- Method of Application
- Install RubberGard Neoprene in accordance with current RubberGard specifications, details and workmanship requirements.
- Neoprene may be used to tie-in RubberGard roofs to existing built-up roofs, although the tie-ins are not warranted by Firestone.
- Neoprene may be used in conjunction with grease catch pans to protect RubberGard roofing systems from grease/oil exposure. Consult Firestone for specific precautions and application when contaminants will come in contact with the RubberGard roofing system.
- Use of heat guns during cold weather will improve workability of membrane; but a wide nozzle should be used and care should be taken not localize heat, as damage to the membrane may result.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
- Store away from sources of puncture and physical damage.
- Store in original unopened cartons between 60 °F (15.6 °C) and 80 °F (26.7 °C) until ready for use.
- Rotate stock to insure stored material will not extend beyond the shelf life of 12 months from manufacture date.
- Do not store in direct sunlight or elevated temperatures until use, as this hastens cure.
- Shelf Life
- Shelf life of twelve months from date of manufacture can be expected when stored at temperature between
- 60 °F (15.6 °C) and 80 °F (26.7 °C). Shelf life will be shortened if product is exposed to elevated temperatures.
