Step 1 : Surface Preparation
Ensure surface is thoroughly clean, dry and free from all loose dirt, chalk, grease, fungi, algae and flaking paint. This can be achieved by brushing with a wire/stiff coir brush, followed by water jetting if required. Use Dulux Aquatech Pre Treatment Coat to ensure that algae and fungi are removed from the roots.

Application of putty is not recommended. Apply 1 self- priming coat of Dulux Aquatech DampProtect Basecoat with 30% dilution. Apply 1 coat of DampProtect basecoat without dilution as a waterproofing coat.
Dilute 1 liter of the paint with 400-500 ml of clean water for application. In case of dark colours, dilute with maximum of 250 ml of water to 1liter paint. Stir thoroughly before use. Apply 2-3 coats with an intermittent drying time of 4-6 hours
Normal Application :

Step 3 : Drying time
Touch dry for the paint is up to 30 minutes and allow 4-6 hours of drying time for recoating
