Application Instructions
- As in all roofing systems, proper membrane lap construction is critical. It is essential the laps receive the proper amount of adhesive, and a slightly thicker application rate in these areas is acceptable
- Ensure the adhesive is visible at all completed lap edges and ends. Once laps are adhered, gently roll or press the laps to ensure good bonding. CAUTION: Too much pressure on the roller may force adhesive out and cause premature system failure. Alternately, lap seaming by hot-air welding may be acceptable; consult the membrane manufacturer
- In addition to adhesive, backnailing is required of the SBS-modified bitumen membrane on steep roof slopes. Some SBS membrane manufacturers may require backnailing at lower slopes. Check membrane manufacturer's application recommendations
- DO NOT HEAT! DO NOT THIN
- Excessive foot traffic on recently applied systems may cause voids, poor bonding or premature system failure
- Excessive adhesive application (greater than 1.50 gallons per 100 sq. ft.) may cause membrane blisters, slippage and/or granule loss
- Application at 50°F or less inhibits drying time and may inhibit proper bonding
- NOT FOR USE with APP (atactic polypropylene) or membranes that have a plastic or polyethylene backing
