Another question about roof sealant products

darsunt

Another post mentioned silicone and urethane sealing products for the roof. Personally I use silicone for most things, but I was pointed towards roofing cement, a Henry's 208R product. But that stuff looked dense and heavy to work with, so I used Henry's 209 elastomastic, a rubberized asphaltic sealing compound, since it came in a tube and was easier to handle.

In the future, what product do you guys think would be best? I have a couple of old roofs, some flat, some petroleum based tile.

COunterflashing is easier to seal with a tube. I can't think of any other place on a roof to use sealants.

Hey God. Are you talking about the hidden, 45'd lap seams? Haven't used that roof material yet.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking about the cover material. On my last job, I/m trying to see how well the PolyGlass really seals. After I installed the last piece of metal hooking into the B.I.G., I installed the roof and just sealed to it, and overhung into and sealed ( Hopefully), to the B.I.G.

I hate sealing flush to the gravel, or any other stop, so I overhand an inch or 3, heat the material to soften it, and get it to hang over. it then 'sets' in that position pretty good.
I've been doing it that way for about 7 years. I go to the jobs every year to see how they're doing. No leaks, no uplifts, and if the seal did break, nobody knows because it's leak-proof.
These are all APP and SBS. I install the edging, the metal, then the roof, no cover with a waterbucking lap.

You're right, and I oversimplified. I think we're on the same page though.

Been a long weekend and I might fall asleep as I type this. Went to the reosrt and stayed up late again.
