Excellent work, I congratulate you, friend. I am Venezuelan. I have 25 years of experience. I am at your service. If there is a lot of demand for work, take care of yourself and be active in your work, which gives you an excellent plus.
Great job! I’m getting my roof done soon and looking at your work as an example of what I want to see. Did you heat and embed the lengthwise lap joint (Paint it Black 😂) like you did the end lap for better adhesion? Thanks
i saw the iko hoodie but is that soprema or Iko cap? i've never tried the sponge, i gotta try it though it seems like a good idea. I see lots of guys just use the puller but i sometimes use a rubber roller to push out bleeds and it seems to work pretty good too. great job though looks pretty good.
Without a shadow of a doubt this is the finest video of its kind. Uniform speed and precision and thorough dedication to the bonding. Love the tool. Not seen one in the U.K.
Thank you very much for the kind words! The tool is literally a 2x4 with a handle! Very easy to make on the go... just make sure you keep it wet... we keep ours in a plastic bucket with a bit of water so it doesn't stick when you press to your warm cap. Happy roofing! 🤘🏼😎

Nice job! This is one of the best videos on the application of APP membranes. The video gives complete details right from the cleaning of site, application of Primer, Fixing of APP sheets with hot torch method & finishing with siliver paint.
never heard of rounding corners on sbs... on epdm forsure 100% but on torch-on sbs we just cut the corner on a 45 degree angle on the "meat" of your lap. Manufacturers specification 🤙🏼
i bet it's stuck but are you sure you are applying enough heat throughout the enire roll and not just the lap? seems a little quick. try preheating the lap a few feet behind you as well it may give a slightly more pronounced bleed out.
Roller does the trick too, I just don't like the roller marks or indentations it can make... The wood block allows you to press like a mfer and still have a nice even look to the lap
hey dude you are the best torch mechanic ive seen in these video. my name calvin. i use to be a roof mechanic good job. and you got all your tools. and dont walk on sheet that the i was taught good job.
Why not walk on the sheet when you torch it ? Im just asking, because i have done that for 15 years and have nothing bad to say about walking on the sheet. If you think about the shoe marks, that mean you just over heat it. The way you are doing youre job is up to the roofer. :)
This is 2-ply SBS torch on application. Never heard of roll bars? We pull backwards with our pull cane as we evenly torch weld the base membrane and the cap sheet membrane together. I know application specs can vary country to country so for reference I am in Canada. We follow all manufacturers installation specifications. Also don't know what the white mineral is... I'm assuming the color of the cap sheet? They come in all different colors, the most typical being Grey, as seen here, black or light black. Thanks for your comment!
I wouldn't say that's necessary. As long as you have a roofer involved in the installation you should be fine. I've seen many different installation methods out there and they aren't all fantastic... buyer beware!
@@superbad0415 well this system is a 2ply sbs membrane. Consists of the black layer (base) either mechanically fastened or fully torched to approved substrate followed by a cap membrane which is the same as the base just with granules attached to the top sheet. I wouldn't recommend having gravel on the roof if that can be avoided
need to do my roof, drain blocked, flooded and it sagged now in centre big time, can i just sit on some osb board where its sagging and refelt it, with a mitre on edge of board, or is say multiple layers of felt better.
@@thetrahanman I did then uncalled them after the ridiculous quote,, I’m a joiner and roofer so the sag I can sort if I really have to, it’s about 15-20mm deep water sitting, I don’t really wanna rip it off and open a can of worms if I can just stop the majority of water pooling in centre for now, cheaply.
OK, OK I see I thought u were playing... I mean any filler would work, plywood, osb, even ridgid insulation... then roof that in to keep water out of that area... yup sounds like a plan to me
technically speaking the surface should be relatively smooth. Realistically, if you prime the concrete before and your seams are sealed, should be ok. It can be more difficult to ensure a good seal if it's too bumpy and lumpy
It's maxed out... I'd have to check to see what it says but it's maxed out... just a cold day, tanks weren't giving me much pressure.... I'll do another one in the summer and yall will be amazed at the difference
@@thetrahanman ya I mess around with mine sometimes depending if I'm using a full tank (60 or 100 pounder) or not. I'm in Ontario but you and I are alike. I produce the nicest torch work at the company I work for and do everything by the soprema courses I've gone to (for warrantied jobs). Nice to see other people that actually take pride in doing their job correctly but also nearly as well. Props to you brother!
quick question about your preference for under torching instead of over torching and walking on the cap sheet?... i'm trying to decide for myself which way to do it
it's just how I was taught from the beginning... not sure where you are from but everyone I have ever known roofing walks backwards when torching field. Definately not as safe as walking on your cap but if you are aware of your surroundings and you have a safety railing installed, walking on base is definately better in my opinion. Sometimes I will see guys walk on the cap sheet when they have nowhere else to go, like end of a roll in a corner and when it's hot and you are fully torching your stuff properly you will almost always muck up your cap sheet by walking on it... (in summertime conditions anyways) in the end its all up to what is most comfortable for you and what gives you the best results! Happy roofing! thanks for your comment!
