Details
R-Guard PorousPrep (formerly known as GypPrime) seals the cut edges of gypsum wall boards exposed in rough openings for windows and doors. The sealed edge makes a perfect surface for easy application of R-Guard Joint & Seam Filler or R-Guard FastFlash. PorousPrep brushes on easily and efficiently, and its glue-like viscosity reduces rundown and potential for spills. PorousPrep usually dries in less than 30 minutes. Use R-Guard PorousPrep as part of a continuous building-wide air barrier system, or to complement conventional waterproofing or air barrier components.
Advantages
- Ensures application of Joint & Seam Filler or FastFlash to dry cut edges of gypsum wall board is fast and efficient.
- Glue-like viscosity makes application smooth and easy, while reducing potential for spills and rundown.
- Water cleanup.
