D.	Position adjoining field membrane sheets to allow a minimum overlap of 6 inches at locations where Fastening Plates are located (along the length of the membrane); at the same time overlap end roll sections (width of the membrane) a minimum of 3 inches.
3.9	MEMBRANE PLACEMENT AND ATTACHMENT (Ballast Applied)
A.	Unroll and position membrane without stretching.  Allow the membrane to relax for approximately 1/2 hour prior to splicing.
B.	Install adjoining membrane sheets in the same manner, overlapping edges appropriately to provide for the minimum splice width.  It is recommended that all splices be shingled to avoid bucking of water.
3.10	MEMBRANE PLACEMENT AND ATTACHMENT (Asphalt Adhered)
A.	General:
1.	Store membrane in a dry area to prevent absorption of moisture in the fleece backing.  If moisture is present, it must be removed with a wet-vac system and the membrane must be allowed to fully dry prior to membrane adhesion.
2.	The temperature of the asphalt during application shall be within 25 F (4 C) from the Equiviscous Temperature (EVT).  The manufacturer's heating instructions (i.e., maximum heating temperature, prolonged storage temperature guidelines) must be strictly followed.
3.	Apply asphalt at a coverage rate of 18-22 pounds per square (100 square feet).  It is important that "heavy spots" of asphalt, typically occurring at mopping overlaps or where the mop is first positioned, be avoided.  At these areas, the asphalt must be spread evenly to avoid a heavy coverage rate that can cause asphalt saturation of the fleece backing.  Asphalt saturation of the fleece must be avoided.
4.	If spreaders are used to apply asphalt, care must be taken to ensure the proper coverage rate is maintained.  Do not overlap asphalt layers at multiple pass lines since the heavy coverage rate occurring at these overlapping areas must be avoided.
5.	Mopping the membrane directly to Polyisocyanurate insulation is not permitted. Carlisle HP Recovery Board must be used as an overlayment when insulation is specified. Carlisle Modified Base Sheet may be used in place of the Carlisle HP Recovery Board when fastened to a steel or wood deck following manufacturer's requirements for a maximum 25-year warranty.
B.	When positioning membrane along the length for tape or adhesive splices, allow the fleece backing to extend approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) above adjoining membrane to avoid direct contact between EPDM membrane and hot asphalt.
C.	When using a mop to apply asphalt, position the membrane over the substrate overlapping adjacent sheets to accommodate membrane splicing and fold in half lengthwise to expose the substrate and the back side of the membrane (full width of the membrane by approximately half the length).
D.	Beginning at the membrane fold, apply asphalt to the full width of the membrane extending a maximum of 3 to 6 feet while rolling the membrane into the asphalt immediately.  The asphalt temperature at the time of membrane adhesion must be above 350 F (176.7 C).  Continue to apply asphalt for the full width of the membrane extending 3 to 6 feet (914 - 1828 mm) at a time while embedding the membrane into the asphalt until the entire half of the sheet is adhered.  Fold back the unbonded half of the membrane and repeat the bonding procedures identified above.
E.	When using spreaders to apply asphalt, the membrane is folded widthwise dependent on the size of the spreader (36 to 57 inches wide); i.e., if a 36 inch wide spreader is used, the membrane will be folded to expose approximately a 36 inch wide by 50 foot long area.  After the asphalt is applied in a single pass, the membrane is rolled into the asphalt. After mopping the membrane, apply asphalt to the remaining substrate area in single passes and continue to bond membrane as identified above.
1.	Membrane must be embedded into asphalt immediately after each spreader pass to ensure asphalt temperature is at least 350 F (176.7 C) at the time of membrane embedment.
2.	Take care that the asphalt is not dropped directly on the back of the membrane.  Use a mop to spread asphalt at pass lines and under sheet folds to prevent a heavy coverage rate.
F.	After membrane mopping, immediately after adhesion, brush down the sheet with a soft bristled broom using light to medium pressure.  Do not use weighted rollers or heavy pressure when brooming the membrane to avoid asphalt saturation of the fleece.
3.11	MEMBRANE SPLICING (Adhesive Splice)
A.	Fold the top sheet back and clean the dry splice area (minimum 3 inches wide) of both membrane sheets by scrubbing with clean natural fiber rags saturated with Splice Cleaner or HP-250 Primer.  When using Sure-Seal (black) PRE-KLEENED membrane, cleaning the splice area is not required unless contaminated with field dirt or other residue.
B.	Apply Splicing Cement in accordance with the manufacturer's current application guidelines, and roll the top sheet onto the mating surface.
C.	Roll the splice with a 2 inch wide steel roller and wait at least 2 hours before applying Lap Sealant to the splice edge following the manufacturer's requirements.
D.	Field splices without In-Seam Sealant must be overlaid with uncured flashing.
3.12	MEMBRANE SPLICING (Tape Splice)
A.	Overlap adjacent sheets and mark a line 1/2 inch out from the top sheet.
B.	Fold the top sheet back and clean the dry splice area (minimum 2 1/2 inches (64 mm wide) of both membrane sheets with Sure-Seal Primer as required by the membrane manufacturer.
C.	Where Splice Tape is not Factory-Applied, apply Splice Tape to bottom sheet with the edge of the release film along the marked line.  Press tape onto the sheet using hand pressure.  Overlap tape roll ends a minimum of 1 inch (13 mm).
D.	Remove the release film and press the top sheet onto the tape using hand pressure.
E.	Roll the seam toward the splice edge with a 2 inch (51 mm) wide steel roller.
F.	Install Pressure-Sensitive "T" Joint Cover, a 6 inch wide (152 mm) section of Pressure-Sensitive Elastoform Flashing over all field splice intersections.
G.	When using non-Pressure-Sensitive Elastoform Flashing or Elastoform Flashing, seal edges of flashing with Lap Sealant.
H.	The use of Lap Sealant with tape splices is optional except at tape overlaps and cut edges of reinforced membrane where Lap Sealant is required.
3.13	FLASHING
A.	Wall and curb flashing shall be cured EPDM membrane.  Continue the deck membrane as wall flashing where practicable.
