Applications instructions:

LIGO is easy to apply, maintain and repair, making it ideal for DIY.

Preparation:
(1) If the roof has remnants of previous coatings, tar-paper, etc.,
remove all sections which come off easily.

(2) If there are large bubbles in the old coating, use a sharp knife to remove them.

(3) Ensure that the roof is clean and dry (sweep clean using a non-shedding broom).

(4) Fill any cracks or seams in the roof using an Acrylic sealant.

Application:
(1) Pour red LIGO onto the roof using a rubber squeegee to evenly
spread approximately 1 gal. / 66 sq. feet (a 4.5 gal. pail typically
covers300 sq. feet).

(2) Allow 3-6 hours to dry (Depending on the temperature).

(3) Apply white LIGO in the same fashion, for a total usage
(both coats) of approximately 1 gal. / 33 sq. feet Pink or reddish
patches mean that the coverage is not thick enough.

(4) While applying both coats, use a brush to apply LIGO to any
vertical surfaces contacting the roof (to a height of at least six inches).

(5) Allow 24 hours for final drying.

For large surfaces, it is recommended to apply LIGO using standard
compressor-air spraying equipment, to achieve a consistent thickness.
The finished roof is suitable for limited pedestrian traffic for maintenance purposes.

Maintenance:

1. The roof can easily be cleaned with water, and will retain its
bright white finish for years.

2. Patches requiring repairs are easily treated as follows:
A) Use a sharp knife to cut out a square slightly larger than the
affected area.

 
B) Apply LIGO in two coats according to regular application
instructions.
