Dura-Rubber Reinforcement Fabric
Applying Dura-Rubber Reinforcement Fabric correctly ensures added strength and durability in areas that require extra reinforcement, such as cracks, seams, or transitions. Follow these steps for proper application:
Materials Needed:
• Dura-Rubber Liquid Rubber Coating
• Dura-Rubber Reinforcement Fabric
• Brush or roller
• Utility knife or scissors
• Mixing stick (if needed)
• Gloves and protective gear
Application Steps:
1. Surface Preparation
• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and debris.
• If applying over cracks or seams, make sure they are properly sealed.
2. First Coat of Dura-Rubber
• Apply a generous base coat of Dura-Rubber to the area where the fabric will be placed.
• Use a brush or roller for even coverage.
3. Embed the Fabric
• While the first coat is still wet, lay the reinforcement fabric onto the coated area.
• Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles using a brush or roller.
• Ensure the fabric is fully embedded in the wet coating.
4. Second Coat of Dura-Rubber
• Once the fabric is in place, immediately apply another coat of Dura-Rubber over the fabric.
• Ensure full saturation of the fabric, covering it completely.
• Allow this layer to dry according to product guidelines.
5. Additional Coats (If needed)
• For extra strength, apply additional coats after the previous one dries (usually 4-6 hours between coats).
• Continue applying until the fabric is fully encapsulated.
6. Curing Time
• Allow 24-48 hours for full curing before exposing the surface to moisture or heavy use.
This method reinforces weak areas and enhances the waterproofing properties of Dura-Rubber, making it ideal for pools, roofs, decks, and other surfaces requiring extra durability.
