How to Use Asian Paints SmartCare Damp Block 2K
To ensure a watertight warranty, follow these critical application steps:
- Surface Preparation: Clean the surface with a wire brush. For interior walls, strip plaster to the brick level for best results.
- Pre-Wetting: Dampen the wall to a “Saturated Surface Dry” (SSD) condition.
- Mixing: Use a mechanical mixer. Do not dilute with water.
- Application: Apply two coats. The second coat must be perpendicular (cross-direction) to the first.
Note: If you are treating a roof, the application is different. Read our guide on how to apply Asian Paints SmartCare Damp Proof for elastomeric roof protection.
