Bruce:
We hired a roofing contractor to seal our first penetrations on a gravel
built-up roof. We paid close attention to the procedure and stole it, fair
and square. It is a bit more involved than what I've heard others
describe, but I believe it is bullet proof. The system is described best
by a PDF flyer on our web
site: http://mpandc.com/practices/Procedures/procedures.html Click on:
Flat Roof Installation Techniques. Let me know if you have any questions
that the PDF does not answer.
