APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Membrane surfaces must be clean, dry and free of foreign materials. Excessively dirty membrane should be cleaned with RUBBERALL® membrane cleaner and a clean rag. The solids suspended in the seam tape primer tend to settle to the bottom of the container and should be thoroughly stirred before use. During use, re-stir frequently (every 15 - 20 minutes). The primer must be used full strength - DO NOT DILUTE.
Scrub in primer with a RUBBERALL® Scrub Pad saturated with the seam tape primer. The surface should appear wet while scrubbing. Prime an area wider than the area being spliced to insure proper adhesion to the primed surfaces only. Do not merely paint the primer on; it must be applied with the scrub pad. The primed surface should be uniformly black without streaks. If the scrub pad becomes filled with debris or contaminants from the membrane, discard and use a new scrub pad.Allow the surfaces to dry to the touch (usually less than ten (10) minutes before applying RUBBERALL® taped products or rubber-to-rubber adhesive.
