Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be sound and free of spalled areas, loose nails, screws,
sharp protrusions, or other matter that will hinder the adhesion of the
membrane installation. The surface should also be free from frost, dirt,
grease, oil, or other contaminants. Clean loose dust and dirt from the
surface by brushing or wiping with a clean, dry cloth, brush, or broom.
Concrete
Should be cured in place 28 days minimum. All surfaces need to be
smooth, with sharp protrusions such as cold joints ground flush.
Honeycomb and holes/cracks exceeding 1/8”and up to 5/8” across shall
be filled with Blue Max® Trowel Grade or Blue Max® Caulk.
Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU)
Mortar joints shall be struck flush and free of voids exceeding 1/8”
across. Mortar droppings shall be removed from brick ties and all other
surfaces accepting Blue Max® White Liquid Rubber Waterproofer
Membrane and accessories. Allow mortar joints to dry a minimum of 28
days prior to application of the Blue Max® White and accessories. The
exposure duration or exposure conditions as required by the concrete
manufacturer.
Application Methods
Apply between 50° - 90° F on a warm dry surface. Surface temperature
must be 5° F higher than the dew point and rising
