STEP 8

Fix the top section of the tape working from top to bottom overlapping the bottom section of tape.

Once the tape is fixed in place pressure must be applied with a seam roller to ensure correct adhesion.

All FlexiProof tapes are pressure sensitive and always require rolling.

You will now need to seal around this detail using lap edge sealant.
