Lava Detail 20

Surface Preparation/ Priming For highly absorbent surfaces such as concrete, cement screed, or wood, use Lava 20 Fast Primer or Lava 20 Epoxy Primer. For non-absorbent surfaces like metal, ceramic tiles, and old coatings, apply Lava 20 Epoxy Primer. Bitumen, asphalt felts, and acrylic coatings should also be primed with Lava 20 Epoxy Primer. </br>   Detail Waterproofing Membrane Before using, thoroughly and carefully stir Lava Detail 20 with a wooden staff. Don't use a power drill. Use a 10 cm wide brush to evenly apply the Lava Detail 20 to the prepared and/or primed surface. Apply a second layer 18 to 36 hours later. Always reinforce with chopped strand matting/ polyester tape. Apply a correctly cut piece of chopped strand matting/ polyester tape to the still-wet Lava Detail 20, press it to soak, and then saturate it once more with sufficient Lava Detail 20 to complete the task. </br> ATTENTION: Avoid using the Lava Detail 20 on surfaces that are below +5°C during application and for 4 hours following, on frozen surfaces, in the rain or mist, on wet Lava Detail 20 Primer, or on surfaces with rising humidity. High temperatures hasten curing while low temperatures delay it. Finishing Apply one or two layers of the Lava 20 Top Coat on top of the Lava Detail 20 to create a surface that is color stable and free from chalking. If a dark final color is desired, the application of the Lava 20 Coloured Top-Coat is especially necessary. Alternately, to protect against UV rays and improve the end result optically, suitable aggregate can be broadcast over the final (second) layer of the Lava Detail 20 while it is still wet, until full saturation. Please refer to the various finishing application techniques' technical instructions or get in touch with us. </br> WARNING: Wet conditions make the Lava Detail 20 and/or Lava 20 System slippery. Sprinkle appropriate aggregates onto the still-wet coating to create an anti-slip surface to prevent slipperiness on rainy days. Please contact our technical dept. for more information.
