PREPARING DOOR FOR SEALING
1. Make sure the areas being sealed are clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, dirt, and debris.
2. Remove any vehicles you intend to use. Close and lock garage door.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you reinforce/brace your garage door. High water levels could
cause the door to bow and break the seal.
STEP #1 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION PASTE IN A CARTRIDGE
1. With door closed tight, apply Flood Paste (cartridge) along the bottom of the garage door, where it
meets the foundation. Continue applying Flood Paste up both sides of the door.

2. For sectional garage doors, apply Flood Paste to the horizontal seams of each section.

3. Push the Flood Paste into all gaps and seams, then smooth it out using your gloved nger or Flex Gap
Filler tool.

NOTE: Paste does NOT need to dry before continuing.
STEP #2 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION TAPE
1. Unroll Flood Tape and cut it into 2-ft sections. Remove backing and fold it horizontally.

2. Apply bottom half of the Flood Tape to the ground in front of the garage door. Starting at the center, push
the fold of the Flood Tape into the seam between the ground and the garage door, smoothing out as you
go. Push the top half of Flood Tape against the door, starting at the center and smoothing it out.

3. Repeat the above process, applying the Flood Tape in 2-ft sections, until the full width of the bottom of
the door is sealed. Make sure to overlap each section 2-3 inches.
4. Apply Flood PASTE to all Flood Tape edges and where Tape sections overlap. Let dry to the touch
(2-6 hours*).

STEP #3 – APPLY FINAL COAT OF FLOOD PASTE IN A CARTRIDGE
Apply additional layers of Flood Paste (cartridge) on top of existing Flood Paste, using the same application
process as the rst layer. Each individual coat should be wider and overlap the previous layer of Flood Paste
and Flood Tape until all openings are sealed. Allow each coat to dry to the touch (2-6 hours*).

STEP #4 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION LIQUID
1. Brush a generous amount of Flood Liquid directly on top of the Flood Paste and Flood Tape, wider and
overlapping the Flood Paste and Flood Tape, as well as around the garage door handle and lock.

2. Let rst coat dry to the touch (3-6 hours*). If needed, apply additional overlapping coats to help seal any
small openings or pinholes that may have been missed.
