• Hot-applied waterproofing comes in blocks. You need a twin wall kettle with continuous agitation to melt the blocks at 350-degrees. You can apply the reinforcing fabric with a roofing mop or a felt-laying machine. A paint roller with a long handle makes applying primer easier on the back. Wear personal protection equipment, such as gloves, knee pads and a mask, to avoid any adverse effects from fumes during the melting process.
