For pedestrian waterproofing applications, we recommend our
rubber
aggregate for its resilience, flexibility, lower surface deck
temperature, low moisture absorption, excellent feel and wear.
For a
sanded finish on pedestrian decks, we recommend
#2/16
deck-coat sand. Its a fine grade which is washed and kiln dried
for the best quality sanded finish decks.
For
vehicular traffic areas, we recommend the coarser
#2/12
deck-coat sand for enhanced wear resistance and greater slip
resistance.

Note: Polycoat products is recommended
for
licensed & trained applicators. Our Sonoguard systems are easier to
use and suitable for less frequent applicators or skilled
do-it-yourselfers.
Where
substrate adhesion is questionable, primers should be used.
Primer-733 is an easy to use
one-component solvent based sealant primer for metal, wood and coated
surfaces. A favorite of many deck waterproofing contractors is
Polyprime 2180. Its a 2-part
epoxy-polyamine primer. For a easy to use on-component wood & concrete
primer, try
Primer-722. UNI-TILE SEALER is a
two-component, quick
drying epoxy-polyamide penetrating primer/sealer which penetrates and
seals porous surfaces to improve adhesion -- excellent on concrete and
pool decks.
Basic
Process for Waterproofing Balconies:
Please read all MSDS
sheets before using materials. These are available at manufactures web
sites. The illustrations below are intended as a general guide and not a replacement for
factory procedures. Single component systems need to be applied in
warmer weather (60F+ is best).
We recommend the Sonoguard deck
coating waterproofing
system together with rubber aggregate for new applicators. It is easier, faster and less prone to
problems than other systems. Rubber aggregate systems have many
benefits over sand (greater elasticity of finished system, cooler
decks, rubber does not sink into basecoat, topcoats last longer over
rubber, ease of repair and touch-ups). On the other hand, sand decks
will have a more consistent surface appearance.
Concrete Balconies (old or new) (wood decks
are below):
1. OLD Decks: Remove and scrape away
all old loose or cracked coatings, caulking
and sealants. It is especially important to remove ALL silicones
or silicone residues.
2. Pressure wash concrete, using 3000 psi minimum washer. Remove all
loose surface materials or old
coatings and any oil based stains. Let dry 1 to 2 days.
3. Be sure final the concrete surface has
some "texture". Smooth surfaces will need to be blasted to create a good
bonding surface. As an alternative, you will need to use epoxy 770
primer using a 1/4" nap phenolic core roller. (All new concrete must
be fully cured before work begins). Primers, if needed, are applied
just before base coat and only need to dry tack free.

4. Caulk & Seal: Prime surfaces using 733 primer before
caulking. Use NP-1 or Novalink to fill any big holes or cracks. Let
sealant cure 24-72 hours.

6. Bridge all deep field cracks,
joints and flashing areas by apply 4" white fiberglass
20x20 mesh tape embedded in Sonoguard basecoat or NP1 sealant. Use a 3-course process to hide
seams. This is much like taping a drywall joint wherein you taper
joint to adjacent surfaces.

7. Let NP-1 or basecoat / taped areas cure a minimum of 24
hours.
8. Blow off surface and work area using
a high power gas blower.
Gas Blower Product Info
9. Pre-mix Basecoat 5 minutes
with a drill and
mixer. Do
not whip air into coating. Apply Sonoguard Base Coat at 2-1/2
to 3 gallons per 100
sqft. using a 1/4" notched squeegee, then back-roll to smooth out
using a
phenolic core (solvent proof) 1/4" nap roller.
Hint: First apply basecoat to all
perimeter edge areas and up the edge of all flashings using a
disposable brush.
Hint: For
highly sloped surfaces order "Flash Slope" basecoat to prevent excess
running of basecoat.

10. Within about 20 minutes, while material is wet, broadcast rubber granules at rate of ~ 20 lbs per 100 sqft. (fully
cover all of base coat
with a full layer). Broadcast by throwing it out by hand.
Rubber Granule Info
IF
USING SAND: A second basecoat must be applied after the first
basecoat has cured, and the sand is broadcast into the 2nd layer. Do
not put sand into the first basecoat layer. The second layer only
needs to be thick enough to adhere sand (about 1 gallon per 100 sqft.)
11. Mark off area with Caution tape to keep off traffic during
cure periods. Wait 1 to 2 days for cure, depending on heat and humidity.
Base coat cure can be accelerated by misting with water.

