Step 1: Surface Preparation

The first step in any waterproofing job is proper surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or loose particles. Any cracks or holes should be repaired beforehand. Waterproofing works best on a stable and clean surface, so take time to prep carefully.

Step 2: Mixing the Adhesive

Use a clean container to mix Home Pride Adhesive with the recommended amount of water. Mix thoroughly to get a smooth, lump-free consistency. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best waterproofing results.

Step 3: Priming the Surface

Apply a primer coat using the same adhesive, diluted slightly with water. This helps in achieving better bonding with the main waterproofing layer. Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Applying the First Coat

Using a brush or roller, apply the first coat of Home Pride Adhesive uniformly across the surface. Make sure the coat is even and covers all joints and corners where water might seep in. This coat serves as the foundation of your waterproofing layer.

Step 5: Reinforcement (If Required)

For areas exposed to heavy moisture or water pressure, it's advisable to add a reinforcement mesh or fabric over the first coat while it's still wet. This step enhances the overall strength of the waterproofing system.

Step 6: Second Coat Application

Once the first coat has dried (usually within 4–6 hours), apply a second coat perpendicular to the first. This ensures complete coverage and better waterproofing protection. Let it cure fully, as per product guidelines.

Step 7: Final Inspection

After curing, inspect the surface to ensure complete and consistent coverage. If needed, apply an additional touch-up coat to any missed areas. Proper waterproofing guarantees peace of mind and structural integrity for years to come.

Conclusion

Home Pride Adhesive is a trusted choice for effective and long-lasting waterproofing. By following these simple steps, you can safeguard your space from potential water damage. Whether you're working on a bathroom, terrace, or basement, investing in proper waterproofing is always a wise decision.
