Preparation

-

Horizontal work

SA-19 Primer.

Guidance for specification option:

The substrate will be securely fixed, clean, dry, smooth and free of contaminants such as greases, animal fats, coal tar and oil-based products. All sharp edges, nibs and rough surfaces which could damage the membrane will be removed or otherwise isolated. Should the V-Gard MAX air and vapour control layer be used, the substrate will be prepared with Elevate SA-19 Primer.
