The TekCryl Acrylic Roofing Waterproofing Leak Roof Repair Kit is designed for DIYers and professionals needing a quick and durable solution for roof leaks and damage. Its key benefit is immediate showerproofing and excellent crack-filling capabilities, even in damp conditions. A primary caveat is its unsuitability for balconies or walkways. This cold-applied product is ready to use, applied with a brush or roller, and provides a flexible, waterproof membrane suitable for felt, bitumen, steel, wood, and concrete on pitched and flat roofs.

Yes, TekCryl is compatible with and can be applied directly over existing roofing felt to repair damage or leaks.
TekCryl becomes immediately showerproof upon application, meaning it can withstand rain shortly after being applied.
TekCryl is fibre-reinforced and excellent for filling cracks and gaps. For very large holes, it is recommended to use a backing material in conjunction with TekCryl for maximum support and durability.
TekCryl is designed as a final waterproofing layer and is not typically intended to be painted over. Its primary function is protection and repair.
When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, TekCryl typically has a shelf life of 12 months.
Yes, TekCryl can be used on vertical sections of roofs, such as flashings or parapet walls, provided they are structurally sound.
No, TekCryl is a ready-to-use product and does not require a primer for most compatible substrates. Ensure the surface is clean and dry (or damp, as per instructions) for optimal adhesion.
Ensure the product is at ambient temperature. Stir thoroughly. If still very thick, slight warming (without heating directly) may help, but do not overheat.
TekCryl cures by air drying. Ensure the applied layer is not excessively thick, as this can prolong drying time. Avoid applying in extremely cold or humid conditions if possible. Check that the product has not expired.
Ensure the surface was clean and free of dust, grease, or loose material before application. Reapply TekCryl to a clean, prepared section of the substrate.
This is normal for this type of product. While it affects the aesthetic, it does not typically compromise the waterproofing performance. Apply a second, smoother coat if a more uniform finish is desired.
Setup:
TekCryl is ready to use directly from the container. Ensure the product is at ambient temperature before application. Stir thoroughly if any separation has occurred.
Compatibility:
TekCryl is compatible with a variety of common roofing substrates including:
It is suitable for both pitched and flat roofs. It is not suitable for balconies or walkways due to its flexibility and potential for abrasion.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean and free from loose debris, moss, or lichen. Minor dampness is acceptable, but standing water should be removed if possible. For larger cracks or holes, a backing material may be useful, though the fibre reinforcement offers significant gap-filling properties.
Application:
Apply using a stiff brush or a roller. For best results, apply in a continuous layer, ensuring full coverage over the damaged area and extending at least 10-15 cm beyond the perimeter of the defect. For significant cracks, apply a layer of TekCryl, embed a reinforcing scrim (if available and recommended by manufacturer), and then apply a second coat.
Care:
Once applied, TekCryl requires minimal ongoing care. Periodically inspect the repaired areas for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather events. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the product's integrity.
