5.	Substrate for waterproofing shall be clean, dry, free of loose, spalled or weak material including coatings, mineral aggregate, and flood coat/gravel surfacing, oil, grease, contaminants, abrupt changes in level, waterproofing agents, curing compounds, and free of projections which could damage membrane materials.
B.	Structural Concrete:
1.	New concrete shall be cured a minimum of 28 days in accordance with ACI-308, or as approved by Roofing/waterproofing Manufacturer's on-site representative.

C.	Masonry:
1.	Masonry walls hard kiln dried brick or waterproof concrete block construction.
2.	Areas of soft or scaling brick or concrete, faulty mortar joints, or walls with broken, damaged or leaking coping shall be repaired in accordance with the requirements of the Architect and waterproofing Manufacturer.

Pour entire unit of primer Component B into entire unit of primer Component A and mix the components for approximately 2 minutes with a clean spiral agitator on slow speed or stir stick without creating any bubbles or streaks. DO NOT AERATE. The Primer solution should be a uniform color, with no light or dark streaks present.
2.	Do not thin primer. Determine required primer coverage for each substrate material/condition and apply in strict accordance with written instructions of Membrane Manufacturer.
3.	Mix only full units of primer. Primer pot life is approximately 20 minutes.
D.	Mixing of Kempertec R Primer:
1.	Premix primer Component A within clear pouch to obtain consistent appearance. Remove separation cord. Knead primer Component B into Component A and mix the components for approximately 1 minute. The Primer solution should be a uniform color, with no light or dark streaks present.
2.	Do not thin primer. Determine required primer coverage for each substrate material/condition and apply in strict accordance with written instructions of Membrane Manufacturer.
3.	Mix only full units of primer. Primer pot life is approximately 5-10 minutes.
E.	Application:
1.	After mixing, apply the primer with a roller or brush evenly onto the surface in a cross directional method, or utilizing the pour and spread method to fully cover the substrate.
2.	Porous substrates may require an adjustment to the primer application rate or multiple coats to achieve proper pore saturation.
3.	For EP and EP5 Primer applications, broadcast Kemperol Surfacing sand (0, #18) at the rate of 50 lbs. / 100 ft2 into the wet primer to increase surface area and enhance adhesion. Remove excess sand after primer has fully cured prior to membrane application.
4.	Curing time is approximately 12-16 hours for D and EP primers and approximately 3-4 hours for R and EP5 primers. Kemperol membrane may be applied when the primer is completely dry and without tack. Do not apply Kemperol membrane to tacky or wet primer.
5.	Exposure of primer in excess of 8 days or premature exposure to moisture may require abrasion of contaminated surface and application of new primer coat.
3.4	MEMBRANE APPLICATION
A.	General:
1.	Where primer is necessary, apply the waterproofing membrane immediately following full curing of the primer in order to obtain the best bond between primer and membrane.
2.	Mix and apply cold fluid-applied reinforced waterproofing membrane in strict accordance with written instructions of Membrane Manufacturer. Use only proprietary membrane resins and materials, as supplied by the membrane manufacturer.
3.	Substrate surface shall be dry, with any remaining dust or loose particles removed using clean, dry, oil-free compressed air, industrial vacuum, cloth-wipe or a combination. 
4.	Protect all areas where membrane has been installed. Do not work off installed membrane during application of remaining work for 16 hours or until fully cured. Movement of materials and equipment across installed membrane is not acceptable. If movement is necessary, provide complete protection of affected areas.
B.	Mixing of Kemperol 022 Resin:
1.	Mix only full units of resin. Breaking down units is not acceptable.
2.	Mix resin Component A with a spiral agitator until the liquid is a uniform color. 
3.	Pour entire contents of resin Component B into Component A and thoroughly mix the components with a spiral agitator. Resin solution should be a uniform color, with no light or dark streaks present.
4.	Resin pot life is approximately 25 minutes.
C.	Application of Resin/Fleece:
1.	After the Resin is mixed, using a Kemperol roller nap or brush, apply 2/3 of the resin liberally and evenly onto the surface. Covering one working area at a time, between 10 - 15 sq.ft. 
2.	Roll the Kemperol Fleece directly into the resin, making sure the SMOOTH SIDE IS FACING UP (natural unrolling procedure), avoiding folds and wrinkles. The fleece will begin to rapidly saturate with the liquid resin mix. Use the roller or brush to work the resin into the fleece, saturating from the bottom up, and eliminating air bubbles, wrinkles, etc. It is important to correct these faults before the resin cures. White spots are indications of unsaturated fleece or lack of adhesion.
3.	Apply the remaining 1/3 of the resin to the top of fleece to complete the saturation. Rolling the final coat of resin onto the fleece should result in a glossy appearance. The fleece can only hold so much resin and all excess should be rolled forward to the unsaturated portion of the fleece. The correct amount of resin will completely saturate the fleece. Work wet membrane to avoid any blisters, openings, or lifting at corners, junctions, and transitions. Always assure full resin saturation of fleece.
4.	Prevent contact between mixed/unmixed resin and new/existing membrane. If any unmixed resin contacts membrane surface remove immediately and clean thoroughly with a cloth rag.
5.	At all fleece seams, allow a 2 inch (5 cm) overlap for all side joints and a 4 inch (10 cm) overlap for all end joints. 
6.	While the resin is still wet, broadcast kiln-dried silica Surfacing sand at the approximate rate of 30 lbs./100 sq.ft (1.5 kg/sm)

3.	Fleece shall overlap 2 inches (5 cm) minimum for all joints. Fleece shall be cut neatly to fit all flashing conditions without a buildup of multiple fleece layers. Work wet membrane with a brush or roller to eliminate blisters, openings, or lifting at corners, junctions, and transitions.
4.	Install membrane flashings concurrently with the waterproofing membrane as the job progresses. Should any water penetrate the new waterproofing membrane because of incomplete flashings, the affected area shall be removed and replaced at the contractor's expense.
5.	Flashing height shall be at least as high as the potential water level that could be reached. All flashings shall be terminated as required by the Membrane Manufacturer.
