2.) Termination Bar, surface mounted reglet or surface mounted counter
flashings must be installed directly to the wall surface.
B.) Application
Adhere the flashing membrane to walls, curbs and other vertical surfaces with Flex
Flashing Adhesive. The Flashing Adhesive is applied to both the membrane and the
surface to which it is bonded. The coverage rate is dependent on the type of substrate but
should average approximately 60 square feet per gallon for both the membrane and the
substrate. The flashing adhesive is allowed to dry until it is tacky and the flashing
membrane is rolled into the adhesive.
1.) Complete all seams of the flashing membrane by the hot air welding
method.
2.) Refer to the current Flex Membrane installation for applicable detail
requirements.

2.) Thoroughly clean and prepare the area of the roof membrane that is to be
hot air welded to the walkway pad.

4.) Position sections of the walkway pad to leave a space between adjacent
sheets approximately 2” wide.
5.) Do not cover field seams with the Walkway Pad. Position the pads to
leave minimum 4” wide area exposed at the field seams.
6.) Hot air weld all four sides of the walkway pad to the field membrane.

B.) The membrane may be temporarily sealed by securing the down slope edge with roof
cement, hot asphalt, spray urethane foam or similar water blocking materials.
C.) Embed the membrane into the sealant product and insure continuous contact.
D.) The following day, when the installation is resumed, cut away and discard the membrane
where the night seal was applied before continuing with installing the adjoining section.
