    I think I'd put the coating up on the trim a bit, then Eternabond over the top of =that=. :B

    Sorry i mispeled roof. Weak spots, meaning there is some rot on roof top along top by outer edge. Not going to invest money in removing roof, just trying to get another 5 years. Hung coating seems like the best deal.
    That's a relief - because if you "foof" has weak spots, then your in big trouble...

    Heng's Rubber Roof Coating Works for me. Easy to apply, no primer needed.
    Clean your roof well before applying.
    I used 2 1/2 gallons to coat 30' of roof.



    Have you had any long term results with this product to report . I am interested as to the longevity of this brand .

    Rot in the Rubber Roof??? Or supporting wood structure???

    Ditto on the Hengs. Went on easy and left a thick white coat.
  • What do you mean by "weak spots"?

    If there is a leak causing the underlying plywood to rot, slapping a coating on top, is unlikely to fix it.
