Question: Do I need a primer for my project? 

Answer: Use of an appropriate primer will almost always increase bond and may also provide a moisture vapor barrier. For decks and ponds, and when applying to EPDM or other smooth, non-porous materials, primer can be critical to the success of your project

Question: Do I need to use Seam Tape or Geo-Textile for my project? 

Answer: Liquid Rubber Seam Tape and Liquid Rubber Geo-Textile are reinforcing tapes used to reinforce your coatings in area's that are subject to expansion and contraction (like joints, cracks, around penetrations, etc.).

These products help prevent the coating from cracking in these "prone" area's and are critical to the long term performance of your waterproofing.

Answer: Liquid Rubber Seam Tape  is the premium reinforcement for metal roofs, joints/seams, cracks, and around penetrations on most surfaces. Use Liquid Rubber Geo-Textile on decks and as the cheaper alternative reinforcing fabric on other projects.

Question: How do I store my Liquid Rubber Products for later use? 

Answer: Store them in a cool, dry place that is above 5C/41F (do not allow to freeze). If you are storing an opened pail, I would recommend putting some plastic wrap over the lid, and placing a weighted object on the lid to better engage the rubber gasket, before storing in a cool dry place and not allowing to freeze.

Answer: If properly stored, your Liquid Rubber Products should be good for up to 1 year.

Answer: It is recommended to purchase your products as needed to ensure they are good for use when needed. Improperly stored and/or opened material may potentially harden.
