Method Of Application:

1) SURFACE PREPARATION

• Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning, washing and removing dust, dirt, oil, grease and loose particles.
• In existing old terraces with brickbat coba or screeds, the substrate must be checked for its soundness.Damaged or hollow portions, sharp edges, etc. must be cut and removed till the mother slab. The slab should
  be recoated with slurry of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP and cement in 1:1 proportion. After drying, the brick bat coba
  in that portion should be reinstated by mixing Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP in the base slurry as well as while doing
  the top coba.
• In areas, where the coba is sound, the surface cracks must be filled with Dr. Fixit Crack-X or polymer-modified
  mortar in case cracks are wider than 5 mm should be repair using of Dr. Fixit MPB / URP.
• Ensure that the roof slope of a minimum of 1 in 100, is already provided.
• Bitumen based waterproofing treatments if existing, must be completely removed by mechanical scarification
  or by any other effective mechanical means. 

2) APPLICATION

• Dilute 2 parts of Dr. Fixit Primeseal with 1 one part of water. This dilution will cover 7 to 8 sq.mt. Allow it to dry
  for 6 to 8 hrs.
• Apply 1st coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat at the rate of 2 sq. mt. per litre (Make grid lines of 1 mtr by 1 mtr on the
  surface with chalk for measuring application coat of 2 sq. mt.)
• An open woven glass fibre mesh of 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm must be sandwiched between the first and second coat.
  While the 1st coat is still wet, place the fibre mesh on it.
• Dr. Fixit Newcoat to be applied with brush or roller in one direction only. Check to see no void surface is left
  untreated / uncoated. Allow the first coat to dry for 6-8 hours.
•  Apply second coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat with the same application coverage. Application direction of second
  coat should be perpendicular to that of the first coat. Check to see no void surface is left uncoated with
  second coat. Allow second coat to dry for 6-8 hours.
• Apply third coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat at an application direction that is perpendicular to that of the second
  coat with same application coverage rate. Check to see no void surface is left untreated / uncoated. All coats
  should be applied in direction perpendicular to each other.
• The sequence of colours of Dr. Fixit Newcoat can be decided depending on the desired topcoat colour.
• In case only two colours are being used, ensure that the colour of the first and the third coat are the same.
  This would ensure correct consumption of material that will deliver a total DFT of 1 mm.
• Drying time between coats will be 6 to 8 hrs.
• Allow the system to air cure for 7 days minimum. A total thickness of 1 mm must be achieved when Dr. Fixit
  Newcoat is dry.
• 7 days after application of Dr. Fixit Newcoat, it should be checked for its adhesion to the substrate. For this,
  mark a square of 5 cm x 5 cm, for every 200 sq. m of the area.
• Cut the square with a knife diagonally across the square. Rip the coating and check the coating’s thickness
  with vernier callipers, to see if the dry film has an average thickness of 1 mm. Once these tests are done,
  reapply Newcoat over these portions, in accordance with the regular procedure.
