    摘要: A method of installing a roofing membrane includes providing a membrane including a polymeric body having first and second opposed planar surfaces and a lap edge, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the first planar surface, and a release member removably affixed to the adhesive layer. Then, cutting the release liner while simultaneously scoring the adhesive layer along a line substantially parallel to the lap edge by use of a cutting and scoring tool and said step of cutting and scoring includes contacting the tool to the release liner. Finally, removing the release liner to expose the adhesive layer in the lap area; then applying a high-tensile member to the exposed adhesive layer in the lap area and forcibly removing the high-tensile member to thereby remove the adhesive layer within the lap area; and seaming the membrane composite to an adjacent membrane.
