If the metal roof panels are unsightly and leaking, the fully reinforced application is recommended. Of course, the crew applies a strong primer, in this case a red tinted version. And, of course, the crew will apply top coats of the owner's tint preference of an acrylic. But the core of a fully reinforced is the foundation step--mesh between two applications of a coating material.
For this type of repair on a low slope roof, two men work best (If the roof is extremely slanted, then position three crew members). A novice mistake: A newcomer sometimes omit the base coating step, thereby preventing the mesh from bonding to the roof.
Crew makes the repair look so easy
The steps look easy, but the phrase "Practice makes perfect" applies here. When each crew member knows his responsibilities in the execution, the work flows smoothly.
Know your immediate work area. Keep the bucket of material within easy reach. Coat the immediate work area. Stretch out the width of material. Allow fabric to float to the panel surface. Cut your end with easy-to-reach scissors. Smooth out the mesh with a roof brush. Snip with scissors then smooth with hands as needed. All these steps seem easy, but an inexperienced crew may leave a wrinkled, sloppy result.
