Is roof preparation necessary before applying SILVERLEAF?
Roof preparation is essential for a good roof job of any kind. It’s important to put the proper foundation under the fine roof sealants you are using. Using Super Roof Cement, Neoprene 66 Rubberized Cement, Fabron and Seal-Tex Bonding Adhesive will turn the weakest, most vulnerable points of the roof into its strongest points. Such reinforcement is necessary to assure maximum protection. What about Roof Primers?Many of our competitors recommend Roof Primer coats. However, through the use of built-in primers, specially blended oils, including Pinecel and X-5, we have achieved the same penetration into a dry roof mat with our coatings that competitive companies try to obtain with a 2-Coat System (Primer and Coating). This process has a track record backed by the manufacturer’s 40+ years of leadership in the cold process roof sealant field. Our ONE COAT System gives you the waterproofing you need at substantial savings by cutting labor costs in half. Is it better to apply SILVERLEAF by br
