Regarding aged EPDM membrane, what type of surface preparation is needed to perform any needed repairs?
Because EPDM is a thermal set membrane at the time of installation, no additional curing will occur. Repairs can easily be performed with simple tools and accessories without the need of heavy-duty equipment. For example, a cut or tear can be repaired by cleaning the membrane surface to remove field dirt (brooming in addition to washing with low sudsing soap and rinsing). The area is then primed and a laminated patch is used to seal the cut or tear.
