Remove and replace all insulation which is either water soaked, soft or spongy. Mechanically fasten insulation and a minimum 43 lb. coated base sheet per manufacturer's recommendations.

APPLICATION

STEP 1: Starting at the low edge of the roof, coat the surface to which Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat is to be installed with Karnak #78AF Cold Process Cement at 2 gallons per 100 sq. ft., and then embed and brush in a 36" width of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat.

STEP 2: Coat the entire surface of the 36" width of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat and then 33" up the roof with Karnak #78AF Cold Process Cement at the rate of 2 gallons per 100 sq. feet. Embed and brush in a 36" width roll of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat. Overlap plies 2 to 4 inches.

STEP 3: Apply Karnak #78AF Cold Process Cement over entire deck at the rate of 3 gallons per 100 sq. ft. All layers of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat shall overlap the ends of the preceding sheet by 6". Reinforce all valleys with an extra layer of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat and Karnak #78AF Cold Process Cement. Cut lengths of Karnak #3036 Poly-Mat every 20 to 25 feet to avoid wrinkles and allow for excessive movement.
