Your Products are Great

I bought some Super Elasto-Barrier, Maximum-Stretch and seam tape to use on my flat roofed garage with rolled roofing. In the eight years I have owned my home I have always had trouble with leaks. I have a 1000 sq. ft. garage so it’s not a small structure. Your product went on with such ease. In the last two weeks we have had a couple of downpours or rain and two days of constant rain. NO LEAKS!! I am so amazed. It is so nice to not have to worry about it anymore. If anyone has troubles with leaks I will pass on your name to them. I am going to let my roof go until next spring to see how tough winter is on it. Then next spring I will get some more Maximum-Stretch and give the areas where I have trouble another coat.

THANKS GUYS!!!!!

  • A sophisticated fast drying pure acrylic polymer
  • Increases adhesion for Ames' coatings and paints
  • Penetrates into the surface
  • Can apply with commercial airless sprayer
  • Seals water out
  • Resists cracking and peeling
  • Stays elastic - even at -35 degrees F.
  • Stops efflorescence of concrete
  • Inhibits mildew
  • Bonds surfaces together
  • Water Clean-up

Ames Research Laboratories' Super Primer is a unique, elastomeric plastic sealant, primer and adhesive for concrete, tile, rubber, wood, metal, and many hard-to-stick surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the surface to actually bind together the molecules of the surface it is being applied to. Rotting and deteriorating surfaces can be restored to a somewhat new condition and often the surface life can be extended for one or more years of usefulness. Super Primer adhesive sealant strengthens and helps preserve surfaces from mildew and moss formation, and stops concrete efflorescence. With up to 100 to 300% elasticity, Super Primer is able to move with the surface as it expands and contracts. Super Primer is highly resistant to cracking and peeling. It is easy to apply, simply roll, brush, or spray it on. Super Primer is pearlescent white in liquid form, and dries to a clear finish. Super Primer dries rapidly to a slight tack in 10 - 20 minutes at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and even faster with sun contact.
