MOSS AND LICHENS:
Moss and lichen growing on Asbestos-cement or tiled roofs usually appear grey green-green, orange or black and must be treated prior to applying any Wapol Roof Coat System. On tiled roofs and masontry, moss and lichen cleaning is necessary to avoid adhesion problems and to ensure an aesthetic appearance. Apply (by brus, swab or gerntle spray) Wapol FW 5 Fungicidal Wash to the entire surface to be treatered, not just to visible areas as allowed to remain on the surface for at least 24 hours. After that time all debris should be removed by means of a high-pressures water jet (except in the case of asbestos surfaces where only simple hosing is permitted). The cleaned surface should then be treated with another application of Wapol jet ( except in the case of asbestos surfaces where only simple hosing is permitted ).

The cleaned surface should then be treated with another application of Wapol FW 5 Fungicide 1:2 parts water. This should be allowed to dry completely before commencement of painting to ensure that any remaining spores are killed.
