  Application Instructions

  1. Do Not Thin: Ensure primer is used at full strength.
  2. Temperature: Apply when temperatures are expected to rise, starting from 14 °F (-10 °C).
  3. Stir Well: Stir thoroughly before and during application.
  4. Drying: Allow 30 to 90 minutes for drying; it should be tacky but not messy.
  5. Surface Prep: Clean surfaces thoroughly to remove dust and contaminants.
  6. Application: Use a brush, roller, or airless sprayer for even coverage.
  7. Timely Installation: Install membranes the same day as primer application.

  Storage and Handling

  • Store between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).
  • Avoid damage during transport and handling.
  • Store in original packaging, no more than two pallets high.
