Before surface conditioner dries, tools should be cleaned with

water. After surface conditioner dries, tools should be cleaned

with mineral spirits. Mineral spirits is a combustible liquid which

should be used only in accordance with manufacturer’s recom-

mendations. Do not use solvents to clean hands or skin.

Corner Details

The treatment of corners varies depending on the location of the

corner. For detailed information on Bituthene

Liquid Membrane,

see separate product information sheet.

• At wall to footing inside corners—

Option 1: Apply membrane to within 1 in. (25 mm) of base of

wall. Treat the inside corner by installing a

⁄

in. (20 mm) llet

of Bituthene

Liquid Membrane. Extend Bituthene

Liquid

Membrane at least 2

⁄

in. (65 mm) onto footing, and 2

⁄

in. (65

mm) onto wall membrane.

Option 2: Treat the inside corner by installing a

⁄

in. (20 mm)

llet of Bituthene

Liquid Membrane. Apply 12 in. (300 mm)

wide strip of sheet membrane centered over llet. Apply wall

membrane over inside corner and extend 6 in. (150 mm) onto

footing. Apply 1 in. (25 mm) wide troweling of Bituthene

Liquid Membrane over all terminations and seams within

12 in. (300 mm) of corner.

• At footings where the elevation of the oor slab is 6 in. (150

mm) or more above the footing, treat the inside corner either

by the above two methods or terminate the membrane at the

base of the wall. Seal the termination with Bituthene

Liquid

Membrane.

Joints

Properly seal all joints with waterstop, joint ller and sealant as

required. Bituthene

membranes are not intended to function as

the primary joint seal. Allow sealants to fully cure. Pre-strip all

slab and wall cracks over

⁄

in. (1.5 mm) wide and all construc-

tion and control joints with 9 in. (230 mm) wide sheet membrane

strip.

Application on Horizontal Surfaces

(Note: Preprufe

pre-applied membranes are strongly recom-

mended for below slab or for any application where the

membrane is applied before concreting. See Preprufe

water-

proong membrane product information sheets.)

Apply membrane from the low point to the high point so that laps

shed water. Overlap all seams at least 2 in. (50 mm). Stagger all

end laps. Roll the entire membrane rmly and completely as soon

as possible. Use a linoleum roller or standard water-lled garden

roller less than 30 in. (760 mm) wide, weighing a minimum of 75

lbs (34 kg) when lled. Cover the face of the roller with a resil-

ient material such as a

⁄

in. (13 mm) plastic foam or two wraps

of indoor-outdoor carpet to allow the membrane to fully contact

the primed substrate. Seal all T-joints and membrane terminations

with Bituthene

Liquid Membrane at the end of the day.

Protrusions and Drains

Apply membrane to within 1 in. (25 mm) of the base of the

protrusion. Apply Bituthene

Liquid Membrane 0.1 in. (2.5 mm)

thick around protrusion. Bituthene

Liquid Membrane should

extend over the membrane a minimum of 2

⁄

in. (65 mm) and up

the penetration to just below the nished height of the wearing

course.

Vertical Surfaces

Apply membrane in lengths up to 8 ft (2.5 m). Overlap all seams

at least 2 in. (50 mm). On higher walls apply membrane in two or

more sections with the upper overlapping the lower by at least 2

in. (50 mm). Roll all membrane with a hand roller.

Terminate the membrane at grade level. Press the membrane

rmly to the wall with the butt end of a hardwood tool such as a

hammer handle or secure into a reglet. Failure to use heavy pres-

sure at terminations can result in a poor seal. A termination bar

may be used to ensure a tight seal. Terminate the membrane at the

base of the wall if the bottom of the interior oor slab is at least 6

in. (150 mm) above the footing. Otherwise, use appropriate inside

corner detail where the wall and footing meet.

Membrane Repairs

Patch tears and inadequately lapped seams with membrane.

Clean membrane with a damp cloth and dry. Slit shmouths and

repair with a patch extending 6 in. (150 mm) in all directions

from the slit and seal edges of the patch with Bituthene

Liquid

Membrane. Inspect the membrane thoroughly before covering

and make any repairs.

Drainage

Hydroduct

drainage composites are recommended for both

active drainage and protection of the membrane. See Hydroduct

product information sheets.

Protection of Membrane

Protect Bituthene

membranes to avoid damage from other

trades, construction materials or backll. Place protection imme-

diately in temperatures above 77°F (25°C) to avoid potential for

blisters.

• On vertical applications, use Hydroduct

220 Drainage

Composite. Adhere Hydroduct

220 Drainage Composite to

membrane with Preprufe

Detail Tape. Alternative methods of

protection are to use 1 in. (25 mm) expanded polystyrene or

⁄

in. (6 mm) extruded
