Troubleshooting
Product peeling or failing to adhere
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry) and that SEAL IT PRIMER was used on bitumen or felt surfaces. Check that the 5-day application window between the sealer and liquid membrane was not exceeded.
Sealer remains wet after 8 hours
This may be due to excessive application thickness, low temperatures, or high humidity. Allow additional drying time in favorable conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Cracks reappear after applying liquid membrane
The sealer may not have been applied deeply enough into the cracks, or the substrate may have experienced significant movement beyond the material's flexibility. Ensure thorough filling of all cracks.
