Siga Wigluv 60 Without Primer?

| Posted in General Questions on
Our Siga Wigluv 60 made it here in time before our project starts, but the primer sadly won’t be here in time due to some delays. We are using Wigluv for our existing exterior OSB seams, and it will be installed in colder weather (lows around 25 F). We’re using Fentrim for the foundation conection and at the wall corners. We obviously want the air seal to last (it’s our forever home). Are we screwed without the primer for the Wigluv? Do we need to try to pivot?

Bumping this. We had them use the Wigluv 60 on the OSB seams, and it doesn't seem like it's sticking very well. We used Fentrim on the foundation seam and on all of the corners, and that is definitely effective. They moved super fast on everything today and wrapped the house in Tyvek Commercial before I could get on site to try to slow everything down. If the Siga Wigluv 60 fails on the seams for some reason, how big of a concern is it to have the corners, foundation, and top plate sealed but not the OSB seams? I don't want to have to have them remove everything and start over if we can help it. Does the tape bond get stronger with time?
