Roof seal
I'm looking at Kwik Seal for a flat roof. I'm wondering if anyone has
experience with this product. How is it after it dries? Can you walk on it? Are there any shrinkage issues I need to be concerned about? Should this be put on in a single coat or multiple layers? Drying time between layers? Am in south florida so really want a white color product to help with summer heat reflection. TIA! |

On a similar topic, I have a dormer with a nearly flat roof (roll
roofing) that is fairly old, can I paint it with this Kwik Seal stuff ? The roof is black, it'd be good if it were white, and this might be a cheap way to extend the life. |

I was mistaken, the product I'm looking at is called "Cool Seal" and it
comes from Lowes. wrote in message oups.com... On a similar topic, I have a dormer with a nearly flat roof (roll roofing) that is fairly old, can I paint it with this Kwik Seal stuff ? The roof is black, it'd be good if it were white, and this might be a cheap way to extend the life. |

It's a latex-type? If so, it won't do much for active leaks, as ponding
really deteriorates it quickly. So you tar/ fabric/tar any cracks. We use it on our rentals here, and it's not bad to work with. Read the can, and try not to walk much on your roof.
