Application:

Apply by brush or roller at a coverage rate that gives a uniform dry film coating. BITUTHENE® waterproof membranes can be applied to the primed substrate as soon as the primer is ‘touch dry’. Do not apply BITUTHENE® waterproof membranes to primed substrates whilst the primer is still wet. On highly porous substrates two coats may be necessary. Ensure no spillages onto other waterproofing products. There is no need to prime substrates prior to the application of BITUTHENE® LM detailing compound.
