Article: Dip a paint brush into the mixture and apply the slurry to the wall in long, horizontal strokes. Try to maintain equal coverage until you've applied the slurry to the entire wall. Start from the top of the wall and work your way down to the bottom of the wall. Breaking up the wall into sections will help you get more even coats. Wait for three hours then come back to the wall and touch it with your hand. It should still be somewhat wet and sticky. Rinse out the bucket with the tanking slurry so that it doesn't harden to the container. Keep pets out of the area while the base coat dries. Tell people not to go into the room that has the tanking slurry on the walls or they may inhale the fumes from the tanking mixture. Read the instructions on the tanking mixture and create another container of tanking slurry. This will be used to lay down the second layer of tanking slurry to the wall. Mix the slurry in the same proportions that you did for the first layer. Use vertical strokes over the first coat of tanking slurry. This will help you get complete coverage over the wall. Lay down another 2mm (.86 inch) thick coat of tanking slurry to the wall. Restrict access to the room until the slurry dries. Don't wait longer than 24 hours after applying the first coat to apply the second coat of tanking slurry. Once you're done with the second coat, rinse out your bucket so that the slurry doesn't get stuck to it. The tanking mixture should take anywhere from 6-8 hours to dry. Come back to the tanking slurry and make sure that there are no more imperfections on your wall. The tanking slurry is usually a specific hue, so your walls will most likely be a different color than your floor or ceiling if you don't tank them as well. It's common that people who tank their walls will also tank their ceiling or floor. If you don't, you'll have to monitor these areas more carefully for moisture damage or mold buildup. If you tank your ceiling and floor, make sure that you tank the walls first, then the ceiling, and then the floor. To reach higher ceilings you'll have to use a paint roller on an extension pole. When tanking the floor, use a self-leveling mixture known as floor screed so the finished result is smooth and even.
