FAQs

Can Tekcryl be applied in cold weather?

Tekcryl can be applied in damp conditions and is unaffected by temperature once cured. However, application is generally recommended when temperatures are above 5°C for optimal handling and adhesion.

How long does Tekcryl take to dry?

Tekcryl is immediately showerproof upon application. Full curing time will vary depending on temperature and humidity but typically achieves its full durability within 24-48 hours.

Can I apply Tekcryl over existing bitumen coatings?

Yes, Tekcryl is suitable for application on bitumen substrates.

Is Tekcryl suitable for foot traffic?

No, Tekcryl is not suitable for balconies or walkways where foot traffic will occur.

What is the coverage rate of Tekcryl?

Coverage varies depending on the substrate and application thickness. A general guideline is approximately 1-2 square meters per litre for a single coat, but two coats are often recommended for optimal performance, especially when bridging cracks.

How do I clean up application tools?

Clean brushes, rollers, and other tools with water immediately after use. Dried product will be difficult to remove.

Does Tekcryl need a primer?

Tekcryl is designed for direct application onto most common roofing substrates. However, for very porous surfaces or to enhance adhesion on difficult materials, a compatible primer may be considered.

Troubleshooting

Product is too thick to apply

Ensure the product has been stored correctly and has not been exposed to extreme temperatures. Stir thoroughly. If still very stiff, a *small* amount of water can be added, but avoid over-diluting.

Poor adhesion to substrate

Ensure the substrate was clean and free from dust, grease, or algae. For non-porous surfaces, a primer might be necessary. Ensure application temperature is within recommended limits (typically above 5°C).

Cracks appearing after application

This may indicate the substrate is experiencing excessive movement or temperature extremes beyond the product's flexibility limits. Ensure adequate thickness has been applied and the substrate is stable.

Product not fully curing

Ensure application conditions are suitable (temperature and humidity). Thick applications may take longer to cure. Ensure adequate ventilation if applied internally within structures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply with brush or roller.
  • Can be applied in damp conditions.
  • Instantly showerproof after application.
  • Fills and bridges cracks effectively.
  • Adheres to a wide range of roofing materials.
  • Low odour and low VOCs for user comfort.

Cons

  • Not suitable for use on balconies or walkways.
  • Requires a 5kg container, which might be large for very small repairs.
  • Requires a curing time for full hardening (though immediately showerproof).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

TekCryl is a ready-to-use product. Ensure the container is stored upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Before application, stir the contents thoroughly to ensure a consistent texture.

Compatibility:

TekCryl is suitable for application on a wide range of common roofing substrates including:

  • Felt
  • Bitumen
  • Steel
  • Wood
  • Concrete
  • Asbestos

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry (or damp, as permissible), and free from loose debris or contaminants. For best results on porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be beneficial, though TekCryl is formulated for direct application.

Care:

After application, allow the product to cure fully. While it is immediately showerproof, it achieves its maximum durability and performance over time. Clean application tools with water immediately after use. Store any unused product in its original, tightly sealed container.
