Suitable Surfaces

- Concrete
- Metals and plastics

Application – Upstands
Apply contact adhesive to both the upstand and the underside of the EPDM membrane using a 4" mini roller. A 150mm-wide strip of contact adhesive must also be applied around the deck perimeter to prevent membrane lift caused by structural movement. Allow the adhesive to become touch-dry before bonding.
Application – Non-Permeable Decks
Apply contact adhesive evenly to both the deck and the underside of the membrane using a roller. Allow the adhesive to become touch-dry (typically 5–20 minutes) before carefully rolling the membrane into position.
Important: Once bonded using contact adhesive, the membrane cannot be repositioned.
