Features & Benefits

• General: Substrate should be clean, dry and free of dew, frost, oil, salt, dust and rust
• TPO/EPDM: Clean with rags and acetone to remove any oil or grime
• Silicone: Do not apply over silicone coatings or sealants
• PVC/Plastic: Remove chalking with light sanding or scouring prior to application. Course sand paper or steel wool can be used
• BUR & MOD-BIT: Use wire brush to remove loose granules on cap sheets
• Gravel: Spud all embedded gravel on Gravel BUR before applying
• Metal: Use APOC Incredible Tape on the seams and joints of metal surfaces. Remove all rust with wire brush. After application, seal polyester with APOC coating or mastic extending coating or mastic at least 2.5 cm onto substrate surface

Application

1. Cut Incredible Tape to length. Shorter lengths (less than 1.2 m) are easier to work with unless using a team of two or more applicators

2. Hold edge of tape with thumb and index finger of both hands about 3-5 cm apart. Repeatedly wiggle tape ends back and forth scrunching the end of tape. Watch for edge of release liner to loosen away from tape and peel back release liner

3. Press tape in place using a gloved hand or a steel roller. Always roll from the center out to remove trapped air pockets and fish mouths

4. Apply the exact length to predetermined location as tape cannot be peeled up and reset

5. Puncture air pockets in tape and cut out tape wrinkles before continuing. Reseal puncture and cuts. When working in corners, start in corners to eliminate “tenting”

6. When installing fleece-top tape, it must be coated with an APOC acrylic coating or patch after installation. This tape must be completely saturated and sealed. After coating, product can be spray painted to colour match

Storage & Weather

For best results, test adhesion on membranes before applying. Do NOT store at temperatures above 43°C. Do NOT stretch tape during installation.

In cold weather, allow Incredible Tape to remain inside at ambient room temperature (18-24°C) before application. When applying in temperatures between -34°C and 4°C, apply primer and let cure 30 minutes prior to installation of tape. Warming the substrate with a hot air gun is also helpful.

In hot weather, keep rolls out of direct sunlight and in shade. Pre-peel edges approx. 1.25 cm to speed up installation.
