Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Apply the primer in a thin, even coat to clean, dry membrane and let it flash off before laying tape or peel-and-stick material per JM's instructions. Stir the pail thoroughly and keep the lid closed between uses because solvent-based primers lose strength as they evaporate. Choose the 3-gallon size for full seam-replacement projects and smaller containers for detail work.
Solvent-based primer is flammable; provide ventilation, keep away from ignition sources and follow the safety data sheet.
Order JM EPDM Tape Primer Plus Low-VOC in the 3-gallon pail for reliable tape and peel-and-stick bonding.
