Full details

This Bostik Cementone Flexacryl roof coating is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional roofers needing to perform immediate, waterproof repairs on a variety of roof surfaces. Its primary benefit is the instant, one-coat application that works on both wet and dry surfaces, significantly reducing repair time. A minor caveat is that while it often eliminates the need for primer, specific surface preparations might still be necessary for optimal adhesion.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this product be applied over existing roof coatings like bitumen?

Yes, it is compatible with asphalt and bituminous roof coatings, providing a new waterproof layer.

Do I need to use a primer before applying?

In most cases, the advanced formula allows application on wet or dry surfaces without a primer. However, for certain porous or difficult surfaces, a primer might still be recommended for optimal adhesion.

How long does it take to dry?

The drying time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and surface conditions. It is rain-resistant once dry to touch, but full curing takes longer. Refer to product packaging for specific drying times.

Is it suitable for use on vertical surfaces?

While designed for roofs, its flexibility and adhesion make it suitable for vertical repairs on compatible substrates, provided it is applied according to instructions.

What is the coverage rate for the 5kg tub?

Coverage varies based on the substrate's porosity and the application thickness. A general guideline for one coat is approximately 1-2 square meters per liter, so the 5kg tub should cover a significant area. Always consult the product data sheet for precise coverage.

Can I paint over this coating once it's dry?

This product is designed as a final waterproofing layer and is not typically intended for painting over. Check product specifications for compatibility with other finishes.

How should I store any leftover product?

Store in a cool, dry place in its original, tightly sealed container. Protect from frost and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Product not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean and free from dust, grease, or loose material. For very porous or contaminated surfaces, a primer may be necessary. Check application temperature and conditions.

Surface remains wet after application

This is normal; the product is designed to be applied to wet surfaces, but it needs time to cure fully. Ensure proper ventilation to aid drying. Avoid heavy rain immediately after application if possible.

Uneven finish

Ensure the product was stirred thoroughly before application. Apply in consistent, even strokes. If a second coat is necessary for coverage, wait for the first coat to be touch-dry according to manufacturer guidelines.

Product appears too thick to apply

Ensure the product has been stored correctly and is not old. If applied in very cold temperatures, it may thicken; try to apply in warmer conditions if possible. Stir vigorously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
