Can Mapesonic 2 be used for waterproofing, sound reduction and uncoupling?

Yes, it can be used for sound reduction, crack isolation, waterproofing and vapor management. However, when using Mapesonic 2 for vapor management, do not use MAPEI SM Primer or MAPEI SM Primer Fast; instead, use MAPEI HM Primer. If there are seams, the use of Mapetape BB tape is also necessary for waterproofing and vapor management.
