Elevate V-Force SA Water Based Primer for Self-Adhered Membranes and Underlayment, 5 gal, Blue
Elevate SA Water Based Primer is a polymer emulsion-based primer that prepares exterior concrete, wood and plywood surfaces to enhance adhesion of V-Force Vapor Barrier Membranes, Enverge Air & Vapor Barrier SA Membranes and CLAD-GARD Metal Roof Underlayment. It is supplied in 5 gal containers in blue.
Key Features:
- Water based: Polymer emulsion-based formula offers low-odor, water-based priming.
- Improves adhesion: Enhances adhesion of self-adhered membranes and underlayment to porous surfaces.
- Prepares porous surfaces: Primes and prepares exterior concrete, wood and plywood.
- System matched: Made for V-Force, Enverge SA and CLAD-GARD underlayment systems.
- Dry-then-install: Install the membrane as soon as the primer is dry for best results.
- 5 gal pail: Sold in a 5 gal blue pail covering varying rates by surface permeability.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Coverage rates vary with the amount applied and the permeability of the surface being coated. Porous concrete and untreated wood absorb more primer than denser plywood, so plan additional material for rough or absorptive decks.
Fit and Compatibility:
Use beneath Elevate V-Force Vapor Barrier Membranes, Enverge Air & Vapor Barrier SA Membranes and CLAD-GARD Metal Roof Underlayment. Install the membrane as soon as the primer is dry.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is included?
A: One 5 gal pail of blue, water-based polymer emulsion primer.
Q: What surfaces does it prime?
A: Exterior concrete, wood and plywood surfaces that will receive self-adhered membranes.
Q: When do I install the membrane?
A: For best results, install the membrane as soon as the primer is dry.
Q: How much area does 5 gal cover?
A: Coverage varies by application amount and surface permeability; porous substrates consume more primer.

A: Store between 41°F and 105°F (5°C to 41°C) as stated by the manufacturer.
Q: Which products does it pair with?
A: V-Force Vapor Barrier Membranes, Enverge Air & Vapor Barrier SA Membranes and CLAD-GARD Metal Roof Underlayment.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Never skip primer on concrete, wood or plywood before laying self-adhered membrane — adhesion and peel strength depend on it. Apply a uniform coat, watch for it to turn dry to the touch, and roll membrane immediately so dust or moisture does not recontaminate the surface. On highly porous or chalky decks, a second thin coat beats one heavy coat.
Apply only within the recommended temperature range and verify the substrate is dry and sound before priming; follow the safety data sheet for handling.
