Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Priming is the step most often skipped on aged membrane, and it is where pressure-sensitive failures start. On membrane exposed for several weeks or carrying dust, use weathered membrane cleaner first, then broom off mica on EPDM before applying the primer. Stir the olive drab pigment well and verify full wet coverage before the flash-off period. This 3 gal pail suits larger flashings and wrap work; confirm solvent handling requirements on site.
Solvent-based product: use appropriate respiratory protection and ventilation, and keep away from ignition sources per the safety data sheet.
