If you had access to an airless type sprayer it would work. They are designed to spray thicker material. Great job Brock!!

[@CrazyManAI]

I used a similar product on my last house. It did exactly as you speculated. It put off replacing the entire roof for 2 years or so.

[@morenowg]

It is videos like yours that help so many people see how to not only save money and also provides invaluable tips on using the products. Thank you for your time and energy in making this video. I will be doing the same to m roofing he hopes of delaying the expense of a new roof for a couple of years.

[@maxangeles6279]

I have done the same thing, but used roof coating on my architect 80 shingles. It works well and extends from 15 year shingles to upward of 25+ years.

[@Three-leggedRanch]

As you know, the wind and hail in SE Kansas is really hard on roofs. I've seen whole neighborhoods here have most roofs replaced after a big storm. Many of them are claims against homeowners insurance. When it's time to replace yours, I encourage you to look into shingle specifically designed for our harsh weather. When we placed those heavy duty shingles on our home it actually lowered our homeowners insurance premiums.

[@marshallowens9574]

Class 4 shingles will help with your premiums!!!! Preach!! Spend the extra money on your roof.

[@terrylutke]

I'd like to read/see a follow-up regarding how well this product worked so far. Thanks!

[@little-miss-happy]

Meeee too!

[@erikrose4114]

Good job man. It’s the sun that’s the hardest on the bitumen/ granule, followed by rain.

[@LittleCabin]

A little comedic insert to an old Stanley Brothers song (How Far to Little Rock): Q: Why don't you fix your roof? A: 'Cause when it's raining I can't, and when the sun's out it don't leak!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

The concept of this product makes perfect sense to me. I would say it has to help.

[@Gilstrap2009]

You did something perfectly - you kicked my OCD into overdrive. It's been a while.

[@johngersna3263]

Good morning Brock. Sorry I haven't been around much this weekend so I'm a day late again watching your video. Years ago when my Wife and I were first starting out we owned a mobile home and I used a Henry's product to seal the roof. It came in 5 gal. buckets and you applied it with a brush like the ones that you would apply foundation coating. It worked very well so maybe that brush might work better. As far as replacing your roof, I would never use shingles again. A metal roof is the best way to go. Around our area in the mountains of North Central Pennsylvania the price is comparable to shingles and it has a lifetime warranty. Just thought I'd stick my 2 cents in. God bless and have a wonderful day. Now I'm going to watch todays video. 👍👍🙂

[@carsonwashburn1]

I have never seen that product before. Thanks for giving us your input!

[@tannaclark4195]

i think u should have tarred under any shingles that you could lift up first before coating it with Henry’s shingle sealer

[@terrygoss7229]

I seen an area that lifted when you were using the blower did you tar that section down? The coating will add some life to the granules but not solve your biggest issue of lifting singles.

[@dustdevl1043]

You need a poor boy sprayer, we use them for all sorts of stuff, even painting. Available at any parts store, dirt cheap, a siphon spray blow gun kit. Will spray cleaning fluids, soap and water, paint, anything liquid. If it puts out too much you can put a brass fitting in the bottom of the suction tube with a small diameter hole.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

With such open space, planting some trees with deep tap roots to form a wind break might be something to consider?

[@H0kieJoe]

Yep.

[@little-miss-happy]

What’s the update? Did it work? Can you tell it’s lasting longer?

[@shsshs3895]

People, under any circumstances do not use that coating product, because it is a complete waste of money, I think, unless one wants to waste that money. The video mentiones that the can says "it extends the life of the roof up to 5 years". I think this is a accurate statement. If the life of the roof is extended by 1 hours, it is still in accord with the statement that "it extends the life of the roof up to 5 years".

[@manfrummt]

I ended up using a broom after trying a rollers, scrub brushes, and cheap garden sprayers.

[@stephenremo9200]

Just a heads-up... Next time you are going to have tar visible you should see about getting granules to cover it up usually you can get something really close to roof color

[@pennyossnewcountrylife8867]

How is the coating holding up?

[@shyman9023]

I called Henry and they said you need to buy a decent sprayer and not a cheap one.

[@islandblues808jr8]

I use Thompson Water seal and it works good,I live in Hawaii and my roof out last other roofs in my area…..🤙🏽🌧️🌈

[@paulporras9356]

I just applied 50 gallons assault epoc 301 to black shingles northern cal lots of rain wind sun will it last

[@MrTeff999]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@mikemiller9119]

How does it look after a year?

[@T_Humphries]

If you get that much wind damage you might want to go with a metal roof

[@erikrose4114]

Bro, that grey area at the top of the shingle is how it’s supposed to look

[@stanr5645]

The gray area is a factory shadow!

