TBS. For smooth surface poured concrete walls, the proper thickness application will yieid ' <br /> a coverage rate not to exceed 25 square feet per gallon (sf/gal). For brick pattern (decorative) <br /> poured walls, the proper thickness application will yield a maximum coverage rate of 18 sf/gal. � <br /> The maximum coverage rate on block walls should not exceed 20 sf/gal. Coverage rates may <br /> be lower depending on the porosity of the block, parged block, or poured concrete walls. It is the <br /> contractor's responsibility to ensure that 40 cured mils are on the exterior of the vertical wall ' <br /> when the waterproofing is completed. <br /> 5. Careful attention must be taken during the application process to ensure a consistent, ' <br /> homogeneous membrane. For best results, apply TUFF-N-DRI Membrane using a two-coat <br /> technique utilizing a tack coat on an entire wall and a second coat to build up to the required <br /> wet mil thickness. A tack coat will reduce bubbling and pin holing caused by poured concrete ' <br /> walis curing and out-gassing. An applicator may choose to spray the TUFF-N-DRI Membrane in <br /> one coat. This type of application must be carefully completed to ensure no thin spots. A <br /> one-coat application will be more prone to bubbling and pin holing on poured concrete walls. � <br /> 6. Inspect the sprayed wall thoroughly for pin holing, voids or thin spots. Lightly re-spray any areas ' <br /> requiring additional milage to the correct thickness for the substrate. <br /> 7. After application, applicator must verify that: , <br /> a.Adequate foundation drainage system is installed (See Drainage Requirements) <br /> b. All penetrations (water, sewer, etc) have been properly sealed. <br /> c. Backfill does not exceed the level of the waterproofing membrane. � <br /> d.Grade slopes away from the foundation. <br /> e. 40 cured mils are on the wall. <br /> f. Backfill does not occur until the TUFF-N-DRI Membrane is fully cured. ' <br /> 8. The waterproofing contractor or applicator may pass the responsibilities in number 7 on to the <br /> builder or general contractor, and ensure that the builder or general contractor is aware of these , <br /> responsibilities, should they da so. <br /> 9. To waterproof penetrations, the voids around the penetration must be filled with hydraulic � <br /> cement, non-shrinking grout or vinyl concrete patch. The penetration area must then be sealed <br /> with an additional coating of TUFF-N-DRI Membrane or a urethane liquid membrane. <br /> WARM-N-DRI / TUFF-N-DRI Barrier Board Installation ' <br /> 1. Applying the board at the correct time is essential to ensure good adhesion to the TUFF-N-DRI ' <br /> Membrane. The board must be set as the membrane begins to cure. The proper timing for this <br /> will vary. <br /> 2. To install the board, place the bottom of the board on the footing at the footing/wall joint and , <br /> press firmly. Slowly work your way up to the top of the board carefully pressing the board onto <br /> the membrane. Take special care not to slide the board. The board may appear to be loose, but ' <br /> as the membrane cures, it will draw the board in resulting in excellent adhesion between the <br /> board and the membrane. If the board falls off, check the integrity of the membrane and re-spray <br /> to 60 mils wet if needed. It may be necessary to spray a mist of TUFF-N-DRI membrane on the ' <br /> wall to increase adhesion. <br /> 3. Place the board around the foundation in the same direction as the membrane was applied. All ' <br /> boards should be checked before leaving the job site. When the WARM-N-DRI Board or <br /> ' <br />
