Substrate Preparation

CONCRETE

1. Curing of concrete shall be by means of water cure or dissipating compounds. Curing compounds shall be approved by an authorized representative of Excellent Coatings, Inc.Concrete shall be cured a minimum of 14 days prior to the installation of membrane unless approved by an authorized representative of Excellent Coatings, Inc.Concrete finish shall be a power metal float followed by a light steel trowel and fine hair broom finish, or equivalent. Concrete surfaces shall be free of excessive roughness, voids, protrusions or exposed aggregate.Metal shall be bonderized (etched and galvanized), rust-free and a minimum 26 gauge.All tooled joints, control joints and moving structural cracks shall be routed, primed and caulked with sealant approved by Excellent Coatings, Inc.
2. All holes, cracks, flashing junctures, joints, and other openings should be detailed with a 10 mil. stripe coat embedded with GLT tape, covered with an additional 10 mil. coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V.

Application

HORIZONTAL

APPLICATION:

1. Roll the Excel-Coat Green-Line V onto the deck surface all the rate of 50 square feet per gallon. Immediately install (if used) the reinforcing fabric into the wet coat. Smooth fabric with a trowel or brush, making sure there are no wrinkles or bubbles in the fabric. Allow to dry 4-6 hours. Dry times may vary.Note: The cured film thickness shall be 18-20 mils. with fabric and 12-15 mils. without fabric.Using care, visually inspect the membrane. Any wrinkles, blisters or voids should be cut out and the waterproofing material reapplied.Allow approximately 8 hours to properly cure. Dry times may vary.Apply an additional coat of Excel-coat Green-Line V at an average rate of 100 square feet per gallon.After installation of the second coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V, water test all horizontal surfaces. This should be done after the membrane has cured at least 36 hours.If a Protection Fabric is used, roll a third coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V while still wet. Install the Protection Fabric in a smooth and wrinkle free manner, lapping seams a minimum of 2". Allow approximately 12 hours to cure. Dry times may vary.
2. If Excel-Coat Green-Line V is used as an under- tile membrane, install a slurry coat of Excel-Crete as a protection course over the membrane instead of Protection Fabric, prior to installation of the tile.

Note: The total cured film thickness of the complete waterproofing system shall be 30-40 mils.

Under Tile Application over Plywood

Install metal lath and Excel Crete per the Excel Coat Fire System application guide prior to installation of the Excel coat Green Line V membrane and the Excel Crete slurry coat.

VERTICAL

APPLICATION:

1. If concrete block is used instead of tilt-up concrete, the surface to be waterproofed shall be smooth, and, if necessary, parging shall be implemented prior to installing the waterproofing membrane.For additional strength, reinforcing fabric may be used.Apply a coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V on the below-grade wall at the rate of 50 square feet per gallon. Immediately install reinforcing fabric (if used) into the wet coat. Smooth fabric with a trowel or brush. Allow material to dry approximately 4-6 hours. Dry times may vary.Roll a coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V onto the vertical wall at a rate of 100 square feet per gallon. Allow material to dry for approximately 2-4 hours. Dry times may vary.Using care, visually inspect the membrane. Any wrinkles, blisters or voids should be cut out and the waterproofing material reapplied.Roll a third coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V at the rate of 100 square feet per gallon and install the Protection Fabric in a smooth and wrinkle-free manner, lapping seams a minimum of 2". Allow total system to cure approximately 12 hours before backfill begins. If drainage board is to be used, consult your Excellent Coatings, Inc., representative for product recommendations.Note: Colder weather will slow the curing process of all Excel-Coat products.FYI: Excel-Coat Green-Line V is a copolymer that does not crack or get brittle over time. This material can be brought up above the fill line, to the stucco line or header; but it must be painted/textured to protect membrane from damage.
