Roofing Question [RE-wrenches]

[Bruce Leininger]

Hi.  I'm wondering how other installers are sealing penetrations in flat
roofing systems like modified bitumen and tar & gravel.  I've heard of
everything from "just seal it with Sikaflex" to, you have to seal it the
way the roof was initially installed:  e.g. torch down and cold-applied
adhesive for the modified bitumen and hot tar for the tar & gravel.

Anybody have any stories about what happens when you try to go the "just
sikaflex it" route instead of using the original roofing method?  Has
anybody made penetrations in either type of roofing system that has been
leak-free for 20+ years?

Thanks.

Bruce
