Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Never install self-adhered membranes over unprimed, dusty or damp substrates; priming with a compatible primer like this is what makes the adhesive bond hold long term. Apply an even, uninterrupted film and allow it to dry per the manufacturer's direction before unrolling membrane. For large commercial jobs, plan pail counts from tested consumption rates rather than estimates.
Solvent-based primers release flammable vapors, so provide ventilation, keep ignition sources away, and wear appropriate respiratory and skin protection.
Order the SOPREMA RESISTO Exterior Primer 5-gallon pail to prepare your substrate for self-adhesive membranes.
