Specification

when application is interrupted by change in
construction scheduling.
Drainage Boards and Footing Drains
Use Protecto Drain 2000V on vertical walls and
Protecto Drain 2000H on horizontal surfaces.
Waterstops, footing drains and most
drainage boards are compatible and may be
used in conjunction with Jiffy Seal waterproof-
ing membranes. Consult Protecto Wrap for
compatible drainage systems.
Block Walls
For block wall waterproofing, apply a heavy
coat of Jiffy Seal No. 100 Primer and allow it to
fully cure. Apply a second coat of primer to
the top 10" (254 mm) of the block wall. When
the second coat of primer is tacky but not
wet, apply Jiffy Seal 140/60. Roll firmly to gain
maximum surface contact. Special emphasis
should be placed on pressure rolling the top
10" (254 mm) of the membrane along with
all seams.
Remove the release film immediately after
application of membrane. Place the protec-
tion course and backfill immediately after
installation of Jiffy Seal. If the membrane will
not be backfilled immediately after applica-
tion, attach mechanical fasteners to the top
of the membrane and cover it with a light
coat of JS160H Mastic.
Horizontal Application
After priming the deck with Jiffy Seal No. 80,
apply the Jiffy Seal membrane from the low
point to the high point across the fall lines so
that the laps shed water on horizontal sur-
faces. Lay the membrane tack side down on
the primed surface. As the liner is applied,
smooth it out with a broom or roller to prevent
wrinkles, entrapped air and fishmouths, and to
ensure maximum contact with the primed sur-
face. Pull the membrane tight and broom or
squeegee the material as it comes into con-
tact with the substrate.
Loose-laying the membrane is not recom-
mended. Sixty inch (1524 mm) wide material
applicators are available upon request.
As application proceeds, remove the Zip
Strip from the preceding sheet of Jiffy Seal.
Apply each succeeding sheet in the same
manner. Overlap the side laps a minimum of
2" (51 mm).
Pressure rolling the overlaps is essential to the
development of a complete and permanent
monolithic system. If the membrane is to be
exposed for any prolonged amount of time,
place protection board over the membrane
the same day of application to reduce the nat-
ural outgassing vapor effect of the deck.
Note - Outgassing may be intensified in
decks that have been recently subjected to
rain, high humidity or other forms of moisture.
Consult the Protecto Wrap Company for rec-
ommendations if these conditions exist.
At the end of each working day, or when
application is interrupted by a change in con-
struction scheduling or adverse weather,
apply a troweled bead of JS160H Mastic to all
edges of the membrane at terminations. All T-
joints, end laps and detail cuts should receive
a troweled bead of JS160H mastic the same
day of application. Use a troweled bead of
JS160H mastic on all end laps the same day of
application.
Wood Decks
Use exterior grade plywood on all decks requir-
ing waterproofing protection. Fasten decking
with ring shank nails. Prior to application, the
surface must be clean, free of sharp protru-
sions, splintering and warping. Panels should be
installed with a 1/8" (3.2 mm) gap at butt joints.
A 3/4" (19.1 mm) cant strip is required at the
wall base prior to the application of Jiffy Seal
500 detail tape. If the design does not allow for
a cant, consult Protecto Wrap Company for
detail recommendations.
Prime the entire deck with No. 80 Primer and
apply Jiffy Seal 140/60 in a shingle fashion from
the low point to the high point. Apply the mem-
brane a minimum of 4" (102 mm) up the verti-
cal wall and caulk the termination with JS160H
Mastic.
If a flashing edge is exposed, cover it
with Protecto Wrap Fast Flash, Copper Flash or
use a standard counter flash to protect mem-
brane from prolonged sunlight exposure.
Tile and Pavers
Jiffy Seal 140/60 is ideal for use as waterproof-
ing substrate under tile, pavers, shower pans
and counter tops. Apply Jiffy Seal membrane
according to the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for horizontal applications. Remove
release film and apply a troweled layer of
mortar to the top of the membrane. Be care-
ful not to damage the membrane with the
trowel. Do not use a V-notched trowel.
Repairs
Carefully inspect the applied membrane before
covering to ensure that it is free of large blisters,
fishmouths or any damage. If the membrane is
damaged and requires repair, clean the affect-
ed area and lightly prime at least 6" (152 mm)
beyond the area damaged. Cut a Jiffy Seal
membrane patch. Cover the reprimed area,
press on the patch and roll firmly. Apply a trow-
eled bead of JS160H Mastic on all edges of the
patch. The patch must overlap the damaged
area at least 6" (152 mm) on all sides.
FLOOD TESTING
Protecto Wrap’s warranty cannot be
enforced without documentation of a suc-
cessful leak-free flood test, which must be
submitted to the Protecto Wrap Co. within 30
days after testing. The applicator and gener-
al contractor must sign the successful flood
testing document.
The mastic must cure at least 24 hours prior
to flood testing (48 hours prior to flood testing
on all planter boxes). Perform a flood test with
a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) and a maximum of
3" (76 mm) of water for 24 hours. Plug all drains
and position barriers to contain the water.
Repair any leaks prior to covering the mem-
brane. Upon completion of repairs, re-flood
the affected area to ensure that repaired
leaks are sound.
PROTECTION
Jiffy Seal waterproofing systems are not
designed for long-term exposure to sunlight
and must be protected by a suitable weather
resistant system.
To prevent damage to the membrane,
apply protection board and backfill as soon
as possible following membrane application.
Protection board must be suitable to with-
stand backfill or a topping course.
After removing the separator sheet, place
the protection board over the membrane. For
vertical applications, place the protection
board the same day of application.
Protect non-traffic horizontal surface areas
with 90 lb (41 kg) felt. Moderate to heavy traf-
fic areas must be protected with 1/8" (3.2 mm)
asphalt hardboard.
Vertical walls must be protected with rigid
polystyrene foam, asphalt hardboard or 90 lb
(41 kg) felt.
PRECAUTIONS
• If other tradespeople are allowed on or
near membranes, the contractor must
make them aware of the waterproofing.
Care should be taken when working
around the installation of membranes.
Report any consequential damage to con-
tractor for repair
• Protecto Wrap solvent-based primers/mas-
tic are flammable. Avoid exposure to open
flames, sparks, etc. Use only in areas with
