- We used reclaimed tin on the barn roof. Now it's time to restore, seal and coat it so that it will last a while!

It’s good to see a novice doing this, because most people who watch these videos aren’t professionals.
But, as a professional painter who has the same identical, rusty, tin-roof, I’ll definitely be using a full-size 9-in, thick- nap roller, (at least 1-in nap) on a long extension pole, (like the one on your push broom, instead of a brush!
A thick nap roller will use much more product, but you’ll be able to get into the cracks & crevices, & be able to finish in less than half the time!
Great video though, thanks!
Lol! I just don’t like paying people for something I feel like I can figure out. Been in the construction trade my whole like. I did end up using the manufacturers suggested applicator. Was a brush. Worked pretty good. I still ended up with a wide paint brush because some of the seams in the metal were great. I guess that’s what I get for using reclaimed metal. Turned out pretty good though. Thanks for watching!!
Man, I feel you on that!
I was blessed to come from a family of brick-masons myself! (My father, grandfather, uncles, cousins, etc!)
I was blessed to learn that, along with basic construction skills from my dad.
However, I found painting to be just as lucrative, & not quite as much back-breaking work, so I made that a career, among other things!
Great tip thanks
I'm building a shed and got a bunch of used chicken house metal, the good heavy stuff from commercial chicken houses. It's an off white with a little rust. I want to paint it a brighter white for heat and to cover what little rust is there. Would you paint before installing it on the roof or after. I'm doing a gambrel roof and the back side is not very accessible.
Iron oxide is the rust and once you convert the rust it becomes Iron dioxide which is rust resistant peace ✌🏻
Looks like it’s coming along, can’t wait to see it finished. Take care and hope you both have a blessed week.
You too Tony! Building this thing in my spare time has been a long road. I’d really like to be finished by early spring before the rest of the farm wakes up.
Awesome vid. btw you look just like Ricky Gervais haha
Someone else said that a while back. We’ve never found a picture of him that even comes close to my handsome good looks!!🤣
Wow, big roof. Thank you for all these tips. Learning lots of info. ✌️👍
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you! This video helped a lot. Going to start on my roof tomorrow. Nice work 👍
Be careful with that Henry’s!! I ended up sick after doing the whole first side. I should have worn a mask. I had metal fume inhalation fever.
Some good materials. Henrys makes good products. Rustx looks like it works well. The old metal is a thicker gauge by far. Thanks
Can't wait to see the finish. I plan on doing my barn this summer. Hope you post more before I get started on mine.
I’ve got one side complete! That roof has put a whopping on me! That stuff from Henry’s is no joke. Where some type of mask while using it. It made me sick for two day. Metal fume inhalation. I’ll do a video when it complete. Thanks for watching!
I have an old (like 200yrs) barn to repaint my roof of. I too plan to use the rust converter... seems Very wise to me. My roof is over 100yrs old standing seam. Solid stuff. This video might have been a bit better showing the finished result. Maybe link to a new short vid?
I will likely use large brush (like for driveways) to apply it. Only (very very) minor comment i can make would be to have scraped the stuff of the can lid and mix it in... looked like a good cup's worth, and every drop counts. You certainly scored and know exactly what you are doing repurposing that tin roof. Congrats 👏
Thanks for the information , good job !!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hey Jamie, great video. You can apply the rust killer with a cheap garden sprayer. Way faster, you will be done in no time.. Good luck.
Yes!!! I’ve never used one like this but I do plan to spray the rest of the roof.
Thanks,
Chris
Have a 43 year old galvanized roof on my home that I installed. It started showing some rust about 25 years ago. I used a silver paint without the fiber which I think will cover more area and give superior results. I doubt if that five gallon can of Henry’s will come close to doing your whole roof plus if you are in snow country the snow will cling on to the fibered surface and not slide off. I do use Henry’s around vent pipes and chimneys to help seal them from water intrusion
I probably looked at the one your talking about. This just seemed like it would help seal up some holes and last a few years. Maybe. Thanks for watching!
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759 yes the Henry’s will probably be better on used roofing that will have unused nail holes to seal up
What was the product you used? We have the same problem with a rusty metal roof
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759best video I found for my project. Hope you find my two cents on your heart attack video. Cheers.
Looks good
Thank you! Spare time build is taking forever it seems.
Would you make any changes to the choice of materials to cover the roof now that time has passed? Thanks enjoyed the video
It is a slow process, but will be well worth it when complete. Be safe🙂
We think so! Thanks for watching!
Did you finish the roof, is there a video of it? How has it held up since doing it? I'll be doing a patio roof that is about the same this summer.
That pond in the back looks awesome. Really nice property. My biggest concern about this job is walking on it . Hopefully i dont fall through lol
Yes!! Be careful I used some of the best used metal. We went through it pretty good. Took a while but paid off.
Its good video
Looks great 😃. Did you think of prepping the roof panels before you installed them 🤔. Thank you for sharing your video. God bless 🙏
I have a roof to do I wonder if the rust encapsulation product will spray through a garden sprayer is it that thin ? I also have two airless paint sprayers
Yes it will. That’s how I did the second side. I still brushed on the Henry’s.
Can you apply the products on the old tin before you put it up ?
Just curious, but why didn't you do this before installing the roof?
If you use the rust converter again try putting it in a pump sprayer won’t take near as long
Yes! That worked really well. A little wasteful on a roof with that much pitch but was WAY faster. Thanks for watching!
where is the roof ridge?
At the time of the video it was still at the store.
Vinegar and water half and half would stop the rust.
It probably wouldn’t leak if you had a ridge cap
Lol! Good catch. Since you didn’t watch I’ll tell you. I was coating the roof before I put a new ridge cap on.
Rust is iron oxide so it turns red iron oxide into black iron oxide.
Sir, those washers on those screws, chemically react with the petroleum solvent coating your thinking is doing them good. Not trying to belittle you sir, but you really should do your research first. Also, you should have pressure washed the entire roof first!
That's terrible I guess I will have to coat it again in 10 years. Good catch.
1:57 rust IS iron oxide
Usually these products use a phosphoric acid or tannic acid chemical reaction to encapsulate and stabilize the oxidization (rust). Some contain some form of cross linking polymer (paint, essentially) that is a good base for primer and some paints.
I would sandblast the roof, blow it off with an air hose, buy some liquid sealer and spray it on with a spray gun. Wham bam I'm done,and sitting in my lawn chair drinking beer while this guy will be up there for a month😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I don’t have a sand blaster or a spray setup to spray sealer on. So I took 2 days and saved myself some money and got it done.
Lotta talk and little action. Please don't treat a roof with a brush or roller, A garden sprayer with be 100 times faster. Even a mop works great also, just buy several gallons of product and return what you didn't need. Coating can be applied with a 1 inch nap roller so much faster. Maybe you could do a few more before ya try and teach someone.
Thanks for the positive review. I did use the manufacturer’s recommended brush to apply to the largest sections. Which I still had to come back with a BRUSH to get in the cracks and under the seems. The fit on the reclaimed tin I used was terrible. Which caused the tin to not lay down very well. I used the brush to coat under those edges. I did what I needed to do to coat and seal it the way I wanted it. Wouldn’t have mattered if I used a toothbrush. It’s done and I didn’t pay anyone to do it. Thanks for watching
I happened to learn a lot from this video, even if there are easier ways of doing things. Appreciate the suggestions, but there's a way of sharing the information without being so damn righteous and condescending. Peace!
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759 good job. the faster methods dont always produce the more desirable results. I enjoyed the vid.
@@charliewish4459 thank you!
