This finish shall be kept wet for seven days, seasoned properly and protected against wash by rain and from the strong rays of the sun in order to avoid unsightly surface cracks by drying and hardening. PREPARATION OF SURFACES: before the application of any waterproofing materials, concrete and mortar must have set thoroughly. Cut off or grind smooth all high spots. Point mortar all holes, voids, depressions, joints and crack flush with surface. Sweep cleanly all surfaces to be waterproofed to remove dust, loose and foreign matter leaving all such surfaces thoroughly clean, smooth, firm, and dry.
