That used to be common around here, till Snow Seal became readily

Here in the high desert..summer temps of 110-120 are not unusual, so I
get concerned about putting Stuff on top of metal and letting the full
effect of the sun take its toll.



Snow Seal is made for that job. It is white, and reflect a lot of
heat. It holds up well here in Florida, where other roof compounds die
in a year or two. The 'Snow' part refers to the bright white color, not
for where it was made to be used.

Here are the specifictions form the OEM:

I remember that stuff being all over the place down there - 30 years ago.
