Hey Scott, I was a firefighter for 32 years and one thing we stressed, taught is to never walk backwards on a roof. Bad things happen, granted most of my times were in smoky conditions. Just a recommendation. Love the channel.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

From my (albeit limited) understanding, walking backwards on a roof is perfectly safe, it's walking backwards OFF a roof that's the issue.

[@rjt135]

That perfectly shaped roller is oddly satisfying

[@brucelee3388]

A bit late now, but the old (30-40 years ago) instructions for 'rust converters' had the user wire brush or scrape the rust to remove any loose rust before brushing on the converter, which was basically Phosphoric Acid, same as used to put a corrosion resistant matt finish on military equipment (and in cola soft drinks and food production as well as dentistry).

[@adamjoyce1521]

That's still worth doing. I often use a round wire brush in the drill.

[@robertbamford8266]

As I recall, the bottle label included “properly prepared” (no liability here).

[@darrend7352]

Yep, ideal to remove most of the rust it has converted the "top layer" of rust, i.e. the top surface rust has been neutralized but there is still rust underneath and so removal with wire brush works best to get rid of most of it before hand....maybe on the second half of the roof!

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Scotch-Brite pad would work perfect for surface rust. In Australia we have a product called ranex that sounds like what “Bruce Lee” was talking about. Seems to work much quicker than this product too

[@michaelrice500]

Yup; you'll find it on most steel boats with various names, but it's mainly a solution of phosphoric acid. Works great, tastes terrible.

[@fatjack01]

[@Gurezaemon]

They look cool, but they tend to load up with the paint to the point that they won't roll any more, so you end up with a huge sponge of paint on the end of the pole, smearing it around on the roof swearing at it.

[@richardbaron7106]

From recent experience, they don't work so well with solvent-based paint and in my case, the sponge came free from the cardboard sleeve and promptly fell off the roof. Left an interesting pattern on the path below.

[@frameriteairdrie578]

We used one on our house in 1981, but it wasn't as good as it looked. We mostly used brooms and a brush.

[@coreywells9498]

Hate to be one of those no no nancy’s but was skeptical about rust converter on galvanized metal. Major manufacturer in north america advises against. “ It will not work on aluminum, copper, stainless steel or galvanized metal. “ Maybe yours is a different compound. Maybe the top primer will also protect roof enough or maybe just maybe by the time the converter proves to fail by bubbling up from underneath you will have 50 gajillion subscribers and a syndicated tv show. Just being a jerk. Love your show.

Had corrugated mietal roofs in Hawaii for years, and even the old ones never leaked or needed underlayment. Yet when we built "real" houses, new houses in the 70's we sheathed the roofs for shear, so we needed underlayment then. You lose the sound of the rain. OK some people must have had leaks. I just mean we just put our roofs on and no one thought about underlayment for a roof on purlins. This rust converter is something new to me. We found the quality of the steel to begin with was most important and used zinc oxide paints if we used any. At the end--- NZ is so beautiful! We loved hiking there.

Scott, you could continue to lay your membrane in a vertical fashion. Just fold the edge of the underlying felt over by about 100mm. Then if any water does track under it will hit the fold and track down towards the gutter (if there is one). It’s a method we use on underfelt when we repair sections if there’s a rip in it for example but there’s no reason you can’t do it on large sections like yours.

[@craigedgar2828]

Nice! Simple and effective - one of those "of course" solutions

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Scott and Jess from Sydney Australia. I don't wash my paint roller trays out. Simply use all paint and let dry. After continual use: say (ten) times place flat screwdriver under one corner and peel paint skin out, leaving a clean tray. Disposal in trash can. 🌏🇦🇺

[@dasmade7388]

Works on basic chemistry, the phosphorus replaces the iron in the rust creating phosphorus oxide which is stable and does not continue to react with the iron in the roofing sheet

[@Thomas-wn7cl]

With the way building material is priced now, actually saving and restoring material is becoming more feasible. Well done.

[@TheDuddleyCo]

Nice job. Reminds me of when I did my parents roof a few years back. I would have used an airless to paint the roof. Once you paint a roof with an airless you'll never want to paint with a brush and roller ever again.

[@josephgriffiths7656]

I use the CRC rust converter, it works exceptionally well for what it is. Was pleasantly surprised. Though it's recommend not taking the metal back to bright clean metal, as it does need the iron oxide to convert. It's a great product for extending the life of things with very little effort. Depending on rust level, it will need multiple coats. Once it goes nice and black you've applied enough, if you still see rust it needs more. be-careful not to over-apply as that can have a negative effect. The best results I've found is one coat, let it dry and set, wipe off excess (those white/purpleish streaks), repeat until all rust is converted to the strong hard black primer. You shouldn't need to apply a primer on-top of this product. In reality I hardly ever do it in the best prescribed way, I just keep coating until it's all converted then slap zinc paint on-top and I've not had an issue yet. I use this stuff in a high humidity environment and it's a life saver for restoring rusted iron/steel. That cap will never come off easily again btw...

[@rawiriblundell]

Hey Scott and Jess! Suggestion: Consider painting the roof titanium white or a colour that either has a high LRV rating or a manufacturer specific cooling additive. Resene call theirs "cool colours", Dulux call theirs "Keep Cool technology", but at the end of the day it's the LRV rating that you're interested in. With a metal roof, especially, the choice of one of these cooler colours and/or higher LRV ratings means less expansion and contraction of the material - meaning you lengthen the service life of the material. As it's reflecting more of the sun's energy rather than absorbing it (leave that job for solar panels if that's your thing), it's also reducing the temperature inside your house when the sun is at its highest i.e. a passively cooler environment in summer, meaning less energy spent on active cooling. In Winter, the sun is lower in the sky and you should be getting more of its energy through your windows - obviously dependent on the building's orientation - so reflecting any of its energy away isn't as much of a problem either. In my house, after we upgraded the insulation, it was an absolute furnace the following Summer, I hate to think what it would have been like with the incoming R6.6 standard! Shortlyl after that, we had our roof rescrewed, prep'd and painted titanium white. The following Summer, the aircon didn't go on at all - the white roof did its job brilliantly.

Hi Scott. Love your videos. In south Africa we typically use Deoxidine to remove the rust. Works really great. Then I paint primer and topcoat with an airless sprayer cause I do larger roofs like on factories.

[@moltopericoloso]

Just chipping in with additional info for anyone else reading - don't use this on anything galvanised - which the majority of corrugated iron roofs in NZ and Australia are. The phosphoric acid will eat through the zinc right before your eyes. It's a good rust convertor on anything else though. I've used it several times as we get it here in Oz too. Another thing worth mentioning, this product is it's not a rust inhibitor, it's a convertor, so any metal treated needs to be neutralised or painted soon after applying - the recommended time is within 4 hrs. Enhanced rusting will occur very quickly otherwise and any treated metal can be completely rusted over again if left even overnight. @Gerrit Geldenhuys, I guess you're already doing this if you're in the roof painting game :-)

[@gerritgeldenhuys2763]

Should put a few full length acrylic panels in the roof bro, get some sunlight in. Another tip with the steel is to fold up the last 20mm of the valleys under the ridge capping before you put the ridge on. This will prevent wind driven water blowing uphill and in under the ridge cap. Nowadays too you can get a shape matched foam filler strip that plugs the valleys and does the same job blocking water.

[@tonyjover]

I've used a similar product to that rust converter/primer here in the UK, called Vactan. It's amazing stuff. I painted some on some rusty girders years ago, never bothered topcoating it, and it still looks like the day I did it - no more rust.
