Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
This cement is the standard choice for flashing details and two-ply laps in Elevate SBS and APP Cool systems. Keep substrate temperatures within specification and confirm concrete is primed with ASTM D-41 before cold application. For cold-weather work, store pails in a warm space and stage only what you can use before the material chills.
Asphalt cements contain solvents; use in ventilated areas, keep away from ignition sources and follow the safety data sheet precautions.
