make sure all the loose is off... give it at least 2 good coats..
instructions here..

this is where the pdf is from, if you check out the damp products and look at the data sheets they give a list of instructions for use..

im guessing the injection is done by others.. if its getting injected and its above ground..
if not theres a bit more to it than just tanking the walls such as a bottle fillet to floor and floor sealing etc.. or even a different system altogether... if you let us know what the job is should be able to point you in the right direction even if its just dont touch it! ;D

If its vandex or some simalar type you have to sandwich it between render so put a coat of render on dont worry too much about how flat it is apply the tanking by brush (you usually need to have a fillet to the floor and coat that with vandex) when applying the vandex also try and stipple it so the next coat will have a key and then the rest is just normal float coat and skim

Also forgot to mention you cant apply the tanking the same day the first coat of render goes on so its a few days process best to render one day tank the next then top the day after.