@@thetrahanman funny you say that, because i was just torching today for the first time in a long while, and i did it walking on the cap sheet, i had 2 types one thicker but with sand and one just a littler thinner but covered in black granules and i torch walked on the black one it went smooth as hell and nearly no damage at all (and i'm heavey 220+) but that was not possible at all with the sanded one, that one marked instantly even being a little thicker... those granules really save the day
where are you from good sir? had lots of people comment about me walking backwards but that's the only way I've seen it done here in Canada lol! Thanks for the nice comment and the feedback!
@@thetrahanman I'm in Washington State. Been doing torch down since 1985. Done a lot of government jobs, such as retirement homes all over the U.S. Not to brag but they have some siriose inspectors. Never got less then a score of 98 out of 100. Like me I see you take pride in your work. That's a rare comodaty in roofing. You just keep doing what you do. No need to change. I would have loved to have you on my crew. Watch that edge now.😅😅
True, i use trowel sometimes, the wood block makes it easier to get a nice bleedout everywhere and to not mark the cap. Inspectors really like it too because you can push your lap with more area and pressure than you could with a trowel
I see guys use rollers, the wood block i think is just faster and covers more ground... Doesnt leave roller marks on the cap. Its a great tool let me tell ya!
I watched one of his videos, seems competent enough... I would have some constructive criticism for him but there are many techniques I've seen in my years roofing and doesn't make one better than the other, whatever works best for you to get a great roof is what I say!
Helps give a better bond on the lap. So that the seal is to the 2 pieces not just the one. Also helps reduce buildup. I think mainly it's to make a better seal on that T-lap...
No sir, a base membrane is mechanically fastened on the laps and perimeter, laps are torch sealed and then the cap sheet gets fully torched to the base membrane
@thetrahanman applied over standard base sheet or straight to deck. We have been using a two ply system peel and stick base with a torch cap and it seals great. But I'd like a thicker base layer seems this is the way ti go..do a video applying base brother
Yeah after 50 videos of morons doing hack jobs without enough heat or bleed out, this guy has it right. I like to heat the top of the roll and a little more heat on the selvage edge, but this guy is hired!
سلام . این ایزوگام کردن هیچ فایده ای ندارد برای صاحب خونه. چون اولا باید بیشتر داغ بشه ایزوگام . و بعدم پشت رول حرکت کنی که پا بخوره که خوب بچسپه. و اون پنج سانتی که میره رو اون ایزوگام باید پای اون ایزوگام پا بخوره .. و آخرین نکته که باید بند های ایزوگام پرس کنی که هیچ وقت آب زیر ایزوگام نره
I push down my end laps so they stick but I always get an 1/8 to 1/4" bleedout on my side laps just from the weight of the roll and I push down with my cane. Thanks for watching! 😊
That's great advice forsure! It's how the manufacturer recommends us put it down here 🤷🏻♂️... I mean we use guard rails and you know your close to the edge when u get there anyways... never had a problem but any other time rather than blasting down field I'd agree with you. To walk forward we would have to stand on our rolls and it's too hot here for that, we would muck it all up🤘🏼
@@thetrahanman yes 👍 we roll our felt round a 4" pipe cut at 98cm, then heat and push roll out with foot keeping a constant even pressure, the roll bar ensures pressure is applied, motions keeping ball of foot on roll always aim for a perfect 6mm bead on lap , but summer we have to start early eg 4am because above 30 degrees felt marks , helps it cooler over hear
@@nonsheep5823 yes and try having fire extinguishers . Everyone saying how great it is but when he does them little jumps with hook look at the seam no bitumen bleed on lap he has to go back and finger it seen better need at least 6 mm continuous bleed .wouldnt pass a bauder inspection sorry to piss on your fire but done and seen better
Sorry this doesnt make sense to me. This is installed EXACTLY to manufacturer specifications. Maybe you are used to using another product, or maybe your just doing it wrong?
This video is a great example for why never to get a big roof touched down. Fellow is going too fast. You saw him have trouble with the seams. I assue you that just because he saw some of the bitumen bleed out from the seam doesn't mean that there is a long lasting bond. On bigger roofs hot mopped bitumen provides a much better and consistent bond.
