Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Choose this adhesive when bonding EPDM membrane or flashing where a low-VOC contact adhesive is specified. Apply to both surfaces at the manufacturer’s spread rate, watch for proper flash-off before mating the surfaces, and confirm cold-weather application guidance from the manufacturer’s technical bulletins. Order pail quantity from your roll and flashing takeoff so seams and perimeter work are not interrupted.

Solvent-based adhesives are flammable and emit vapors: use in well-ventilated conditions, keep away from ignition sources, and follow the product SDS and local safety requirements.
