Full Product Manual

Application
Apply primer in dry weather with ambient and substrate 
temperatures above 25°F (-4°C). Surface must be dry and clean.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be free from frost, dirt, grease, oil or other 
contaminants. Failure to remove excessive dust may result in 
compromised adhesion of the membrane.
In cooler or humid conditions, priming may be done in advance. 
If primed surface is exposed for more than 7 days, or if 
signicant dust or dirt accumulates on the surface, re-prime with 
a thin coat of Perm-A-Barrier WB Primer.

 in. (13 mm), nap rollers have been found to be very 
successful for the application of Perm-A-Barrier WB Primer. A 
moderately thick coating should be applied and rolled out evenly 
(see coverage below). A properly applied coating will have 
uniform coverage and leave a tacky nish to the surface when 
dry.

Drying Time
To be effective, the Perm-A-Barrier WB Primer needs to fully 
dry. Drying time of the material is dependent on many factors 
including temperature, humidity, wind, sunlight and coverage 
rate. The drying time could vary from as little as 15 min. (warm 
and windy) to 3 hours (cold and no wind), depending on the 
weather condition. The following are guidelines for dry time at 
various temperatures: 
•  90°F (32 °C) or greater: 
45 min.–1 hr
•  50°F (10°C) to 90°F (32 °C): 
1–3 hrs
•  Less than 50°F (10°C): 
3 hrs +
