Application Guide

For Raw Plaster, Concrete Slabs, Natural Stone Cladding, and Tiles

1. Measure Moisture Levels
   Use a moisture meter to check plastered walls or concrete slabs. Ensure the moisture reading is 20% or lower for optimal results with Damp Gone. Higher readings dilute the product, reducing effectiveness.
2. Drying Time for Natural Stone and Tiles
   Natural stone cladding or tiles should be exposed to sunlight for at least four days after rain or washing to allow full drying before applying Damp Gone.
3. Drying Time for Internal Walls
   Internal walls require more time to dry compared to external walls. Use a moisture meter and wait until the reading is 20% or less before application.
4. Application Tools
   Apply Damp Gone with a pump spray bottle (a pump spray bottle is preferred).

Important Application Instructions: Wet-on-Wet Process

Damp Gone must be applied as a wet-on-wet application:

• First Coat: Apply the first coat to the treatment area.
• Second Coat: After 2 minutes, apply the second coat before the first coat dries. This ensures the product penetrates deeply into porous surfaces.

Tip: Avoid covering large areas at once, as the first coat may dry before the second coat is applied. Drying times vary depending on the material’s porosity and whether the application is indoors or outdoors. Test a small section first to monitor drying time.

For Painted Walls

1. Surface Preparation
   Remove any loose paint and complete all prep work before applying Damp Gone.
2. Application
   Spray two wet-on-wet coats of Damp Gone on the entire wall or affected area.
3. Drying Time Before Painting
   Allow the wall to dry for two days after Damp Gone application. Then, you can apply plaster primer and paint.

Note: If white spots appear after painting, it’s just Damp Gone continuing to dry the walls—nothing to worry about.

Coverage (Wet-on-Wet, Two Coats on Plastered Walls)

Coverage may vary based on material porosity. Below are approximate coverage rates:

• 1 Litre – Covers 6m²
• 5 Litres – Covers 30m²
• 25 Litres – Covers 150m²
