FAQs

Can I use this kit on flexible materials like rubber?

The kit is designed for rigid and semi-rigid surfaces like wood, metal, and concrete. Compatibility with flexible materials like rubber may vary, and testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended.

How long does the waterproofing last?

The Gorilla Waterproof Repair Kit is designed for long-lasting protection. Durability depends on the application, environmental conditions, and proper surface preparation and application.

Can I paint over the cured coating?

While not specifically designed for painting, some compatible paints may adhere to the cured coating. It's advisable to test paint compatibility on a small patch first.

What is the best temperature for application?

For optimal results, apply the coating and tape in moderate temperatures. Avoid application in extreme heat or freezing conditions, as this can affect adhesion and curing.

How much area can the kit cover?

The coverage depends on the thickness of the coating applied and the size of the tape used. The 473ml coating and 48mm x 11M tape are suitable for numerous common household repairs.

Is the coating waterproof immediately after application?

The tape provides immediate adhesion and temporary waterproofing. The coating requires time to cure fully to achieve its maximum waterproof strength and durability.

Can this be used for plumbing repairs inside a house?

Yes, the kit is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including plumbing repairs. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during application and allow for proper curing before the pipe is put back into service.

Troubleshooting

Tape not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean and dry (unless intentionally applying to a wet surface as per instructions). Press firmly to ensure full contact. Surface preparation is critical for adhesion.

Coating remains tacky and does not cure

Check application temperature – avoid extreme heat or cold. Ensure adequate ventilation. If applied too thickly, it may take longer to cure. Refer to product instructions for specific curing times and conditions.

Repair leaks after application

Verify that the coating and tape were applied over the entire damaged area with sufficient overlap onto surrounding surfaces. Ensure the coating was allowed to become tacky before applying the tape for optimal bonding.

Tape peeling at edges

Ensure the edges of the tape are sealed down firmly. Apply additional coating under the edges of the tape if necessary and press firmly. Consider using a primer if specified for difficult surfaces.
