## Construction Precautions ⚠️
1. Mix base and hardener evenly per specified ratio, allow 10~20 minutes reaction standing before use.
2. Thoroughly remove moisture, grease, dust, rust and corrosive contaminants from substrate surfaces prior to coating.
3. Fresh cement walls contain abundant free moisture and alkaline substances which reduce film performance and adhesion. Allow full drying until moisture content drops below 12% before construction.
4. Construction Conditions: Ambient relative humidity below 85%RH, temperature ≥10°C.
5. If recoating interval exceeds the specified limit, roughen the existing film surface to improve interlayer adhesion.
