Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
TekCryl is ready to use directly from the container. Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry (or damp, as it can be applied in damp conditions), and free from loose debris, moss, or algae. For best adhesion on very smooth or glossy surfaces, a light abrasion may be beneficial. Stir the product thoroughly before application to ensure the fibres are evenly distributed.
Compatibility:
TekCryl is compatible with a wide range of building materials including:
- Roofing felt
- Bitumen (asphalt)
- Steel
- Wood
- Concrete
- Asbestos
*Important Note*: TekCryl is *not* suitable for use on balconies or walkways where foot traffic occurs.
Care and Maintenance:
Once applied and cured, TekCryl requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the roof for any new damage or wear. Clean the treated area gently with water if needed. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
Application Method:
- Apply using a stiff brush or a medium-pile roller.
- For crack filling, apply generously to ensure the material penetrates and bridges the gap.
- For larger areas, apply in even coats.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats if multiple are needed. It becomes showerproof on application.
Storage:
Store in the original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product quality.
