not recommended for foot traffic. It is also ideal for exterior
foundations and retaining walls, above and below grade.

paint film lonely
 Can be applied to wet or dry surfaces
 Smooth, non-yellowing, non-grit eggshell finish

WaterTite is designed to be used as a two coat system.
The first coat primes and seals the surface. The second

the paint film. It is not recommended for potable water
tanks, cisterns, bird baths or swimming pools, or as a
primer or finish on floors subject to foot traffic.

Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of dirt,
greases, soap, and other contaminants. New masonry

Etch and Cleaner
or a similar product. Follow manufacturer’s directions and
safety precautions. Rinse the surface thoroughly with fresh
water.

Cleaner and Mildew Killer.
Previously Painted Surfaces - It can be used over
previously painted, non-glossy surfaces; however its
waterproofing ability is then dependent upon the integrity
of the previous coating. For best results, remove as much
of the old coating as possible by manually scraping the
surface, followed by thorough wire rushing. A belt sander
with a 50 grit sanding belt is also effective. Exterior
surfaces should be power washed or abrasive blasted to
remove all loose and scaling paint and cement.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
Patching Water Leaks and Cracks - All holes and cracks,
especially active water leaks, must be patched with
WaterTite Polyurethane Sealant or a similar product.
Follow manufacturer’s directions for dry time, etc.
MIXING
