	CIM LIQUID RUBBER LINER CIM is a tough, abrasion-resistant coating that forms a seamless, thick rubber skin over concrete, masonry, metal, or wood surfaces. Although considerably more expensive than EPDM or Butyl rubber, it can be used to waterproof old concrete ponds and other projects that are virtually impossible to seal with sheet liners. CIM is based on a two-component urethane chemistry that will far outlast single-component liquid rubber coatings and will comply with the toughest environmental air quality regulations. It is safe for use with fish and aquatic plants and is approved for use in drinking water storage tanks and cisterns.

	PREPARATION: Proper preparation is essential to achieve satisfactory results. Surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry. Old surfaces should be wire-brushed or sandblasted and then vacuumed. New concrete should first be cured 28 days and be free of release agents and curing compounds. Any large holes should be filled with epoxy putty or other durable patching compounds. A special bonding agent is available for use on nonporous substrates such as glass or metal.	Wire-brush or sandblast the surface
	MIXING: The system consists of two components: a can or pail of premix and a bottle of activator. Stir the premix with a jiffy mixer in an electric drill and then slowly add the activator. Continue mixing for a full three minutes, taking care not to draw air into the mixture. Follow this procedure exactly: do not mix by hand; do not mix only part of the components; and do not mix for less than three minutes!	Mix at least three minutes with jiffy mixer in electric drill
	APPLICATION: Surfaces to be coated must be warmer than 50°F. To avoid bubbling, CIM should not be applied in direct sunlight and should not be applied when the air temperature is rising. Consequently, the ideal time to apply CIM is late afternoon or early evening on a warm, dry day. After mixing is complete, the liquid must be applied within thirty minutes before it begins to harden. Except on large projects, we recommend using one-gallon units to assure sufficient time for application. To achieve the recommended thickness of approximately one-sixteenth inch (60 mils), apply at least one gallon for every twenty square feet using a paint roller squeegee. CIM can be recoated after one hour, but after four hours, it must first be thoroughly wire-brushed. Try to work continuously until the project is complete. Wait at least two full days before filling the pond.	Apply with paint roller within 30 minutes
