REPAIRING The substrate must be checked for its soundness using small hammer. All cracks at corner joints, channels and parapets should be properly treated.

FILLING FOR CRACKS For filling cracks upto 3mm use Crack Seal. Bigger cracks, damaged portions and hollow areas must be repaired with polymer modified cement mortars.
