IMPORTANT
Flood Paste in a Cartridge is the base coat for your first layer of protection. Use a gloved finger, Flex Gap Filler tool, or similar tool to push into all seams and openings to help create a watertight seal. Always be cautious of any sharp objects that may cause injury.
Apply Paste
Using a putty knife, remove an even layer of Flood Paste from the tray.
Push a firm even coat of our Flood Paste directly into the crack or opening, as well as the surrounding area of the crack or hole.
Inspect for gaps or voids that may have been missed, making sure both the crack and surrounding wall are well-covered.
Additional Layers
If you applied Flood Protection Paste in thin, even layers, you should expect it to be dry to the touch in two to six hours. Next, we recommend applying additional coats of our Flood Protection Paste as needed.
Follow the same application process as the first layer, but each individual coat that you apply should be wider and overlap the previous layer of Flood Protection Paste.
Once the cracks and holes have been sealed and are completely dry, and you already have multiple layers of Flood Protection Paste, we recommend using our Flood Protection Liquid as an additional layer of protection.
When applying our Flood Protection Liquid, use your brush and apply it directly on top of our Flood Protection Paste, making sure you overlap your final coat — this will help cover any pinholes or openings that you can't see.
Remember you want to make sure all the flood protection products are fully cured before a flood arrives.
