5. When the side modules are assembled and the sealing mass has dried for at least 6 hours, the vertical joints and the
joint between the seat and side should be coated using the method illustrated earlier. Let it dry for at least 12 hours
before checking for leakage. If the application of coating is made after the bath has been in use then the coating
should be applied only after the joints, and a small area out from this, are cleaned with acetone and sanded.
Coating of joints
Improper use of chlorine, or some other combination of chemicals, can damage the sealing mass
that is used on the joints. It’s therefore recommended that the joints on the benches, between the side and bottom modules
are treated with a layer of coating to protect them. The joints first have to be dry and clean. This guide describes this
process in detail during the assembly stage. If the coating is applied after the tub has been in use, then all joints and the
area a few centimeters around the joints has to be cleaned with acetone or an similar product and sanded.
WATCH OUT!
When coating the tub with TubCoat it is important that the surface is totally dry and that the process itself won't be done
within a humid environment otherwise it results in a grey-whitish colour while hardening. Because of the same reason the
material needs to dry at least 12 hours before it gets in contact with water.
2. In order to get a good looking result the
masking is applied “double”. See “Mask
properly”. Remove the masking tape for the
joints. Let it dry for at least 6 hours before
i
1. The coating consists of two components,
"Comp. A" and "Comp. B", the mixing ratio is
4:1 (A:B)
4. Turn the seating area and apply coating onto
the joints between the seats and the two joints in
the base. Remove the tape afterwards. Wait 5
hours and then apply new masking, sanding and
plastic application according to
”second
coating”
3. Mix up 50 ml Comp. A and 12.5 ml Comp. B
and apply the coating over the joints. HINT! Turn
the base on it's edge to see better. First hold the
brush so it covers the joint and then so the coating
is also applied outside the joint itself.
