- Application Instruction
Surface Preparation
- All surfaces to receive coating must be clean, dry and free from any foreign matter such as dirt, oils, grease or other debris that could inhibit the adhesion capabilities of the newly installed products.
- Metal surfaces that display rusting or other oxidation, to be prepared with a grinder or wire brush as needed to remove surface contaminants.
- Existing roof systems to be visually inspected for conditions that may adversely affect adhesion of performance of newly installed products. Repair any visible deficiencies such as splitting, blistering, and buckling.
- Visually inspect all metal and non-metal flashings, edges, drains, valleys and through-roof penetrations and repair as needed by project conditions.
Application
- Stir product prior to application if needed.
- Apply by brush, trowel or putty knife.
- In all cases, an adhesion test is recommended to confirm suitability.
- Prior to using this product on new cap sheets (smooth or granulated); it is recommended to wait 30 days for weathering.
- Apply at 1⁄8" thick uniform application.
- Application in cold weather could result in uneven application and improper curing of product.
- Apply at all laps, cracks or breaks in the surface extending a minimum of 2 inches on each side
Cleaning
