Wish we could stand on the floor doing a roof
Hi Stuart, Sorry about that but we would have been in the way of the camera if we were on the roof. It's actually easier to do from in front of the detail if you are not filming. Hopefully you would have scaffolding to help anyway. 😀
Hi, when adding fascia/trim detail to cover the area below the coping and above the roof, would it be a terrible idea to screw into the EPRM on the inside edge in order to secure the fascia? E.g., would that cause a rip in the EPDM down the road? I'd rather use butyl caulk, but I don't think it will hold-up long term. I would of course tuck it under the coping and use self sealing screws. And, is screwing through this type of flashing tape at the edge even worse or no different? Thanks much.
Having call backs on ply techs corner tape, their primer is too thin, the tape isn't flexible enough and doesn't bond properly. Never had this problem with firestone corner tape and primer but stockist switched to ply tech, guessing cos it's cheaper. It's annoying cos it's costing me money and makes my work look bad
Hi Dave, Sorry to hear that you have been having issues with the tape / primer combo. We have not had any other reports of this and our tape works very well in most other scenarios. Could I ask where you bought the tape / primer as there is a shelf life on these products (after 12 months the tapes can become harder to stretch as they cure over time). If we know where this was purchased we can make sure that the stockist has products that are in date. Kind Regards Marc
That music is unbearable
