APPLICATION
Concrete Surfaces
•  Can be primed with Ultraprime or PrimeX. Allow the primer to dry before application of the membrane
Timber Surfaces
• This applies to solid timber floors, ply and particle board flooring. Prime the surface with Ultraprime. Allow the primer to dry before application of the membrane
Compressed Fibre Cement
• This should be primed using PrimeX. Allow the primer to dry before application of the membrane. Refer to the PrimeX Data Sheet for instructions
Bond Breaker – Abelrod
• When using Abelrod gap filler as a bond breaker, prime the surface first as per instructions. Allow to dry
• Place Abelrod gap filler along all wall / floor and rapid junctions and secure into place with polyethylene / polypropylene tape
• When using K5 Bond Breaker, apply the bead into the corner and smooth out to form a 12mm cove in the corner
• Allow to cure for 24 hours before subsequent application of membrane
General Application
•Davco K10 Plus Plus requires no mixing. Apply directly from the pail. Use a thick brush or a short nap roller to apply the first coat of Davco K10 Plus on the area to be waterproofed
• Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 1-2 hours before applying the 2nd coat at 90° to the first coat. Ensure there are no pinholes or air bubbles on the membrane surface
• Apply a third coat only if necessary or required to do so
• Allow the final coat to dry for at least 6 hours before tiling (according to temperature conditions). This gives an overall drying time of 6-8 hours for the full application
Note: The lower the temperature, the slower the drying time of the membrane
Drain Application
• The drainage flange should ideally be recessed into the substrate and a bead of K5 Bond Breaker sealant placed around the circumference. The drainage flange should be lightly sanded before priming with plumbers primer
• Apply the first coat of K10 Plus in and around the drain and allow to dry for approximately 1-2 hours at 20°C
• Apply a second coat in and around the drain ensuring no pinholes or air bubbles are present on the membrane surface. If necessary apply a third coat
Ponding
• If pond testing is required, ensure the membrane is allowed to cure for a minimum of 5 days before pond testing
Clean-up & Return to Service
• Tools and excess K10 Plus can be cleaned up with water while it is still wet