12. When you are ready to begin
topcoat, broom way excess rubber. Then blow off the rest using
a high power gas blower.

13. Pre-mix Topcoat 5 minutes with a drill and
mixer. Do
not whip air into coating. Top Coat with Sonoguard Topcoat at 1-1/4 gallons per 100 sq.ft.
using
a
phenolic core (solvent proof) 1/4" nap roller and roll out of a
paint tray, being careful to get the excess of the roller before
applying (do not dip in the
bucket and roll on, you will apply too thick of coating). Do not
apply topcoat with excessive thickness. Pooling areas and too much
thickness can result in small blisters on hot days. ALL custom tinted
products need TWO topcoats. Standard Sonoguard pre-tinted topcoats will benefit
from a second coat. Most Polycoat System topcoats require two coats.
Hint: First
apply topcoat to all perimeter edge areas and up the edge of all
flashings using a disposable brush.
Hint: If the top
coating has globs in it which do not disappear with power mixing, then
strain topcoat through painters sock into the paint tray before
applying.

14. Mark off area with Caution tape to keep off traffic during
cure periods. Let cure 48-96 hours before traffic (depending on temperature and
humidity).
15.
Hint: If a high traffic system is required, add a 2nd layer
of topcoat at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 sq.ft.
Maintenance: Clean using soap,
natural bristle scrub brush or street broom and water. To maintain integrity of system, recoat
top layer when rubber granules begin to show (~ 5+ years).

HELPFUL
NOTES & HINTS:
*
Remove any "skin" off the top of Sonoguard material before
starting application. Thick skin can be cut with a razor knife and
removed in one big piece.
* It is HIGHLY recommended to do a trial
area first to practice your technique (an old piece of plywood sheet
works good).
* When re-sealing cans, be sure and
COMPLETELY WIPE sealing surfaces clean. Otherwise product in this area will cure
and permanently glue the lid to the can.
* For both basecoat and topcoat, begin by brushing materials up wall,
over Webseal and all around perimeter (do all the detail work
first). Then apply material to the field.
* Use vinyl gloves. This material is hard to get off.
Use WD40 to remove from your skin.
Vinyl Glove Product Info
*
Clean-up using Xylene, which you can buy at your paint or hardware
store. Remove from your hands using WD-40.
Caution: Protect
your skin and eyes from xylene.
* If the basecoat has to
set for some period before the final topcoat can be
applied, cover the deck with 6 mil black plastic sheet. This will
protect it from UV damage as well as contamination from other trades.
This cost about $1.00 per 100 sq.ft. This investment is more than save
in the clean-up needed prior to topcoat.
*
To Shorten
the Deck Coating Process-
Deck coating technicians can save one day of process time by using PC50
accelerator and Polycoat 440 for seam caulking in lieu of NP1. Make a paste of
these materials, about 1-2 quart at a time, and 3-course your seams with
fiberglass deck webbing as in
previous process. This is a process which needs to be practiced before
using. Mixing ratio is about 1/2 pint of PC50 to 1 gallon of PC440,
depending on cure rate desired and the days temperature. This material
can also be poured into low spots to build them up. Let materials cure
to tack free before applying base coat layers over the top.
CAUTION:
This seam materials must completely cure before applying base coat
over it. In cold weather, it may take a full day or more, even with
the accelerant.
PC-50 Product Info
PC440 Product
Info
Wood Based Decks / Balconies (new balconies):
1. Deck should be constructed of
exterior grade plywood, 3/4" minimum thickness, tongue and groove,
knot free on outside face. Plywood should be screwed down using deck
screws. We recommend gluing beam faces before attaching plywood (glue
and screw).
Deck Screw
Product Info
Screwdrivers, Collated/Automatic, Electric
2. GRIND down all screw heads which are not completely set to deck level.
DO NOT hammer them in. This will cause loose decks and seam failures.
Also grind any high wood areas along seams. Good preparation is the
key to good decks.
3. Attach all metal flashing. Ultra-low rise drip edge is
recommended at
the balcony edge. UNDER all metal, use NP1 caulking, AND use NP1 caulking
on both the balcony face drip-edge metal to wall interface and deck
top interface.
Low-Rise Deck Edge-Metal Product Info

