How to Apply Dr. Fixit Raincoat Neo (Step-by-Step)

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is free from dust, loose paint, and algae. Repair all major cracks (over 0.5mm) using a suitable crack filler. Wash the surface and allow it to dry completely.

3. First Coat: Apply the first undiluted coat using a roller or brush. Allow it to dry for 4-6 hours.
4. Second Coat: Apply the second undiluted coat to ensure the required film thickness and crack-bridging capability are achieved.
5. Curing: Allow the coating to cure for at least 7 days to develop full waterproofing and elastic properties. A robust application is key for long-term protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Dr. Fixit Raincoat Neo considered a paint or a waterproofing membrane?
A: It is both. It is formulated as a waterproofing membrane that is pigmented like paint, providing a decorative finish with functional elastic properties.
