VYCOR® Self-Adhered Flashings (VYCOR® Plus, VYCOR® V40, VYCOR® Aluminum, VYCOR® PRO and VYCOR® Deck Protector®) are to be applied directly to a clean and dry surface. Some suitable substrates include wood, pressure treated wood, plywood, wood composition, oriented strand board (OSB), metal, Integral WRB Sheathing (Such as Huber Zip System®), vinyl, concrete, masonry and gypsum sheathing. For additional information, refer to product literature and Technical Letter 1, Chemical Compatibility with Other Building Materials, located in the product manual and on our web sites.
Remove dust, dirt, and loose nails. Protrusions must be removed. Surfaces shall have no voids, damaged, or unsupported areas. Repair surfaces before installing the membrane.
Priming is generally not required for most substrates provided they are clean and dry. However, on concrete, masonry and DensGlass Gold®, apply PERM-A-BARRIER® WB Primer. If adhesion is found to be marginal, also prime wood composition and gypsum sheathing with PERM-A-BARRIER WB Primer. The coverage rate for PERM-A-BARRIER WB Primer is 250–350 ft2/gal (6–8 m2/L).
