    Bill, I would have added the liquid bitumen product. Crommelin 1l is about $16. Now bitumen is also compatible with drinking water surfaces. To make the job longer lasting soak it to a support cloth, polyester, fiberglass, cotton etc. This is specially useful for the first roof surface you fixed. It can be painted if the repair surface is visible. The paintbrush can be cleaned in water Keep em coming

    Thank you so much for the video. Can I ask a stupid question? Will it be better if I use multiple layers of multiple products? For example a layer of silicon and two layers of waterproof membrane plus one layer of maybe tape? 😂 and how about those seal paste? Thank you

    Question, do you know which one of the 3 would work best in a place with lower temps during winter. We are talking Minnesota weather so sometimes in the minus.
    Thank you for the video, very helpful

    hey man. I have leaking gutters but on all the joins. I have a colourbond roof and right at the back of the join is very hard to get to and clean properly but tried my best and got it pretty clean and dry. I have tried with roof and gutter silicone with longer silicone nozzles to reach right at the back of the join. Siliconed it but still leaks. Improved it but still leaking ( mainly from the rivets) Very annoying. Just drips. Should I try the spray ? Do I need to clean and take off the silicone I put before applying the spray? I have only done it from the inside of the gutter

    • @redpost2380

      Applying silicone is far from ideal. Just remove the old silicone (yes it is hard but essential) and apply a liquid bitumen coat. It will fill the small holes. You may want to apply a DILUTED bitumen coat so that it fills those tiny holes. Then apply a full coat. Better if you also stick a support cloth over it and apply the second coat. It will outlast your guttering. Ensure the surface is spotlessly clean

    On our leaking tin roof I used gaffer tape to cover the rusted problem areas, then painted over with that grey Crommelin waterproofing compound - absolutely fantastic, and has held solid for over a year now.

    Hi Bill, Thank you so much for making this video, your a life saver. Love all your video easy to follow no bs approach. Can you please do a video on toilets constantly running water replacing the inlet valve and outlet seal replacement.

  • @Theyralltakenfu

    I thought I'd like the spray but it's just too think and by the time you get a little area done, it's gone. I'd rather use the gallon container and seal it properly

  • @omerelustu3552

    I have to reseal my box gutter at a warehouse, should I clean the previous silicone off before applying the crommelin or just paint it straight on top 2 coats?

  • @bluerineimb1148
    @bluerineimb1148 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the job isent done with first coat the product is no good because that means you have to go back up the ladder again if your working on a job that's to much time and effort heavy liquid products are much better

    I have a gutter placed in the housing of a canopy, with lexan plates, not at the end of it but just before it.
    The gutter leaks from the brackets that support it (a few drops), especially in the point where there is the slope of the canopy near the hole and the end of the gutter, there is a continuous stream of water.

  • @WalkOverHotCoal
    @WalkOverHotCoal 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the tips. I think the Aerosol LeakSeal is the go as it can get in and onto inaccessible places. I have used a product which is similar to a thick bitumen tar. It is most useful as it is can be forced into cracked to get a proper seal. In fact, you can make it run better but heating it with a heat gun. Not pretty as it is black as tar (pun) and is lumpy. But it is out of sight anyway, up in the roof gutters.

    • @redpost2380

      Application of most aerosol can contents is not as good as the good old disposable brush. This is especially the case on old surfaces. For longevity and flexibility Bitumen should be applied to a reinforcing cloth or fabric as it may crack over the years. Water Based Bitumen Paint is environmentally safe, easy to apply and suitable for use for the collection of drinking water

      You can apply multiple coats for larger cracks however I wouldn’t use it for anything larger then hairline cracks and joints

    Hi Bill, I hope you see this😊... you sound like an Aussie 🇦🇺 so I'm just wondering if could please tell me if the 1st one is the same as (same brand) silicon as yours said concrete ? I'm going to Bunnings & there's one for $6 & the concrete is $25... do both do the same thing? Thanks

    You didn't do sh*t but spray some deodorant on a joint. We didn't see if it worked or not. Nor, did we see any other products you displayed. #ClickBait