While I appreciate your comment I disagree with you on the long lasting bond. While I'm not the best in the industry, I have been doing this for well over 10 years, I take pride in what I do and have not had a problem or a callback yet. I have done some roofing systems in Calgary, AB that were applied with hot tar all the way up to the base sheet. We would still fully torch the cap sheet. There are many different application methods and systems approved by the different manufacturers each of which have their pros and cons. I find the best application usually depends on the customers budget among other factors. Most people in our area don't use hot applied roofing anymore. Where are you from JR?
Jr I think that there are different specs for torchtown rolls depending on where you're from if you're in California or Texas need to apply more heat if you're in a colder area Canada or Northeast you need less heat That's why you see a lot of times people in cold climate pulling on the torch down instead of walking from the back the modified bit is different softness. Just because something is true for you doesn't mean that you have the full picture.
@@stephen2738 you got it totaly wrong, everything deepends of the mixture of the membrane, in canada from ehat i learned they normaly(correct me if im wrong ) use a sbs membrane like soprema same as here i norway, in america where you are from, the most common type is a app type membrane a bleeding membrane, but the sbs is a sticky membrane what means if you have a occean of melted asfalt ore more then 5 mm bleed out on seams it is overheated.. facts, hot tar and paper is very good, BUT should really not be used on insulation really, but i understand we have different ways to do the work, like here in norway we use hot tar an paper only on concret.
@@olejaerson1852 what are you saying I am wrong about? We are talking about APP Torch down which is a Modified Bitumen Roofing Membrane. We are not talking about sbs. There are different specifications from different manufacturers of APP torchtown. The reasons are in thickness in pliability because of temperatures and different use cases. That's why in New York or in different parts of the country you see people applying towardstown by walking behind the role and pushing it with their foot because we will not ruin the application by stepping on the portion that was just heated. If you try to use this method in Canada or in colder climates you will leave footprints in the torchtown because the formulation of the APP modified is softer so it is not brittle and is easily applied in colder climates. That's where they pull it and walk backwards.
@@stephen2738 ok, maby i have missunderstod you but, you say you talked about app membrane, but you also said mopped membrane gives better bonding, that im not totaly agree, it deepend on the surface. Do you apply it on insulation etc, do you use a 2 ply system when you mop. On roof with insulation with insulation ore wooden deck roof im no fan of hot liquid mambrane install. But thats my opinion and because it is not allowed here in norway, i know it's other rules in your countries. :) But please check out hesselbertak on youtube, and se how and where we are using hot tar and paper :)
This is flawless. "The flat roof doctor" guy should watch and learn

why is the felt not made to overlap instead of adjoining each other? is it not better to overlap to prevent seepage of rainwater or snow water?
all our rolls overlap... nothing is butt together... side laps are 3" typically and end laps are 6" overlap
before you do the torch down on the flat roof, what was the black sheet called under?
That's just base sheet, or specifically torchflex 180 base
is #75 better than #150? What about the torch one you put down, are there better ones I should look for

No roll bar used in application, roll bar helps to maintain equal pressure across the roll to allow spread of bitumen

@mister perfect you explained it perfectly and in Canada it is also manufacturer spec.
@@thetrahanman It is in the MFG. specs. Most roofers dont care to read or follow them. Good work!
Are you just torching it down on the deck? Why no build-up?
No sir, a base membrane is mechanically fastened on the laps and perimeter, laps are torch sealed and then the cap sheet gets fully torched to the base membrane
@@thetrahanman Thank you for taking the time to deliver this explanation. Perhaps you can do a video on this measure.
What base sheet is that?
IKO torchflex 180
@thetrahanman applied over standard base sheet or straight to deck. We have been using a two ply system peel and stick base with a torch cap and it seals great. But I'd like a thicker base layer seems this is the way ti go..do a video applying base brother
We installed asphalt board over the deck area and fully torched the base sheet to that. More expensive but nicer in the long run
@@thetrahanman awesome!
Need to put another material under this Sbs or you just can put on top of old let say ice and water shield
In insulated roof systems yes. On this system the insulation is under the roof deck so our base membrane gets fastened directly to the deck

I push down my end laps so they stick but I always get an 1/8 to 1/4" bleedout on my side laps just from the weight of the roll and I push down with my cane. Thanks for watching! 😊
Is this for experience people it looks way easier. Than Putin singles down
I would say they both take skill, looks easy but it's all about consistent heat and the right amount of heat. Not too much and not too little
No . Were best in uk we don't walk backwards on a roof!!
