• MS300 rolls must be stored indoors, in a dry location.
• Rolls must be stored on end only. Do not store in a leaning position.
• The rolls must be protected from the elements. Do not expose rolls to direct sunlight.
• Store rolls at room temperature. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures may reduce the adhesive characteristics of the membrane.
• Install MS300 only when material interface temperatures (air, deck, material) are 40° F and rising.
• Do not install when any form of moisture such as water, ice, snow, dew, rain, etc. is present.
• Ensure roof has positive drainage prior to installation.
• Proper ventilation is critical. When applying over the entire roof deck, the roofing system must provide sufficient ventilation, including both ridge and soffit venting.
• A full, irreversible adhesion is achieved when the underlayment goes through a complete heat cycle. Do not attempt to remove the underlayment immediately after adhesion to the substrate.
• Use of a hand-held “hot air gun” might help in enhancing adhesion during application of
• underlayment in cooler weather.
• MS300 must be covered with a finished roof covering within the specified exposure time of the product.
• Refer to section on Features and Benefits for exposure times.

Surface Preparation:

• Surface must be clean, dry, and without voids that may interfere with adhesion.
• For re-roofing, all old roofing and other loose materials must be removed prior to installation.
• Acceptable substrates for adhesion of LeakBarrier membranes can be found at the Tarco website.
• For best results, surface may be primed with an ASTM D 41 Primer prior to installation of MS300. When primer is used, ensure the primer is fully dry prior to application of MS300.
• Cut MS300 roll to suitable, manageable lengths before
• installation.
• Place a full width piece of the pre-cut MS300 underlayment on the substrate, parallel to the eave (low) edge of the roof.
• Align MS300 so that it is parallel with the edge of the eave and extend over the eave and rake approximately 3/8".
• Place the side lap on the up side of the roof, fold back the sheet, and remove the exposed release film, taking care not to displace the sheet.
• Working from the center out, roll the sheet onto the substrate, taking care to avoid wrinkles and ridges.
• MS300 must be set straight. Repeat this process for the remaining half of the sheet.
• Starting at the middle and extending to one end of MS300, drive securing nails in 18" centers in the side lap area, 1½" from the edge. Do not drive the nails all the way in.
• Backroll the unsecured portion of the roll up the middle where the first securing nail is driven.
• Apply a 1/16" thick layer of roofing lap cement over the eave and rake metal drip edges extending 2" to 3" onto the deck surface where the roll will intersect.
• Remove the securing nails from the other half of MS300, backroll and apply in like manner.

• On slopes greater than 2:12, drive nails flush in the selvage area 1½" from the edge on 18" centers, after MS300 has been applied and prior to the next overlapping course.
• Apply full roll width, a 1/16" thick layer of roofing lap cement to the surface of the first course in the 6" end lap area before adhering the next course.
• Apply the next eave course in the same manner overlapping the first course at the end lap by 6".
• Lap the succeeding course over the lap area.
• Apply succeeding courses in like manner, as in steps above.
• Stagger the end laps a minimum 3' from the preceding course.
• Install capped or tin tagged nails 6 inches on center in the middle of the selvage edge (side lap) or fasten according to applicable Building Codes.
• At the T-joint (where an end lap and next overlapping course intersect), apply a bead of roofing lap cement before the overlapping course is laid.
• Roll the entire membrane surface, paying special attention to side laps, end laps and T-joints. Roller weight shall be 70 lb. minimum for low slope (<2:12 pitch) and 28 lb. minimum for steep slope (>2:12 pitch).
