1.  Clean the roof surface of all debris and nails. Re-fasten any loose roof boards.
2. Fill any gaps larger than 3/8” inch with wooden strips. The EPDM cannot span gaps of more than 3/8″ without risk of possible adhesion issues.
3. Start at the bottom of the roof and roll out the EPDM from one side of the roof to the other and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Fold bottom half of the membrane onto the top half of the in place membrane
4. Apply the bonding adhesive to the exposed roof deck and NOT to the EPDM membrane as the adhesive is to be applied as a one surface WET LAMINATE using a notched trowel to spread the adhesive in a pattern over the decking. Slowly fold the EPDM roofing membrane back into place while the adhesive is tacky and moist, and NOT still totally wet. This takes 10 to 15 minutes normally depending on your weather conditions. Please be aware NOT to lay the EPDM into WET adhesive but damp and tacky.  To ensure adhesive transfer and a good bond, use a stiff bristled push broom and force the membrane into contact with the adhesive on the roof deck. Repeat the process on the other half of the EPDM membrane.
5.  Roll out the next piece of membrane, allowing a four to six inch overlap on the piece below it. This overlap is crucial to allow enough overlap between the two pieces and to allow the water to flow from the upper part of the roof down to the roof edge. This is also to allow enough room to apply the primer and 3” seam tape if required to splice 2 pieces of EPDM deck sheet together.
6.  Adhere this section in the same manner as the first section. Continue adding sections until you have covered your roof.
