It is required to apply a primer on the prepared surface. For these purposes, experts recommend the use of polymer primer composition "blockade". It can be diluted with water to an optimum consistency.

The last stage - applying waterproofing. For these purposes, you can use a construction roller, a brush with a hard pile, or an airbrush (recommended for increasing productivity when carrying out large-scale work). It is recommended to apply waterproofing in dry weather.

"Blockade" must be applied in several layers. Each of them must be at least 1 mm thick. The subsequent layer must be applied perpendicular to the previous one. Also, before the next treatment you need to wait for the complete polymerization of the composition. This will take at least 24 hours.
