USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the fabric into the correct size.

Use a putty trowel to apply the fabric in the corners, around floor traps and penetrations.

If needed, leave an extra 5 to 7 cm to overlap the edges.

Apply the first layer of Penosil AquaBrake Fiber 640 hydro-insulating mastic according to product usage instructions. Press the fabric tightly into the fresh mastic. Avoid air bubbles.

Then cover the fabric with a second layer of mastic. Make sure the fabric is well immersed in the mastic.

Corners and joints:
To reinforce the inner corners, cut at least 20 cm wide strip of fabric. For joints, cut at least a 10cm wide strip of fabric.

Floor trap:
Around the bathroom trap, use a fabric at least 3 times the diameter of the opening, preferably two layers on top of each other.

Pipe penetration:
To reinforce the pipe penetrations, cut the fabric with a diameter of at least 3 times bigger than the opening. Cut a hole in the middle of the mesh tape that is 4 to 5 mm smaller than the penetrating tube diameter so that the edge of the fabric would cover the tube by 3 to 5mm.

TIPS

• Surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from any dust, loose particles and oil residues. Concrete, cement and plaster surfaces should be first primed with PENOSIL BetPrimer 603.
• Application temperature between +5°C and +40°C.
