The primer is dry when sticky but not messy when touched. NOTE: Primed surfaces may be slippery until the primer dries. Be careful when walking on the roof. INSTALLING THE LASTOBOND PRO HT- N or HT-S PERIMETER The LASTOBOND PRO membrane must be installed as a reinforcement at the perimeter of the roof and other areas at risk of water leakage such as ridges, valleys, parapets, and upstands of the roof before the HR CAP SHEET is installed. Position the membrane parallel to the edge of the roof, leaving a 3 in (8 cm) overhang on the edge where the gutter will be installed. Fig. ➐ If the gutter is already installed, apply the membrane beginning at the edge of the roof. Install the membrane two rolls wide at the bottom of the slope (near the gutter) and one roll wide around the remaining roof edge and the construction details. Fig. ➐ Unroll and position the membrane. Peel back the release sheet on the bottom surface by 12 to 16 in (30 to 40 cm) and fold back to one side. Adhere the uncovered part to the substrate. Fig. ➊ Holding the other end of the membrane, gradually peel back the release sheet and, using a push broom (or other accessory); press the membrane onto the substrate while continuing to slowly peel back the release sheet. Adhere the membrane in the centre first, and then press outward to the edges. Fig. ➋ Apply pressure on the membrane using a metal or hard rubber roller to ensure it adheres completely to the base, taking care to avoid the formation of blisters, wrinkles, and fishmouths. Overlap the sides by 3 in (8 cm). Overlap the ends by 6 in (15 cm). ➌ ➍ ➎ ➏ SEALER ADHERED part ➊ Silicone-treated release sheet EDGE FLASHING Once the membrane is installed, attach the metal edge flashing.

PROTECTING CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Use LASTOBOND PRO HT-N and/or RED ZONE membrane. See the illustrations on page 9 of this guide. INSTALLING THE HR CAP SHEET The HR CAP SHEET should be installed horizontally, beginning at the bottom of the slope. Install the membrane directly on the surface to be covered, beginning at the lower edge of the roof. Unroll and position the membrane. Fig. ➌ Fold the membrane back on itself over half its width, i.e., 20 in (50 cm), along the entire length of the pre-positioned membrane. Fig. ➍ Kneel on the unfolded section to make sure it does not shift during this operation. Peel back the release sheet from the folded section, letting the membrane fall back on the substrate. The self-adhesive surface will come into contact with the substrate. Fig. ➍ Then, fold back the other half of the HR CAP SHEET and repeat the preceding steps. Immediately press down on the membrane with a metal or hard rubber roller. Fig. ➎ Make sure the membrane adheres completely to the substrate to avoid the formation of blisters, wrinkles, and fishmouths. For steep slope roofs, the HR CAP SHEET should preferably be installed vertically, by positioning the first strip along one vertical edge of the roof. Unroll and position the membrane vertically, parallel to the slope of the roof. The RESISTO single-ply roofing system is guaranteed for 15 years against any manufacturing defects that could cause leaks. This warranty applies to all low slope residential roofs that drain to the outside edge and that do not have roof drains. The slope of the roof must be at least 1:12 or 8%.

14 26 ROOFS ROOFS 27 SURFACE PREPARATION The surface must be dry. Remove any loose particles or other substances that might interfere with adherence. On metal surfaces, remove grease and oil, if any, prior to applying the product. SUBSTRATE SBS modified bitumen membrane Concrete of fibrocement panels Wood and plywood Metal APPLYING RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE Mix thoroughly before applying. Impregnate the surface to be prepared with adhesive using a brush or roller. Reinforce transitions and joints between two bases with RESISTOFLASH REINFORCEMENT membrane. Install immediately after the coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE. NOTES RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE is designed to resist UV radiation and can remain unprotected. Do not spread more than 10 ft (3 m) at a time. APPLICATION AND CURING TIMES Once the RESISTOFLASH REINFORCEMENT has been installed, immediately cover with a first coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE. Cover the first coat with a second coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE after 2 to 3 hours. This curing time corresponds to the polymerization of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE at an ambient temperature of 68 F (20 C). Favourable conditions such as hot, humid, or windy weather can significantly reduce the curing time. OPTIONAL FINISHES Coloured granules: Small coloured granules can be spread on the last coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE while it is still wet. Use approximately 1.2 kg/m ². Spread the granules from bottom to top using a plastic trowel. The granules can also be added later by first spreading a thin coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE (250 g/m ² ) on the surface. Anticorrosion sealant: A coat of ANTICORROSION SEALANT (approx. 200 to 250 g/m²) can be applied to the surface for an aluminum finish. 1 Using a brush, roller, or spatula, apply a 4-in-wide (10 cm) coat of RESISTOFLASH ADHESIVE both horizontally and vertically at the bottom of the transitions between the roof and the upstands.
