Hey Paul, this is a great question! Yes you do want the glue to set and get tacky before installing the membrane of the LaSalle Bristol RV Roof Replacement Kit w/ XTRM Membrane # 344270KIT40. Are you thinking about tackling the roof install yourself?

1 big mistake we made in preparation for our PVC RV roof install. A family member recommended that we completely unfurl the PVC roof material to take the rolled up memory out of it. When unrolled on a very large tarp on the ground, we saw that there was no memory. What we did learn was that static electricity in the material picked up grains of sand particles, like a magnet. Unfortunately we didn't get 100% of the sand off, maybe 99%. The 1% that we missed,, certainly showed up under the material as it was glued down. So we are 99% happy with the job, and that number is a passing grade for us.