That's great advice forsure! It's how the manufacturer recommends us put it down here 🤷🏻♂️... I mean we use guard rails and you know your close to the edge when u get there anyways... never had a problem but any other time rather than blasting down field I'd agree with you. To walk forward we would have to stand on our rolls and it's too hot here for that, we would muck it all up🤘🏼
@@thetrahanman yes 👍 we roll our felt round a 4" pipe cut at 98cm, then heat and push roll out with foot keeping a constant even pressure, the roll bar ensures pressure is applied, motions keeping ball of foot on roll always aim for a perfect 6mm bead on lap , but summer we have to start early eg 4am because above 30 degrees felt marks , helps it cooler over hear
@@nonsheep5823 yes and try having fire extinguishers . Everyone saying how great it is but when he does them little jumps with hook look at the seam no bitumen bleed on lap he has to go back and finger it seen better need at least 6 mm continuous bleed .wouldnt pass a bauder inspection sorry to piss on your fire but done and seen better
Water still 9n roof . No good
whatchu talkin bout Willis?! lol no water on the roof, maybe u seeing the poly on the base sheet?
Not at all your all divs your supposed to put each layer other way 1 vertical next one horizontal not the same way bad roofing sorry so simple
Sorry this doesnt make sense to me. This is installed EXACTLY to manufacturer specifications. Maybe you are used to using another product, or maybe your just doing it wrong?
You can see experience in the first minute. Real tradesman are easy to see.
thank you!
This video is a great example for why never to get a big roof touched down. Fellow is going too fast. You saw him have trouble with the seams. I assue you that just because he saw some of the bitumen bleed out from the seam doesn't mean that there is a long lasting bond. On bigger roofs hot mopped bitumen provides a much better and consistent bond.
While I appreciate your comment I disagree with you on the long lasting bond. While I'm not the best in the industry, I have been doing this for well over 10 years, I take pride in what I do and have not had a problem or a callback yet.
I have done some roofing systems in Calgary, AB that were applied with hot tar all the way up to the base sheet. We would still fully torch the cap sheet.
There are many different application methods and systems approved by the different manufacturers each of which have their pros and cons. I find the best application usually depends on the customers budget among other factors. Most people in our area don't use hot applied roofing anymore. Where are you from JR?
Jr I think that there are different specs for torchtown rolls depending on where you're from if you're in California or Texas need to apply more heat if you're in a colder area Canada or Northeast you need less heat That's why you see a lot of times people in cold climate pulling on the torch down instead of walking from the back the modified bit is different softness. Just because something is true for you doesn't mean that you have the full picture.
@@stephen2738 you got it totaly wrong, everything deepends of the mixture of the membrane, in canada from ehat i learned they normaly(correct me if im wrong ) use a sbs membrane like soprema same as here i norway, in america where you are from, the most common type is a app type membrane a bleeding membrane, but the sbs is a sticky membrane what means if you have a occean of melted asfalt ore more then 5 mm bleed out on seams it is overheated.. facts, hot tar and paper is very good, BUT should really not be used on insulation really, but i understand we have different ways to do the work, like here in norway we use hot tar an paper only on concret.
@@olejaerson1852 what are you saying I am wrong about? We are talking about APP Torch down which is a Modified Bitumen Roofing Membrane. We are not talking about sbs. There are different specifications from different manufacturers of APP torchtown. The reasons are in thickness in pliability because of temperatures and different use cases. That's why in New York or in different parts of the country you see people applying towardstown by walking behind the role and pushing it with their foot because we will not ruin the application by stepping on the portion that was just heated. If you try to use this method in Canada or in colder climates you will leave footprints in the torchtown because the formulation of the APP modified is softer so it is not brittle and is easily applied in colder climates. That's where they pull it and walk backwards.
@@stephen2738 ok, maby i have missunderstod you but, you say you talked about app membrane, but you also said mopped membrane gives better bonding, that im not totaly agree, it deepend on the surface. Do you apply it on insulation etc, do you use a 2 ply system when you mop. On roof with insulation with insulation ore wooden deck roof im no fan of hot liquid mambrane install. But thats my opinion and because it is not allowed here in norway, i know it's other rules in your countries. :)
But please check out hesselbertak on youtube, and se how and where we are using hot tar and paper :)
To fast not long should hole the heat longer on it not sealed
Oh she's sealed. Appreciate you watching! ✌🏽😎🤘🏼
Mopping is better last longer
I respectfully disagree. Lol roof on bro 🤘🏼
Mopping is for Neanderthals and banned in most civilized nations. Half life of torch down too.
