Covering Roof
Hi
Have finally got around to putting calico on the roof this morning. What have others used to waterproof the roof afterwards?
Somebody suggested floor paint to me a while ago.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Simon

I used a resin gel coat on Crystal as a full roofer.

Re: Covering Roof
Thanks for the replies.
I ended up using Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin paint which has given a lovely black finish.
It dries really quickly, is great to apply and I put on 4 coats using less than half a litre.
Would highly recommend this paint and its less than £20 for a litre from Screwfix.

Re: Covering Roof
I used floor paint as it is very hard wearing and chemical resistant, ideal when your covering yourself (and roof) in soot, oil, dirty water when you prime and hot cinders.

I went to Brewers paints and got high performance off white gloss, I will try and look up the name, which just sheds water and wipes clean to soot and oil with no effort. I did several rallies including Dorset without having to re-coat it.
