[RE-wrenches] Flashings vs Sealants

[William Dorsett]

I'm like Tom and Ray, it is hard to avoid shingle damage on all the
connections involved with flashing on asphalt shingles, and while I've tried
QuickMount flashings, I'm confident that L-legs with (and I use
polyurethane, and am not stingy with it.) sealant are quite adequate.
Especially with roofs with good slope, I'm going back to what I've done for
a very long time with zero problems.

I am only going to refer to primarily to asphalt shingles . PLEASE read the
label on the sealant you are using . Our company has used flexible polymer
rubber - based sealants rated for -40 F to 200 F that have good UV
resistance by Ruscoe www.ruscoe.com that make these rubber based sealants in
many colors . They are a high viscosity 1/10 gallon tubes like the BPS-HVAC
1/10 that are a permanent sealant on metal roofs and NEVER completely harden
. They are compatible with asphalt shingles . Read the label on your sealant
, polyurethane tripolymer sealants while excellent sealants ARE NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH ASPHALT SHINGLES . Rusoe will sell direct ( 800 - 293- 8148
) . We have thousands of attachments to asphalt shingles each year WITHOUT
any flashings and never get a leak with Ruscoe and offer all our customers
an insurance guarantee against damage to the roof and contents of the home .
We have been installing since 1977 at our company . Ruscoe has a unique
product that is inexpe  nsive when you buy 12 cases or more especially of 12
tubes that will be delivered by a freight line . Gator Tom
