Liquid roof cure time.
Asked may 11 2018 in liquid roof by dennis hatcher.
If rafters are too skimpy the roof will sag especially along the ridge.
However as the liquid roof begins its cure process and solvent slowly evaporates the sheet will shrink and return to its original shape.
The higher the temperature the quicker.
Undersize rafters and sheathing.
One of the greatest benefits is its slow cure time.
Another unique advantage is the slow cure time or the time it takes for the liquid material to fully adhere and harden on the roof deck.
At 70 degrees fahrenheit and above it will take approximately 14 hours for the rubber to feel solid to the touch.
Cure time is controlled by temperature.
The lowest temperature at which any cure takes place is 55 degrees.
What is the cure time for liquid roof.
Although it sounds like a disadvantage it really is one of the key benefits and here is why.
Do not apply liquid roof in a heavy film as this will aggravate the swelling reaction in the sheet.
How long is the primer cure time at 80 degrees.
Other coatings dry quickly leaving air trapped between the substrate and the coating this provides for an unstable roof coating and eventually leads to cracking and separation.
At first glance this may seem like a disadvantage until you realize that even when wet the material provides a waterproof barrier.
If the sheathing is too thin the roof will sag between rafters and look wavy.
