general recommended guidelines for the
application of the self adhesive waterproofing
systemisasfollows:
Surfacepreparation
the surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all
contaminants like dust, traces of curing
compound, oil and grease. All surface
imperfections, protrusions, structurally unsound
and friable concrete must be removed and
repairedwithasuitablepolyCREtE*concreterepair
mortar.
