. c. Overlap strokes to guarantee comprehensive coverage. d. Pay particular attention to seams, corners, and any areas that may be prone to water ingress. e. Allow each coat to dry for the specified recoat time (6-8 hours).

6. Multiple Coats:

• QUICSEAL 102 typically requires a 2-coat application for optimal waterproofing performance. Make sure to apply the second coat following the same principles as the first coat.

7. Overlapping:

• When applying the second coat, ensure that it overlaps the first coat to create a continuous and seamless waterproofing membrane.

8. Drying Time:

• Allow the final coat to dry for an additional 12-18 hours before subjecting it to pedestrian traffic or any other load.

9. Quality Control:

• Perform a thorough inspection of the completed waterproofing application to identify any inconsistencies, areas of concern, or potential defects.

10. Health & Safety:

• Always wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves and goggles during application to ensure your safety.
• In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with clean water.
• If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
• Ensure that the area of application is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of fumes.
• Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for comprehensive information regarding health and safety measures.

11. Project-Specific Considerations:

• Be aware of any project-specific requirements or conditions that may necessitate adjustments to the application process.
