• Avoid overlapping. 
   
• Always keep a wet edge. This will minimize lap marks. 
   
• Excess moisture in the substrate will inhibit
  penetration of the water repellent and also cause
  discoloration of the substrate. Generally, if the
  temperature is above 75°F, it has not rained for
  three days and the substrate appears to be dry,
  it is safe to apply a water repellent. 
   
• Shaded areas such as West and North facing walls
  will dry more slowly than East and South facing walls.
  It is possible that while some areas of a structure are dry
  enough to apply a water repellent, other areas may not be. 
   
• Over spray can travel great distances on windy days.
  Use caution when spraying. 
   

• Always apply a sample area to determine coverage
  and potential for discoloration of the substrate. 
   
• Use a RILEM tube to determine absorption rate
  of the substrate prior to applying material. 
   
• Substrates have different absorption rates.
  If coverage is 40 ft.² or less per gallon, a clear
  water repellent will not provide adequate
  protection because too many voids exist in
  the substrate. In this case a better choice of
  product is a coating such as Conpro Lastic,
  which is a waterproof membrane. 
   
• Water repellents do not fill voids or bridge cracks. 
  Always spray to pre-determined break points.
