Methods of Application

SURFACE PREPARATION

• Wash the surface thoroughly using water and a strong brush. Remove all loosely bound sand particles, neroo or instant lime, POP, black spots, fungus, moss on moisture captured walls and any poorly adhering painted surface.
• If the surface under the existing paint is weak, it should be stripped, and removed.
• Entire surface should be in a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to the application of Dr. Fixit Sureseal.
• Non-structural hairline cracks less than 1mm should be cleaned and free of dust. Apply or pour Dr. Fixit Sureseal on to the cracks and wait for it to dry.
• Cracks > 1mm and < 5mm should be filled with a Dr. Fixit Crack-X Paste and allowed to cure.
• If the existing plaster is in very poor condition, repair the concerned area from the positive side to stop the source of dampness.
• For repairs of plaster, brush apply a single coat of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP over the clean surface as a bond coat in the ratio of 1:1 (URP: Cement) by volume. To repair the surface, prepare a polymer modified mortar in the ratio Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP : Cement : Water – 1 : 3 : 2 by weight. Apply this mortar when the bond coat of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP is in a tacky condition.