[@louislong4134]

A paint sprayer might work to apply with

[@Savedbygrace27-g2q]

Just an idea here I'm all about being transparent and different and it's not that I'm cheap but sometimes when you don't have the money you just got to find another alternative. I am making attempt to use abrasive grit say 60 grit with a stick-on sealant and equally spreading that grit on top of the shingle pretty much renewing the shingle. Has it been done I don't think so Will it work Don't know but we're fixing to try. Then again you know what I'm just going to go and rhino line my whole roof Will it work Don't know we never know until you try it out

[@deshaunjackson8188]

@4:28 "you can't get it out of a bottle" but you can get it out of a 55 gallon oil drum full of roofing tar😂

[@strongjohn7078]

How’s the roof doing after 8 months? Thanks

[@lewerim]

I wonder if an airless paint sprayer, like for latex house paint, wouldn't work well for that product? 🤔

[@johnnyweld9672]

paint it white better for electric bills and better to hold shingles together

[@deshaunjackson8188]

Real man

[@charlesperry1051]

You need a paint sprayer. A garden sprayer is meant for very thin liquids.

[@1999JAMES.]

I think it's worth it. Now it is June 27 2024. how is it holding up?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Works great

[@eric_schaaf]

✋🏼 🤚🏼 They’re cleaning the roofs! They’re cleaning the decks!

[@88rushrocks]

Did it work?

[@dianabenobo]

A leaf blower will show the shingles a strong wind will lift ...

[@artbyrobot1]

just use fiberglass window screen on roof right over existing shingles and then apply cement mixed with latex paint (black or brown) onto the fiberglass mesh to create a cement roof and do this in just a thin layer. should last decades look beautful and retain the look of tiles since it is drying over the tiles so will have that shape due to unevenness.

[@desmetde]

Did you do this? I would love to see it

[@artbyrobot1]

@@desmetde it doesn't work in my use case because the deck and frame under the room in my case is so rotten its about to fall down. So trying to salvage mere bad roofing is not possible due to the underlying damage in my case

[@terrylutke]

My guess would be that the product could be thinned for better coverage and spray-ability. Usually water is a compatible thinner for acrylic paint blends/emulsions. For sample thinning don't add much water, a small amount of water might cause viscosity to drop quickly (it's the nature of emulsions).

[@jimsulkosky5188]

Were is your roof vents I do not see no roof vents.

[@jamesdonop445]

Do you like the results?

[@chrissilkwood5439]

just replace the ridge cap, that's where it all starts

[@lordchaa1598]

Seems to be a band aid. It may stop the bleeding temporarily, but if the problem is to deep it will just break back open down the road and cost more to fix then just doing it properly and replacing the problem area on the roof. Just my two cents, but I hope it works out.

[@Lou-eye]

$35 a pop is expensive for the little coverage it does.

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

I'll do mine after-dark, using lights, on a full-moon. methinks I the HOT shingle substrate ABSORBED too-much of the Surfactant coating. IF...I do it at all :-))) gotta figure the "application" problem better, for sure!!

[@J-Justice666]

The problem with your sprayer is that the product you're using is simply too thick for the sprayer. Those hand pump sprayers are meant for liquids that are no thicker than water. You just need a sprayer that is higher pressure with more volume at the nozzle. An Electric Paint Sprayer like Wagner makes would probably work very well.... I use mine to do decks and fences and it works great. Volume, pressure, and the spray pattern are all adjustable. Orrrrrrr..... you could thin the product down enough so it will go through the sprayer easier. Then apply more coats. Still... the power sprayer is probably your best bet. A decent one is less than 100 bucks.

[@deshaunjackson8188]

@4:55 I think I speak for all women when requesting that you wear shorter shorts. Please and thank you

[@erictang5735]

If the applicator doesn't do it 100% properly you will end up with a bigger problem and the company that does it may or may not come back

[@davidn4622]

Well do you know how old your roof is?? Its hard to tell but I don't think the Shingles were installed correctly or its quality issue. I don't think this product will extend the roof life the way you want. The seal strips underneath are failing. Maybe Sno Coat will do better it adds more weight and thicker. The best time replace a roof is before they start leaking. Start planning now replace ASAP Dont wait 5 years you will be out more money.

[@williamgaines9784]

It looked like they "stretched" the shingles by using less than the standard overlap.

[@acebrigade9586]

Nail placement & seems need to be in proper places or itll leak iver time.

[@JamesBrockson]

You lifted 2 shingles over each other, they are only 3 inches apart. Big mistake. Thats a place water gets in , shouinchesat least 8 inches

[@-mejor-que-nostradamus-6152]

I Invented How To Get From 5 Years Life On Shingles To 30 Years And It Will Be New Every Year Until Pass 20. Amén.

[@MehrdadMK-vf9pu]

Oh boy you talk a lot 👍

[@brianlau8316]

Sun, wind, and a shitty shingle ( probably GAF) More than likely, you probably just had a couple nails in the seams , I see it all the time and I fix these leaks regularly for homeowners. If you are a homeowner and you have a similar problem, please call a roofing contractor.. putting a coating like this on your roof will cost you far much more in the long run. Plus, it looks like dog poo poo .

[@johnbutler1279]

I knew I wanted to watch this and not do it when he leaned an aframe against the house.

[@jrpowers667]

One way to ruin the look of your roof. Best of luck.

[@prawnstar9213]

Don’t do this!

[@anthonyscott9936]

Not suppose to use a a frame ladder that way.. gonna get cha self hurt.. use an extension..

[@fableslayer]

a cheap can of tan spray paint over your black patched areas first would be a good idea!
