If an aluminum surface coating must be applied sooner to a new built-up roof, an emulsion (water base) coating should be used instead of an asphalt flood coat. An emulsion coating, such as Karnak’s #220AF Emulsion Coating, will provide a firm base on which to apply the Karnak aluminum coating 5 to 10 days after the emulsion has cured.
