Questions about Anti-Fracture and Crack Isolation Membranes
How is LATICRETE® Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane, LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane or LATICRETE Watertight™ installed when used as an anti-fracture membrane?
LATICRETE® Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane, LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane or LATICRETE Watertight™ are two component liquid and reinforcing fabric systems. The liquid is applied with a paint roller or paintbrush. The fabric is embedded in the liquid. A topcoat is immediately applied. Seams and joints receive a double application of fabric. (LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane receives an additional coat when dry to the touch when waterproofing is also desired. 100% silicone or urethane caulk is applied at adjoining surfaces, drains connections and pipe penetrations.)

If I find an air bubble or blister in the Membrane, what can I do?
Cut out the bubble or blister back to sound and well-adhered membrane. Apply a liberal amount of waterproofing liquid overlapping the existing membrane by 6” (150mm). Place the reinforcing membrane fabric into the liquid and immediately coat with additional waterproofing liquid. Allow to dry for 2 hours and topcoat with a final application of waterproofing liquid.
Can I use a mastic adhesive to install tiles over the anti-fracture membranes?
No. Use only LATICRETE latex fortified thin set mortars or LATAPOXY® epoxy adhesive to install tile or natural stone over the anti-fracture membranes.

Can I use LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane over control joints and cold joints?
Bringing the existing cold and control joints directly up through the tile layer is the best method of treating these joints. However, treating these joints with the following method can have some success:
Apply a liberal coat of LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane liquid over the joint and imbed the 6″ (150mm) wide fabric. Immediately top coat the fabric with additional LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane liquid. Next, apply more LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane liquid 3 times the width of the tile or stone and imbed the fabric which is also 3 times the width of the tile or stone (e.g. 12″ x 12″ – 300mm x 300mm tiles would require a liquid and fabric width of 36″ – 900mm). Immediately top coat the entire LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane treatment with an additional coat of LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane liquid. Next, install the tiles using a LATICRETE latex fortified thin set mortar or LATAPOXY adhesive. Treat the next available grout joint with a suitable flexible urethane or silicone sealant in lieu of grout.
