How can I repair a damaged Roof Pro Torch-On underlay?

Clean the damaged area, then cut a piece of the underlayment to patch it, making sure it overlaps the damaged area. Heat the patch with a torch, ensuring it adheres well to the existing material.

Troubleshooting

Membrane not adhering properly.

Ensure the roof deck is clean and dry. Check that the torch flame is correctly adjusted for proper heating. Increase heat if needed, and make sure to apply enough pressure during the roll out of the membrane.

Blisters or bubbles appearing after application.

Ensure the roof deck is dry, and use a vented base sheet to allow moisture to escape. If the issue persists, carefully cut the blister and re-seal the area.

Ensure sufficient heat is applied to the seam and that it is adequately overlapped. If required, re-torch the seams.
