DPM Application

**Ajax123** · 15-05-2009

Hi All

I am about to put Tremco Treadfast One coat on my anhydrite conservatory floor ready for tiling. It says on the pot that I should use a 2mm by 5mm notched trowell. I don't have a notched trowell. Can I use a flat trowell or a roller. I have far more than I need so it does not matter if I use too much or waste some in the roller.

I don't have a notched trowell.

Well! Go buy one then...instructions are not there for show...

.....and it's not a product i have used so can't offer anything else..

DPM, is it a damp proof membrane? never heard of the stuff, but as Dave says, instructions are there for a purpose

Hi Doug
It is indeed a DPM - good old fashioned 2 part epoxy but goes down in one coat. I suppose I better buy a notched trowell and let the moths in my wallet get some fresh air for once.
