FIBRO / ASBESTOS ROOF


SEAL AND BOND USING


Note:   Undercoat / Primer where required, is a Sealit Multipurpose "Soak in Mix"
i.e. 50% Sealit Multipurpose & 50% Water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Clean the roof with a strong anti-fungal agent, such as liquid pool chlorine diluted 1:2 in water for example. (Remember that using a high pressure cleaner on old fibro cement roofing is illegal). Allow 1-2 days, or until total kill is achieved.

  2. Next, remove the fungus with a broom or brush, without scrubbing so hard as to lift fibres. (Check local authorities requirements).

  3. Apply one liberal coat of 'Soak in Mix', (50% Sealit Multipurpose, 50% water), generously applied in even strokes, giving total coverage to the entire roof.

  4. Allow to dry.

  5. If waterproofing is the optimum goal, apply one coat neat Sealit Multipurpose to fully seal and encapsulate the fibres.

  6. However, (instead of Step 5) - if planning on recolouring the roof, a proven formula is to mix 50% acrylic paint, with 50% neat Sealit Multipurpose and apply 2 coats.

  7. The edges of the roof should also be given care, and if necessary a neater finish can be obtained using a paintbrush.

  8. Allow to dry.

  9. For a hard protective finish as an optional extra, a coat of neat Glaze can be applied in the same fashion as above.
