Instructions for Use

Properly clean entire surface where Seam tape will be applied
Mark the membrane where the edge of the splice occurs and fold top portion back.
Using ½” nap paint roller, apply EPDM Primer to surface and allow to dry (Dry to the touch, ~<20 minutes, temperature + humidity dependent)
Position Seam tape along the length of the seam with sticky tape side down, ensure proper alignment with seam using a pre-determined marked edge/chalk line/guide
Press tape with moderate pressure into splice by hand. Verify approximately 1/8” of tape extends beyond splice edge.
Roll the top surface of the release liner to promote adhesion to the bottom substrate and air pockets have been eliminated.
Allow top EPDM membrane to fall on top of the release liner.
Pull release liner away from Seam Tape at a 45° angle to the seam
Roll the splice with a steel or silicone hand roller. Roll Perpendicular to splice edge.
