It embeds into the wet basecoat and stretches with the substrate, with 300% multi-directional elongation and crack-bridging that outperforms standard reinforcement tapes. In most cases it lets you bridge failed or moving joints without cutting out and replacing old sealant first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCenter the tape over the joint, crack, or flashing. Lay down a bed of basecoat about 10 mils thick, then gently embed the tape into the wet coating so the resin bleeds through and saturates the mesh. Do not prime over the tape. After two hours or more, apply a second pass of basecoat and feather it smoothly onto the adjacent surface. Coat it the same day it is installed and keep it protected from rain and standing water until it is covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e crack, joint, seam, and flashing reinforcement under fluid-applied membranes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 in x 450 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElongation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300% multi-directional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 0.005 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e polyurethane, silicone, acrylic, and cementitious coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poly-Tuff blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall:\u003c\/strong\u003e embed into a ~10 mil wet basecoat, recoat after 2 hours, coat the same day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e single roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse it with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBed it into your B-Tuff or P-Tuff basecoat over detail areas, then carry the field membrane and a Top-Shield topcoat across the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do I use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver expansion and control joints, cracks, seams, plywood transitions, flashings, and other high-stress areas that need to move without telegraphing through the membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I prime over it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Do not prime over Max-FD Tape.
