PART 3 - APPLICATION
3.01 ROOF SUBSTRATE INSPECTION

D. All insulated systems must be evaluated to assure materials are not wet. All wet insulation must be removed
and replaced proir to installation of the Astec Re-Ply System.

3.02 SURFACE PREPARATION & CLEANING

A. Repair or replace damaged flashings, cracks and other imperfections. See 3.03 for details.

mastic or approved ASTEC Re-Ply product compliant with the existing substrate.

E. Allow repair areas to thoroughly dry before applying Astec Re-Ply System as in 3.03
F. Previously coated surfaces, including aluminum silver flake coatings, may require the application of ASTEC
#4000 Surface Conditioner prior to the ASTEC Re-Ply coating application. ASTEC #4000 Surface Conditioner
must be applied at a rate of 200-250 square feet per cut gallon and dry 1-2 hours prior to the application of
other coatings

3.03 ASTEC RE-PLY ROOF SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

A. Flashing Systems-including all roof penetrations, protrusions & mechanical units. Apply ASTEC #2000 Flash
Grade in a uniform manner. While still wet, embed appropriate sized reinforcing fabric into wet ASTEC #2000
Flash Grade. Apply a second coat of ASTEC #2000 Flash Grade for a total coverage rate of 40 square feet per
gallon resulting in a DFT of 30 mils. for odd or irregular shaped penetrations the use of WPM #10 is acceptable.
B. Over the entire roof surface spray apply and then backroll first coat of ASTEC Base Sealer #4 at a rate of 1
gallon per 100 square feet. Allow to dry thoroughly, usually taking a minimum of 8 hours. For all smooth asphalt
surfaces replace ASTEC Base Sealer #4 with ASTEC Base Sealer #8.
C. Reinforce all field seams, embed 4 wide reinforcing fabric into 8 wide wet coat of ASTEC Base Sealer #4.
Apply second 8 wide coat ASTEC Base sealer #4 at a total coverage rate over seams of 40 square feet
per gallon resulting in a minimum DFT of 25 mils.
D. Prior to installation of second coat of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 to the roof field, inspect the entire roof for
voids, fish-mouths & imperfections. Roof must be clean & dry.
3.03 ASTEC Re-Ply System Applications cont.

E. Spray apply second coat of ASTEC Base Sealer #4 in a cross-hatch pattern at a rate of 1 gallon per 100 square
feet, resulting in a minimum of 2 gallons per 100 square feet and a total DFT of 18 - 20
mils in the field. For Optional roof system application procedures see Notes - #2.
F. Spray apply ASTEC #2000 Finish at the rate of 2.0 gallons per 100 square feet using a cross-hatch pattern, in
two separate coats resulting in a minimum DFT of 20 mils. Total system minimum DFT of 38 - 40 mils over
the roof field and a minimum DFT of 55 Mils over seams, flashings & penetrations.

PROTECTION AND CLEAN-UP PROTECTION

A. The roof system and all components must be protected from all other trades at the job site.
B. All damage to the system must be repaired to comply with ASTEC Re-Ply guidelines prior to final inspection
for warranty approval. The cost of all related repairs will be the sole responsibility of the trades and/or
subcontractors responsible for the damages.

CLEAN-UP
A. Site cleanup is the responsibility of the contractor.
B. All debris, containers, materials, equipment, and protection materials must be removed from the premises and
properly disposed of. All work and storage areas must be in an undamaged and acceptable condition
upon completion of clean up.

DETAIL WORK
A. The purpose of this specification is to act as a guideline and is not intended to extensively describe
preparation procedures, scope of work to drains, ductwork, skylights, flashings, parapets, copings, scuppers,
etc. This work should be the result of consultation with contractors, manufacturers representatives and
end-users prior to commencement of the project and shall be performed using standard and acceptable
trade practices.

NOTES
1. In lieu of the WPM #10, ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 can be applied and, while still wet, embed a layer of
reinforcing fabric into the Base Sealer #4. Use caution to prevent voids and fishmouths in the fabric. Apply
a top layer of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 for a total coverage rate of 3 gallons of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 per
100 square feet.
2. OPTIONAL 3.03 ASTEC Re-Ply Roof System Application procedures. (see step E section 3.03) Steps B & C
may be interchanged provided minimum DFT thickness is achieved in each step.
3. Fully Reinforced Application Specification
a) Apply initial coat of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 over the entire roof surface at an average rate of 1 gallon
per 100 sq feet (100 square feet per gallon). Spraying and back rolling with a medium nap industrial roller
is the required method of applying this coat in order to ensure proper penetration of the coating into the
surface.
b) Inspect surface area again to be sure it is dry and free of all moisture, dirt, and dust debris before
applying each of the remaining coatings.
c) Apply second coat ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 in sections, at a rate of 1 gallon per 100 square feet (100 square
feet per gallon) while the sectioned area of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 is still wet, embed sections of 36
wide x 360 long re-enforcing fabric, making sure that the cloth is free of air bubbles, fish mouths and
wrinkles. Cloth should overlap at areas where cutting is required. Use of rollers to back roll is required. Do
not leave re-enforcing fabric uncoated with final coat of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 overnight or
if precipitation is imminent.
Notes cont.

d) Apply an additional coat of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 over the entire roof surface at an average coverage
rate 1 gallon per square feet (100 square feet per gallon). Total for all coats of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4
equals 3 gallons of ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 per 100 square feet. Minimum coverage rate for total
ASTEC BASE SEALER #4 without re-enforcing fabric shall have a DFT of 24 mils.
4. Foot Traffic- Areas of predictable excessive foot traffic, such as hatches, ladder access and around HVAC
units should have a protective layer of reinforcing fabric and ASTEC #2000 or compatible walk pads. See
fully reinforced application specification details above.
5. Tinting of any ASTEC products must be approved by ICC. Failure to do so may invalidate manufacturer
backed warranties.
6. Ten (10) Year Renewable Warranty Process follow guidelines for substrate inspection and surface
preparation/cleaning found in section 3.01 & 3.02 that are applicable to the existing warranted system. Upon
completion of the inspection and surface preparation follow guidelines found in Coatings Application
Section 3.03 E. Consult your ICC Representative for additional information.
