I had to repo a metal/metal '79 SW lonnie deal, there a couple spot leaks in the roof. Last coating was white elastomeric roll-on, and it needs a coat. BUT: Washington winter weather not conducive to this, as it's water based, and requires evaporation to cure. Best I can hope for is maybe 50 degrees & dry for a couple of days. I can't wait til summer to resell this, and I'm not paying for a new roof. I'm considering liberal spot-daubing of Henry's (208?) to temporarily seal the leaks, then (possibly) sell with a guarantee of a new roofcoat when weather permits.

Any other suggestions?

I have used this stuff in somewhat damp conditions and it rained pretty soon after it was applied. We dried the roof area with a leaf blower and it actually sprinkling a little when applying. It stopped the leak and looked like it was a long lasting repair when I saw it the next week. I did use some mesh tape for this particular emergency repair.

I bit the bullet last year, shelled out $3500 and had a metal roof with a lifetime guarantee installed on my 54' x 14' by a company called Snow King. So far I believe that it was money well spent