Info
4. At all high stress areas, including
metal-to-wood interfaces and deck seams, apply 4" white fiberglass
20x20 mesh tape embedded into Sonoguard Basecoat or NP1 sealant. Do
this using a 3-course process (coating, fiberglass, more coating, then
feather out) to hide
seams. This is much like taping a drywall joint wherein you taper
joint to adjacent surfaces.
NP-1 Product Info

5. Let NP-1 (or basecoat) cure a minimum of 24
hours. It can take 48 to 72 hours in cold or very dry weather. Water
mist will accelerate the cure.
6. Blow off surfaces and work areas using
a high power gas blower, air or thoroughly broom.
Gas Blower Product Info
7. Pre-mix Basecoat 5 minutes
with a drill and
mixer. Do
not whip air into coating. Apply Sonoguard Self Leveling Base Coat at 2-1/2 gallons per 100 sqft. using a 1/4" notched squeegee. Then back-roll to smooth out
material using a phenolic core (solvent proof) 1/4" nap roller. Back-rolling is
important. Back-rolling brings air from the surface of the deck to the
top of the basecoat so that it can escape, and evens out the thickness.
Hint: First apply
the basecoat to all
perimeter edge areas and up the edge of all flashings using a
disposable brush.
Hint: For highly sloped surfaces order "Slope
Grade" basecoat to prevent excess running of basecoat. IN COLD
WEATHER, DO NOT USE FLASH SLOPE. IT WILL BE TOO THICK (use two thinner
coats of self leveling).

using
a
phenolic core (solvent proof) 3/8" nap roller out of a paint
tray, being careful to get the excess of the roller before applying (do
not dip in the
bucket and roll on, you will apply too thick of coating). Do not apply
topcoat with excessive thickness. CAUTION:
Too thick of material or pooling areas and
can result in small surface blisters. Apply only enough material to cover
the rubber granules, but not to cause material to pool. ALL custom
tinted products need TWO topcoats. Standard pre-tinted topcoats will
benefit from a second coat. Most Polycoat Systems require TWO
topcoats.
Hint: First apply
topcoat to all perimeter edge areas and up the edge of all flashings
using a disposable brush or mini roller. THEN apply top coating to the
center areas.
Hint: If the top
coating has globs in it which do not disappear with power mixing, then
strain topcoat through painters sock into the paint tray before
applying.

12. Mark off area with Caution tape to keep off traffic during
cure periods. Let cure 48-96 hours before traffic (depending on temperature and
humidity).
13. For custom colors (when
using tintable Topcoat with Color Packs) deck surfaces, a second layer
of Topcoat is recommended to achieve good color coverage. For white or
cream color decks, sometimes a 3rd coat is needed. You will
need an additional 3/4 gallon per 100 sq.ft. per coat.
14.
Hint: If a very high traffic system is required, add a 2nd layer
of topcoat at the rate of 3/4 per 100 sq.ft.
15.
Hint: If you are using a
TINTABLE
or darker color
topcoat, apply it in TWO thin coats (allowing it to cure between
coats). This provides the best coloration and long term resistance to
fading.
See Maintenance and Helpful Notes from Concrete deck above.
Creating a Waterproof Layer Under
TILE on Decks:
Summary - Use
exterior grade tongue-and-groove plywood. Screw and glue plywood to
framing. Tape
and waterproof all deck seams and metal-to-deck interfaces as above. Apply first basecoat
layer at 2 gallons per 100 sq.ft.; let cure. Apply second
basecoat at 1 gallon per per 100 sq.ft. and immediately broadcast deck
grade 16
mesh sand into it (to refusal); let cure. Then apply thin-set and
tile. Epoxy grout is recommended. Read all detailed product specs
before proceeding.
