Read all label instructions before beginning.
Always run a test patch first in an inconspicuous area,
to ensure that proper adhesion and drying occurs and the
product works to your satisfaction. Be sure surfaces are
clean and dry before the coating application.
 1.
Prime the Roof Surface with Super PrimerTM
Prime with 1 or 2 coats of Super
Primer or until the roof surface is smooth and sealed.
Seam Tape: Surfaces
with joints, cracks, flashings, vents, parapet wall flashings
or where two unlike surfaces come together, will need Ames’
Peel & Stick Seam Tape to provide some additional strength
and reinforcement. Peel & Stick is applied over
the Super Primer after it has dried. To apply Peel &
Stick simply:
1. Peel off the protective backing
2. Line up the tape with the seam
3. Press into place, using your fingers to shape with the
contours of the surface.

 2.
Apply Super Elasto-Barrier
Apply a coat of Ames' Super Elasto-Barrier dual-rubber Coating.
Super Elasto-Barrier is up to 1000% elastic to expand and
contract with the roof surface.
 3.
Topcoat with Maximum-Stretch Product
For best results, topcoat the Super Elasto-Barrier with
Maximum Stretch roof coating. Maximum-Stretch, when applied
in white, reflects 98% of the sun's heat and UV rays. It
will substantially reduce roof temperatures, saving on cooling
costs.
Clean up & Storage of coatings
Clean up tools and small spills with water. Store unused
product in its original can, tightly sealed at 45 to 85
degree F. Dispose of this product in accordance with state
and federal and local requirements.
Weather & Drying
Guidelines
Ames Coatings are best applied between
40 to 90 degrees F. on warm dry surfaces. Apply when the
streets are dry, the sun is in the sky, and no inclement
weather is forecast. Dries in 1-2 hours, depending on thickness
of application and weather; and cures in 24 hours. Low temperatures,
high humidity, and evening and morning dew will require
increased drying/curing time.
Estimated Coverage
Standard product coverage on a smooth
surface is 100 sq. ft. per gallon per coat (est. 10ml).
More than one coat recommended. More coats equal longer
life.
