Top Tips for LIQUID WEED FABRIC
- Liquid Weed Fabric [LWF] should be installed within an ambient and surface temperature range of 40°- 90° F (4.4-32.2 C). Shaded, low sunlight, or colder areas will lengthen cure times. Conversely, direct sun, warmer areas will shorten cure times. Avoid temperatures at or below freezing or above 100° F (0-38 C) for application, curing phase, or storage.
- Liquid Weed Fabric [LWF] is a water-based, polymeric binding agent. The curing phase is dependent upon complete evaporation of the water component (usually 4-12 hours in optimal) daytime conditions).
- Always consult manufacturer coverage rate guidelines, or contact our Technical Support desk by phone 877-356-2250, or by email Info@TechniSoil.com.
- Do not apply Liquid Weed Fabric [LWF] within a minimum of 24 hours before or after rainfall. In excessively wet conditions, allow project area to dry completely before application.
- For optimal results, clean surface of any existing weeds or debris before application. Liquid Weed Fabric [LWF] often only requires one-coat for full efficacy, however spot treating any areas that develop weeds may be required
