Thanks Fred for the well wishes.
I made sure my roof coating was capable of not dissolving with a standing puddle. There is a term they use for that, but I can't remember what it is now. There are two spots on the 5'ver where this happens ever morning with the dew. Doesn't go away until early afternoon when the sun is at full force.
I have the same issues as you when it comes to adhesion and cure time even with my roof "paint." For me the long cure time is mostly due to being in a high humidity environment (salt air.) If I twist my heel on the roof the "paint" can peel away from the rubber in spots.
I'm coming to the conclusion there really isn't a good rubber roof patch job other then replace with new. I'll just accept the fact that I will keep applying the "paint" every couple of years. Found a place where I can buy it for $25/gallon and it takes 1.5 gallons.
