How Do I Use Adhesive?

Alpha's 8011 adhesive provides a strong bond between your roof membrane and your RV's roof. How you apply the adhesive will depend on the surfaces of the materials you are bonding together.

If 1 of the 2 surfaces is porous - a surface with empty spaces that allow the passage of water or liquid - apply the adhesive to the membrane only. An example would be a roof made of untreated wood and an EPDM membrane. The untreated wood is porous, meaning coating it with the adhesive could cause it to seep into the wood. So, apply the adhesive to just the membrane, let it dry for 45 minutes to an hour, and then lay it onto the wood for a leak-free roof.

If both of the surfaces are non-porous, apply adhesive to both the membrane and the rooftop. For example, if you have a metal roof and you are laying down an PVC membrane, you can put the adhesive on both materials because their non-porous construction will keep the adhesive from seeping through.

After applying and laying the membrane flat, squeegee out the air bubbles that will inevitably form to ensure full contact between surfaces.
