The deck must be dry and clean before laying the membrane, position rubber and mark the deck as shown 100mm from the edge of the membrane. 
Roll membrane back and roller apply water based adhesive to the deck up to the marked line at a rate of 5 litres per 15m2. 
Mate rubber to the adhesive and sweep out any air bubbles, overlap the next piece of rubber 50mm. Repeat the process to cover the entire substrate.
