thickness, then apply an even bead of Flood Paste into the threshold and the bottom of the door.

3. Apply Flood Paste (cartridge) between the door and the door frame on each side of the door, making
sure all sides and corners have been sealed.

the front, sides and corners are completely sealed. Push the Flood Paste in and smooth it out with
gloved nger or Flex Gap Filler tool.

11. Let dry to the touch (2-6 hours*). If needed, apply additional coats of Flood Paste using the same
application process as above, with each coat being wider and overlapping previous coats.
STEP #2 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION LIQUID
1. Once doors have been sealed and are completely dry, use a brush to apply a generous amount of
Flood Liquid directly on top of the Flood Paste, with each coat being wider and overlapping the
previous coat. This will help seal any small openings or pinholes that may have been missed.
11
2. Once the Flood Liquid is dry to the touch (3-6 hours*), apply as many additional coats as necessary
to ensure all openings are sealed, with each individual coat being wider and overlapping the previous
coat. Let each coat dry to the touch before applying the next coat.

*Dry times may vary based on temperature, humidity, and thickness of applied layers.
IMPORTANT: If sealing your primary entry/exit, all persons, pets, and essential belongings must
be removed from premises. You will not be able to re-enter without breaking the seal.
Flood Paste in a Cartridge is the base coat for your rst layer of protection. Use a gloved nger, Flex
Gap Filler tool, or similar tool to push into all seams and openings to help create a watertight seal.
Always be cautious of any sharp object that may cause injury.
