[RE-wrenches] TPO Roofing

[Jason Szumlanski]

August,

While compatible, I mentioned in another recent thread that Geocel 4500
lacks testing to ASTM standards. If you have an AHJ that cares about that
kind of stuff, you might want to pass it by them first. Geocel 2300 and
3300 do meet ASTM standards per the manufacturer.
