Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Take porosity into account when estimating: aged or porous substrates will pull you toward the 100 ft² per gallon end of the range, so order accordingly to avoid mid-job shortages. Use only a solvent-resistant roller as specified, and check the pail date against the one-year shelf life before starting. Always confirm whether Elevate Specifications and Details require primer on your specific substrate before installing Basegard SA membrane.
Use adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment when applying solvent-based primers, and follow the product safety data sheet.
