Application
Surface preparation
Surfaces should preferably be as dry as possible. Emergency patch repairs can however be successfully completed to surfaces with running water. Remove any loose material and dirt. Very porous, dry surfaces should be primed with Watco Roofite diluted with 25% white spirit. A wire brush should be used to remove all traces of moss etc. A fungicide may be required for heavily contaminated surfaces. Specialist advice must be sought when dealing with old asbestos/cement roofs.
Application
The coating should be applied generously by brush at the rate of 1m² per kilo. If a second coat is required it should be applied at right angles to the first coat. Do not brush out to a thin film.
