PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. When applying a Liquid‐Applied Roofing System as a recover over an existing roofing system, GAF
requires investigation of moisture in the existing system through various Moisture Survey methods.
See Substrate Preparation Guide for Liquid Applied Roofing Systems for requirements.
B. Verify that substrate surfaces are durable, free of frozen matter, dampness, loose particles, cracks,
pits, projections, and/or foreign matter detrimental to adhesion or application of waterproofing
system.
C. Verify that substrate surfaces are smooth and not detrimental to full contact bond of waterproofing
materials. Perform test patches to verify substrate suitability to receive the HydroStop PremiumCoat
System. Field test methods are outlined in the GAF Substrate Preparation Guide for Liquid‐Applied
Roofing Systems.
D. Verify items that penetrate surfaces to receive waterproofing are securely installed and suitably
flashed.
E. Verify that substrate areas are adequately supported and firmly fastened in place.
F. Verify that roof deck has a minimum slope of ¼:12.
G. Verify that roof does not have areas of ponding water.
H. Verify that all contiguous walls are properly waterproofed.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Protect adjacent surfaces not designated to receive waterproofing.
B. Inspect and make all necessary repairs to substrate. Remove and replace wet substrates and
insulation, if applicable.
C. At a minimum, clean and prepare surfaces to receive waterproofing by removing all dirt, dust, loose
and flaking particles, grease and debris with the use of a stiff bristle push broom. Apply United
Cleaning Concentrate and rinse per manufacturer’s instructions. Care should be taken not to inject
water into the substrate during the preparation phase. Allow adequate time for complete drying
after the cleaning process.
D. Substrates with heavy contamination of grease, oils, dirt, etc. may require supplemental cleaning
methods. Contact a GAF Technical Services or Technical Sales Representative for additional
information.
7
SECTION 07560
E. At a minimum, seal cracks and joints with Butter Grade and PremiumCoat Fabric. Repair additional
substrate conditions per approved GAF details. Contact a GAF Technical Services or Technical Sales
Representative for additional information.

ADDENDUM 1 – Existing Membranes (BUR / APP / SBS / EPDM / Hypalon / PVC / TPO)
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Preparation and Priming by Substrate:
1. Asphaltic Membranes (Smooth BUR / APP / SBS)

b. Prime new asphaltic surfaces with UniBase Primer at a rate of .5 ‐1.0 gallon per square (2‐4.1 L/10
m2) using a roof brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Coverage rate will vary by substrate porosity. For
aged asphaltic surfaces, Unibase Primer is recommended to promote adhesion and enhance
bleed‐blocking.
2. PVC and Hypalon
b. Adhesion test is required. If results are less than 2.0 pli, contact a GAF Technical Services or
Technical Sales Representative to identify supplemental cleaning or priming requirements.
3. TPO
b. Apply GAF TPO Red Primer at a rate of .5 gallons per square(2 L/10 m2).
4. EPDM
a. Apply CleanAct Primer at a rate of .2 gallons per square (0.8 L/10 m2). CleanAct should remain on
the EPDM surface for 10‐30 minutes, followed by two separate power rinses, using clean water, at
a minimum of 3,000 psi (20,680 kPa).
b. Using a clean white towel, verify that all carbon black has been removed from the surface of the
EPDM. Verify adhesion per Section 3.1.C. and repeat cleaning if necessary.

FoundationCoat, and a second coat of FoundationCoat immediately applied over the top at the rate
of of 1.25 to 2.0 gallons / square (5.1‐8.2 L/10 m2) to saturate the Fabric. FoundationCoat is applied
at a total rate of 2.5 to 4.0 gallons / square (10.2 – 16.3 L/10 m2), depending on the texture and
porosity of the substrate. FoundationCoat should only be applied using approved roof brushes.
Rolling and/or spraying FoundationCoat is strictly prohibited. Total Dry Film Thickness of
FoundationCoat & Fabric Components is a minimum 27 mils.

faster dry times of individual coats, alternate colors of PremiumCoat® FinishCoat may be applied.
3. Precautions:
a. PremiumCoat® FinishCoat should not be applied at rates exceeding 1.5 gallons / square ( 6.1 L/10
m2) in a single coat.
b. Atmospheric conditions may require application rates of less than 1.5 gallons /square (6.1 L/10
m2) per coat to allow for reasonable cure times, as well as preventing “cracking” of the
FinishCoat.
c. The installing contractor is responsible for adjusting application rates and number of coats
installed based on conditions such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, and future weather
forecasting as they relate to a specific application of the PremiumCoat® system.

D. System Options for Warranty and Guarantee Coverage:
10‐Year Option – Apply a minimum of 2 coats of PremiumCoat® FinishCoat (“FinishCoat”) at a total finished rate

applied over the top at the rate of of 1.25 to 2.0 gallons / square (5.1 – 8.2 L/10 m2) to saturate
the Fabric. FoundationCoat is applied at a total rate of 2.5 to 4.0 gallons / square (10.2 – 16.3
L/10 m2), depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate. FoundationCoat should only
be applied using approved roof brushes. Rolling and/or spraying FoundationCoat is strictly
prohibited. Total Dry Film Thickness of FoundationCoat & Fabric Components is a minimum 27
mils.

above), seal all horizontal laps. Foundation Coat and Fabric components must be centered on
the panels laps. Protect from weather until dry.
4. Exposed Mechanical Fasteners – Using either a Hydro Cap or a 6” x 6” (152 x 152 mm) piece
of Fabric and Foundation Coat Component (described above), seal all mechanical fasteners.
Protect from weather until dry.
5. Parapet & Vertical Wall junctions – Using 12” (305 mm) fabric Foundation Coat
components (described above), waterproof all roof/wall junctions. Continue waterproofing
up vertical surfaces and onto deck a minimum of 6” (152 mm) in each direction.

promote faster dry times of individual coats, alternate colors of PremiumCoat® FinishCoat
may be applied.
