SPECIFICATION
- ASTM D-4479 Type I
- SSA-694d
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease, release agents, laitance, dirt, dust and debris. All cracks and pin holes should be repaired and filled with Karnak #86AF Trowel Mastic prior to coating. If the surface is very porous, it is recommended that Karnak #108 Asphalt Primer be utilized to provide a firm film base prior to coating with Karnak #83AF Fibered Dampproofing.
APPLICATION
