How many coats and how much do I need?

Minimum 2 coats at a total minimum coverage of 1.5 L/m² wet, giving a 1mm dry film thickness. A 15L pail covers approximately 10 m².

How long before I can tile or flood test?

Recoat after 1 hour, tile or apply toppings after 4 hours, flood test after 24 hours (at 23°C / 50% RH). Allow longer in cool or humid conditions.

Apply by brush, roller or spray. Second coat must run in the opposite direction to the first. Use a wet film gauge to verify coverage.

What substrates can I use it on?

Concrete, render, masonry, compressed fibre cement sheeting, plasterboard, wet area timber sheeting, external grade plywood, aerated concrete panels and blocks. Prime porous substrates with Gripset GP first.

Is it certified for wet areas?

Yes – compliant to AS 4858 (internal wet areas) and AS 4654.1 (external above-ground waterproofing).

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes. It is water based, solvent free, non-toxic and non-flammable, making it suited to confined bathroom and interior spaces.
