Concrete substrates. (Reservoirs, floors, roofs, showers, pools, ponds {Fish, Koi etc.}

Treating a hairline crack

Clean the substrate with a firm brush provided down to it’s original condition. Wipe away all loose dust and ensure the surface is

dry.( If hairline cracks are visible don’t do anything special to them.)

Mix sufficient of the powder and the liquid together in the 5 Lt. rectangular container provided to do the area you are about to treat.

Add the powder to the liquid whilst stirring ensuring there are no lumps.

The mixing ratio for this coating is 2 Powders to one liquid by volume. The entire packet of powder and whole bottle of liquid can

Cover, in this way, about 5 square meters applying 2 coats. Use pro-rata measurements for smaller areas.

First work into the crack with the paint brush provided the mixture. Allow to dry (About 30 minutes on a sunny day)

Then paint one coat of the mixture over the length of the crack about 50 mm wide.

Wait for about 30 minutes for that coat to dry.

Apply a second coat over the first coat.

Please remember that once mixed, the mixture has a limited pot life. So mix only enough to treat the specific task you are

Undertaking.

 

Treating a larger crack.

With a chisels edge, screw driver or other sharp metal edge, open the crack in a “V” shape about 10 mm wide and 10 mm deep.

Brush away loose dirt. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.

Mix 1 part of powder with one part of the silica provided and about one quarter part of the white liquid plastic to make a paste.

Work, with the spatula provided, this paste into the opened crack. Smooth over with the spatula. Allow to dry (About 30 minutes)

With the sand paper provided sand down the dried paste to provide a smooth surface flush with the surrounds.

Apply 2 coats of Aqua-Mite paint mixture (2 powders to one liquid by volume) over the treated crack one at a time allowing drying

time in between.

 

Treating a large crack where the substrate is weak.

Proceed as with the larger crack above up the point where you have smoothed over the dried paste with sand paper.

Cut a piece of membrane from the roll provided about 100 mm longer than the crack.

Mix some Aqua-Mite paint mixture (2 powders to one liquid by volume) and paint a thick coating as wide and as long as the

membrane you’ve just cut over the repaired crack. Whilst the Aqua-Mite paint is wet, stick the membrane over the repaired crack

into place using the Aqua-Mite as an adhesive. Iron out all the folds and bubbles in the membrane. Paint 2 coats of Aqua-Mite

paint mixture over the entire membrane that has been stuck in place, allowing for drying time between coats.

 

Plastic tanks (Cracked)

At each end of the crack make or drill a small hole about 3 mm in dia.to prevent the crack from running.

Then with the sand paper provided roughen up (Key) the area to be treated. About a 100 mm longer than the crack and as wide

as the membrane. Brush away loose dirt. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Mix sufficient of the powder and the liquid together

in the 5 Lt. rectangular container provided to do the area you are about to treat.

Add the powder to the liquid whilst stirring ensuring there are no lumps.

The mixing ratio for this coating is 2 Powders to one liquid by volume. The entire packet of powder and whole bottle of liquid can

Cover, in this way, about 5 square meters applying 2 coats. Use pro-rata measurements for smaller areas.

First work into the crack, with the paint brush provided, the mixture. Allow to dry (About 30 minutes on a sunny day)

Then paint one coat of the mixture over the length of the crack about 50 mm wide.

Wait for about 30 minutes for that coat to dry.Apply a second coat over the first coat.Please remember that once mixed, the mixture

has a limited pot life. So mix only enough to treat the specific task you are Undertaking.

Mix some Aqua-Mite paint mixture (2 powders to one liquid by volume) and paint a thick coating as wide and as long as the

membrane you’ve just cut over the primed crack. Whilst the Aqua-Mite paint is wet, stick the membrane over the crack

into place using the Aqua-Mite as an adhesive. Iron out all the folds and bubbles in the membrane. Paint 2 coats of Aqua-Mite

paint mixture over the entire membrane that has been stuck in place, allowing for drying time between coats.

If possible repair the crack on the INSIDE of the tank.

 

Joints, seems, cracks, overlaps, holes or other specific leaks in any substrate

Proceed as with repairing a crack in a plastic tank except don’t drill any holes at each end of the crack.(If there is one)

In so far as exterior surfaces are concerned work on the outside of the surface.

Remember to make sure any substrate onto which you are going to work must be clean and dry.

Three important rules top remember in coatings are preparation, preparation, preparation.

 

General waterproofing. (Metal, asbestos, tiles, concrete, plastic etc.

Onto any surface that is porous or leaking, first clean the entire substrate and make sure it is dry before applying the first coat of Aqua-

Mite mixture (Two parts of powder to one part of liquid by volume.)

Coat by brush or roller application the whole surface with brush or roller movements

in one direction.  A second coat of Aqua-Mite is then applied after the first has had a chance to dry by applying with brush or roller

at a 90 deg. angle to the first coat. 

Don’t work if it is going to rain or if the surface is wet.

Do dampen with water any concrete surface slightly before applying any mixed Aqua-Mite. Clean equipment with ordinary water.
