  1. There is a reason why things are done differently over time, you see the results over time and you adjust. So tied of "Old School" guys running around thinking everything was better when they learned it years ago and everything new is worse. Feels like the only reason is because they don't like to change.

  2. Damn. Gasoline. Ain't heard of anyone doing that since the 90s. 100% Gas is way better. 1/5th the price. Primer is $24 a gallon, EPDM about $4 a foot for the Peel-&-Stick or QA, or whatever brand name you prefer.
    It's to neoprene its ethylene.
    So 5 problems.
    1. You used an insulation plate instead of a seam plate. It won't catch the rubber and will cause tears.
    2. You should have 2-3" of adhesive on all sides of the plate.
    3. Which you acknowledged, roller.
    4. No T-Splice Joints?
    5. You didnt smooth in your lap seal.

    Beyond that this is actually mostly correct. Gasoline and splice cement (black glue) is a very old and outdated method, but I won't lie I miss that sweet scent of black licorice when you first open a can of black glue.

  3. I'm a 30 year roofer. Good stuff. Honest and not full of shit. I got a question. Can I pour lap cement on top of the rubber to protect it a little more after doing the patch? I aint got enough of the special caulking.

  4. that type of patching material has an adhesive side under the paper, your putting the patch upside down and using double the amount of glue needed. lol

    edit: hes not saving you $2000 also after viewing the whole video i can see he's using splice to glue the rubber patches together so he would have to glue both sides. that type of patching material is a peel and stick but you're suppose to use quick prime, im not sure if the adhesive of that rubber flashing would stick to splice. if his patches held he might of saved you $200, patches of that size we charge up to $25 per patch. theres nothing wrong with what he did, i would caulk the edges of those patches if that hasn't been done yet to extend their lifetime.

  5. Greetings from New Zealand. I enjoyed my days roofing in London. Good to see good guy roofer reputation exists in the USA. 😉 I bet after work beers are a laugh
