physical characteristics of the plywood and grade should be
considered. Plywood should be new or cleaned and sanded
(see General Guidelines). The coating should be applied at
least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point.
Coverage rates recommended are based on lab conditions,
applied at 75°F (24°C) ambient temperature and are intended
to be minimum coverage rates on clean, smooth plywood, and
are exclusive of additional amounts needed to fill potholes,
spalling, scaling, rough and irregular surfaces. Porosity and
roughness of the substrate, aggregate size, and product
temperature will affect coverage rates. Material mil thickness
rates are calculated on theoretical coverage for a smooth
substrate and do not account for the actual texture or substrate
conditions in the field or at the time of application. Sample
mockups on the projects are recommended to determine the
exact coverage rates necessary to waterproof the deck to
acceptable standards.
