General Notes:
1. The recommendations in this Product Selection Guide are of general nature only. Refer to the Product Data Sheets or properties chart to
be certain that the selected Foster® product meets all the requirements of your particular application.
2. Do not apply exterior weather barrier coating on horizontal surfaces that might be subject to prolonged ponding of water.
3. If insulation cement is used, it must be completely dry before applying Foster® mastics or coatings. Prime as required.
4. Because of the variation in surface characteristics of facing materials, we recommend that the user conduct their own adhesion
tests when choosing a coating or mastic for foil, kraft and plastic faced insulations.
5. The Foster® products listed in this Product Selection Guide are for professional use only.
