• Clean the side walls properly as per recommendation.

• Apply 1 coat priming of WS alkali Bloc primer/ Dulux Professional WS E1000 Sealer as per

recommended dilution or a self-priming coat of Dulux Aquatech Damprotect Basecoat with 30% dilution.

• Post Drying apply 1 coat of Dulux Aquatech Damprotect Basecoat without dilution and allow for 6-8 hrs of drying.

• Post Drying apply 2 coats of Dulux Weathershield Protect or Dulux Professional WS E1000, Dulux Weathershield Max or Dulux Professional WS Elastomeric, Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx or Dulux Professional WS Flexx, with recommended dilution.

• Please ensure 6-8 hours of drying between the 2 coats. Proper film thickness is essential for the water proofing. Therefore it is important that Dulux Aquatech Damprotect Coverage shouldn’t exceed 40-45 sq.ft/Lit.

performance.
