A-1 & A-2. Application/Installation steps:
Apply 1st coat of AQUAFIN-2K/M, extending min. 3/4” (20 mm) beyond either side of tape. Instantly embed JOINT SEALING TAPE or CRACK SEALING TAPE uniformly into 1st coat of AQUAFIN-2K/M, leaving no wrinkles. Let 1st coat cure minimum 4-6 hrs and assure that the TAPE is fully bonded before starting the next step. Cover JOINT SEALING TAPE or CRACK SEALING TAPE with 2nd coat of AQUAFIN-2K/M (same or next day) and smooth the surface with a damp brush. Note: Use JOINT SEALING TAPE-2000-S for areas subject to movement. Coating 2K/M over the exposed tape will most likely break. However, tape will not leak.
Note: If necessary protect tape from mechanical damage. However, be aware that 2K/M top coat may crack due to larger movement of tape, not affecting the waterproofing process of the tape.
