Apply Vapor Shield with a pump sprayer in conjunction with water, back to back. Repeat for a total of 2 coats. Allow 24 hours to dry.
Apply Scratch Kote 2000 with a hopper gun, pressure sprayer or a ¾”-1¼” nap roller. Applied material should peak, not slump.
Stir with hand paddle. Roll, brush or spray Mulasticoat over the area to be waterproofed in two (2) coats. Embed Polyester Stitch Bond Fabric immediately during the application of the first coat over all flashing, plane changes, and joints and apply additional material on top of it. Allow to dry thoroughly between coats.
Apply Krete Kote or Top Coat in 2 steps: a base coat, and a texture coat. Apply a smooth thin layer with a trowel, sprayer or magic trowel and allow to dry. Then apply a texture on top top desired aesthetic look.
Apply the diluted COLORSEAL with nap roller for the 1st coat with very firm pressure. (1/2” nap roller for smooth and 3/4” nap roller for rough surfaces). Allow a minimum of one (1) hour to dry. For the 2nd coat, apply at full strength. Airless sprayers may be used for the 2nd and final coat. Allow final coat a minimum of 24 hours before placing area into use. Will fully cure in 14 days, during which care should be exercised against excessive abuse.

A: We recommend embedding a material called Polyester Stitch Bond Fabric into the first coat of Mulasticoat to act as a reinforcement material for high movement areas. It is an inexpensive way to ensure security and rigidity in areas that may be subject to extreme movement over time.
