[RE-wrenches] Dr Pepper on Metal Roofs

[MiJo Nels]

we switched to "clear" soda as the cola's and colored variety were sometimes leaving trace evidence behind on (un coated) galv roofing.. it is still critical you anchor up so the crew has something to hold onto.. Be safe out there humans!! 👍

We use Dr. Pepper,  a few drops of dawn dish soap, apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to keep flies and bugs from entering the electronics. Fly tape is good also.

The only thing we put on a metal roof is rain :)

Yep, confirmed. Our crews are fans of Mt Dew for this purpose...and for the post lunch slump ;).

Dr. Pepper!  They must be an ultra-high margin contractor!



I think Korker's boots with metal roof pads are pretty good.  Cougarpaws keeps trying to come out with metal roof boots but none that I have used are perfect just yet.  Cheap orange or grape soda sure has lots of sugar and will help adhere you to a roof.  Good soda would probably disappear out of inventory quickly....

Dear Esteemed Solar Enthusiasts,



Believe it or NOT, I just talked to a homeowner who says he witness a solar contractor spraying Dr. Pepper on his 8:12 pitched metal roof to stop from slipping.



Now I'm wondering...
