  • Wet mil thickness should be ensured and measured with a wet film gage.
  • Coverages are approximate and will vary depending on application methods and environmental/surface conditions.
  • OSB, Plywood and CMU may require additional material to reach a pin free and monolithic required mil thickness.

A mockup using the exact materials for the project should be used to determine coverage.
