🛠️ How to Use Each Tool

Large Foam Roller

Use for applying contact adhesive over large membrane areas. The foam roller provides even coverage without leaving brush marks. Apply to both the membrane underside and the roof deck, working in sections of approximately 1m² at a time.

Seam Roller

Essential for creating watertight seams. After positioning membrane pieces, run the seam roller firmly along all edges and overlaps to ensure full contact between adhesive surfaces. Pay particular attention to corners and where the membrane meets trims.

Heavy-Duty Scissors

EPDM rubber requires sharp, strong scissors for clean cuts. These industrial-grade scissors handle 1.2mm-1.5mm thick membranes with ease. Always cut slightly oversize and trim to fit – you can't add material back once cut.

Detail Brush

For areas too small or intricate for the roller, such as around protrusions, in corners, and along edges. Also used for applying primer to deck surfaces before adhesive application.

📋 Installation Tips

1. Clean the deck – Remove all dust, debris, and loose material before starting
2. Work in dry conditions – EPDM adhesive requires dry surfaces
3. Apply adhesive evenly – Use the roller for consistent coverage
4. Wait for tack – Allow adhesive to become touch-dry before positioning membrane
5. Roll thoroughly – Use the seam roller to eliminate air bubbles and ensure bond
6. Overlap seams 75mm+ – Ensure adequate overlap for watertight joints
