Bonding substrates must be clean, dryand free of dust or other inhibitors of proper adhesion.Ambient temperature must be 50ºF or above. Store Flintlastic SA rolls indoors on pallets, protectedfrom the elements. Rolls that are improperly stored orhave been warehoused for prolonged periods of timemay lose their tack. Do not apply membrane that has been improperlystored, exposed to moisture, or has lost its tack. If thematerial isn’t bonding, STOP the application!section of the CertainTeed Commercial Roof SystemsManual for details.Deck PreparationCertainTeed recommends the use of the mechanicallyfastened Flintlastic SA NailBase base sheet in conjunctionwith all self-adhering membrane roof installations. Notethat without the use of a base sheet, the membranemay be difficult to later remove (if necessary) and certainUL approvals for the system may not apply. Prior toapplication of Flintlastic SA products, ensure roofs havepositive drainage. Consult the local building official forminimum slope and drainage requirements.Application of Flintlastic SA NailBaseBeginning at the low point of the roof, mechanicallyfasten Flintlastic SA NailBase to nailable deck usingappropriate fasteners (see fasteners chart below). Always remember to put safety first and follow all OSHAsafety guidelines with any roofing installation. Substrates must be free of dust, dirt, oil, debrisand moisture. Primer, if used, must be applied at the specified rateand must be allowed to thoroughly dry. Work with manageable lengths of Mid Ply and Cap forthe particular job. Where appropriate, cut rolls into1/3- or 1/2-roll lengths and allow material to relax priorto installation. In cooler weather, a hand-held hot air welding gunStandard (Round Head) Roofing Nails and Capcan be used to warm the sidelap areas and improve(Note: CertainTeed does not permit the useadhesion (prior to application of the FlintBond SBSof plastic caps) For use with Base Sheet, Flash/Modified Bitumen Adhesive).Termination Bar on Plywood Decks, Non Veneer Use caution with the weighted roller at endlap areas.Decks, Wood Plank DecksDon’t squeeze out too much adhesive.

Start with an appropriate roll width (1/2 roll) toaccommodate offsetting of sidelaps of subsequent layersof Cap sheet. Install so that no sidelaps are against theflow of water. A minimum fastening pattern is every 9"on center on sidelaps and every 18" on center in twostaggered rows in the field of the sheet.Before Installing Flintlastic SA Cap(or SA Cap FR)If roof edge detail utilizes edge metal, proceed asfollows. Over the Flintlastic SA NailBase, install a 9" widestrip of Mid Ply to that dimension extending 6" onto thefield of the roof and flush to the roof edge, self-adhered.Install minimum 26 gauge edge metal using appropriatefasteners, set entirely in a uniform 1/8"-1/4" thick trowelingPosition SA Cap (or SA Cap FR) with selvage edgerelease strip at high side of roof.

Remove any oil from the metal surface using avinegar and water solution. Prime the horizontal surfaceof the metal with FlintPrime or FlintPrime SA and allowprimer to dry. Apply a bead of caulk grade FlintBond SBSModified Bitumen Adhesive at the roof side edge of themetal where it meets the Mid Ply strip. Proceed with capsheet installation.Once positioned, lift and fold back (lengthwise) the lowerhalf of the membrane. Remove the split release film andpress firmly into place. Then repeat with the other half ofthe membrane (high side of the roof).Similarly, complete your sheet metal flashing installationusing cut Mid Ply strips at all flashing details prior toOverlap sidelaps 3" and endlaps 6".

Follow with the overlapping sheet, trimming the upperoutside corner. Corners should be trimmed on a diagonal angle5-1/2" long from end of roll to outside edge. Width of trim should be equal in width to the sidelapspecified (3" for Flintlastic SA Cap [or SA Cap FR]). Trimmed corners should be completely covered byapplication of succeeding courses. Note: If using Flintlastic SA Mid Ply (or PlyBase), applyquarter-size dab of FlintBond at T-seam area. If usingFlintlastic SA Cap (or SA Cap FR), the endlap shouldbe completely set in trowel grade FlintBond along theentire 6" lap width.Once the membrane has had a chance to bond, checkall laps and joints for full adhesion. If the membranecan be lifted at any area it is not properly adhered. Aseam probing tool can be helpful to check for smallvoids at laps. If necessary, use appropriate hand-heldhot air welding tool and seam roller or an application ofFlintBond to seal small unbonded areas if they exist.3-Ply Applications and Large Commercial RoofsTo find out more about 3-Ply applications of FlintlasticSA and large commercial roof installations, please referto Comm-123 Flintlastic SA Self-Adhering SBS ModifiedBitumen Roof Systems or visit our website atwww.CertainTeed.com/LowSlopeTechInfo.Rake Edge Detail Cut selvage area at an angle at all rake edges.
