- } Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning, washing and removing dust, dirt, oil, grease and loose particles.
- } In existing old terraces with brickbat coba or screeds, the substrate must be checked for its soundness.
- Damaged or hollow portions, sharp edges, etc. must be cut and removed till the mother slab. The slab should be recoated with slurry of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP and cement in 1:1 proportion. After drying, the brick bat coba in that portion should be reinstated by mixing Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP in the base slurry as well as while doing the top coba. In other areas, where the coba is sound, the surface cracks must be filled with Dr. Fixit. Crack-X or polymer-modified mortar in case cracks are wider than 5 mm.
- } Cracks less than 2 mm, should be cleaned free of dust with a vacuum cleaner.
- Apply Dr. Fixit Primeseal in the crack and let it dry. Then pour Dr. Fixit Newcoat into these cracks and wait for it to dry.
- } Ensure that the roof slope of a minimum of 1 in 100, is already provided.
- } Bitumen based waterproofing treatments if existing, must be completely removed by mechanical scarification or by any other effective mechanical means.
