Thanks for comments and likes, you can buy all the tools, ( Torch ) at your local roofing suppliers, you will need some training before starting with torching your self, like working with propane, make sure as a beginner keep your flame low and under your control, If you have a gravel roof that need a patch, clean the gravel all the way to tar nice an flat and then start your torching, make sure you seal all the way around with caulking. Im sure you guys will able to do small repair but please do not start a totally replacement by only watching this video, you need more experience, there is alot going on the job site
If customer does not want to pay for flashing then still we will manage to waterproof it and save our clients there money plus for this job we are providing 10 years warranty and plus this way you can be sure it will last long, we torch the base slightly in the center and waterproof the eges, which is a lot better then nailing the base, already had repaired many of them in toronto because does nails pop out after 5 to 10 years.
That answer may work on your average customer but not me. I dont care if a customer is cheap I never sacrifice quality. A $10 piece of metal flashing and some time would give them a product that will exceed your worthless 10 year workmanship warranty on a product designed to last 40+ years
You shouldn't wave the camera around like a light saber, I missed to see your details. You need to move the camera very very slow to capture everything.
The size of roofs we do one run all the way across the roof in this manner would take a month lol holy moly thank goodness for TPO and robots ;) dude use mop down at least if u HAVE to use tar ..you’ll be done a year earlier
You forgot to mention how all TPO failed and the formula had to be reworked lol. Single Ply is way faster but it’s not as good of a roof. If all you care about is speed and not quality of the roof then just do ballasted EPDM.
To bad i see some dislike here i want you to know the camra shows a lots of fire over there but its because of to much light infact that propane tank was almost done and it had not much power plus we are using 250 cap which is the thickest, iso 3 in, protect bord all over, base 180, cap 250, keep in mind low heat wont let the job last long and it will leak in matter of 5 years, plus i guarantee this job will last over 25 years, does who dislike give me a call i will take you to the job site so that you see the job after 3 years i bit it will look like new even after 10 years and thats just because we know what we are doing. As someone who does roofing for 15 years i have tried many different ways to make sure the job last long with no trouble and this is one of the best ways at the moment.For those who dislike this video read carefully once i torch my base my job wont leak even if i leave the job like that in the middle of winter for as long as i want, when i torch the cap every peace of it get seald over the base ( not just the corners)
Just haters bro u got this a lot of guys like to criticize but put them in the field and they look like complete nimrods lol like u was talkin all that shit and look at you! Wouldn't even let u torch the charcoal in my grill u might fuck something up! Lol. It be nice to talk shit with videos of your own but they really picking up tips from u lol.
U need to practice more, when u walk behind the roll and torch, you dont really torch the roll thats why you can walk on it, I torch the roll way more than you, if someone step on it, right away the foot print shows up, i fount out this method last over 20 years, i have seen roofs that was torched this way and the owner just need a small repair for 25 years old flat roof, you can walk behind the base but defiantly torch the cap Propper, when u walk behind the torch and torch the front, you dont really torch the Centre lol, that where you walk, and that area will have a bubble after 5 to 10 years. My warranty for flat roof is 10 years, so i got to push more.
Own a brick construction 2-storey home in Toronto. Have a detached garage that's a few metres away from the main building and would like to extend the flat roof of the garage to the side of the home to create an enclosed porch. I'm sure you have seen this in your practice many times. Any advice?
Can't read the brand name on it, it's gone. There are available at your local roofing suppliers and uselly the flame is adjustable. in order to torch cap250 you need more strong flame and less strong when is cap180. but u better go for cap250 it's much better.
Thank you everyone for the likes you give it for this job, at first i made this video for my costomer and i had no idea i will get this much view, this video was not made for TH-cam viewer's so im sorry for camera quality, i know im not good with camera,
Very poor workmanship I have been a Forman for a very long time you should take this video down before your competitors or the ministry of labor see it I see alot of fines in your future,that is if you are still in business lol
🤔 all details should be separate to allow expansion. As for flat area there’s no pressure on the roll which will create blisters over time as air is trapped between the felt and substrate as for the returns around roof dome should be overlapped with a minimum of 100mm and hidden and following the natural fall of the roof..would love see how this roof ever passes for a guarantee.. stick to ridding you horse you bunch of cowboys 🤠
With any roof its about the quality of the base layer and then the cap which goes over it. A bad base leads to a bad cap...which leads to leaks.... If you have an old roof with a questionable base the best answer is always going to be get down to smooth surface be it wood or concrete...Put on a good primer if its cement so that the cap will stick...Or good paper (or similar) for wood...And then put on the cap layer properly and seal the edges properly. The answer for can my new roof go on over my old roof is almost always no....Because you want to inspect and repair the underlying structure...And then get a complete and proper base layer. Imagine the old sloped shingle roof where the paper is old and rotten...And the wood below is wet and rotting. Without looking...and replacing...how would you ever know? Look, can you re-roof over an old roof without all of those steps? Sure...but then youre gambling that your improper repair lasts as long as it should. Why gamble with that kind of money?
@@Kentaebkatheeblacksheep I use a scrap of copper tube ($10) and just hammer the end into a curl, and wrap hockey tape around the top where you hold it for grip and so it doesn't get too hot. Been using the same one for almost 10 years now. Much better to roll it with the hook and walk backwards than to step all over the membrane and leave footprints. You can also use the hook to press down the seam so the mod. bit. squeezes out nicely and forms a good seal.
I did apply this material in my house's roof almost 30 years ago and it works great. I can tell you guys knows what you are doing. Excellent job!
How much gas you expend per roll?

for this job we spend about 60 lb gas,
Finally someone who knows how to torch, so tired of seeing guys going backwards stepping on the roll , burning the cap and scarring it

I’m a young fella and I love flat roofing. Good career
I have to admit the torch on phelt seems alot better then the UK one
Here in Finland never seen that kind of flame. Here is generally used Sievert and 4 bar backstroke
Did this for two summers at my 19 and 20 y.o. in NJ
when i was kid i use to have to follow the guy with the torch an throw down granules were the runs overlap.

I think you did a fine job Ive been doing torch since the late '70s. Id like to know the brand of torch you use it puts out quite a flame.
Yl
Magnum fielding wand
What is the brand of your torch? I like to know. What a flame! My sievert torch never give out so much gas.
Magnum torch….. cheap garbage almost as bad as a sievert soprema titanium is the ONLY torch to use

sorry for that, let me know what are u interested and i will make another video, i might soon make a proper video and explain torching a bit more.
but it is black color so it will absorb sunlight and in summer it will be problem.

Light it up !
From where can we get it
what is the technical detail of the membrane?
180 base, 250 cap, there is also thiner base called T95, but 180 is better, Cap comes in 180 and 250, always use 250
How can i get that gun for such a nice flame? am looking for one here in Mozambique and I can not find.
Look up soprema torch
Cooking that sheet
thats how you finish your caps?
What is the brand of torch you use. and using propane as a tube.

@@user-sq2kz8ss9s I would fire you if you were my foreman
What happens if you come off the previouse row, when you do torch on shouldnt you be on at least 2 inches on the previouse run
It goes on top like 4 inch
6 inch
And degranulate
I roll my seams, it looks better and your tags go on the inside.
Not bad, I prefer to set the rolls with a hand torch, then pulling them using a dragon wagon and at least a 40 pound propane tank.
Different folk different stroke
Never done this before..that torch needs to constantly run like that ?

Point your torch down towards towards the field no air gets under it

Why do you use a hook?
Jawbreaker They use it to roll the Material along the roof, with out getting burned
We stand other side and use our foot to roll membrane. No need a hook.
Where can I find this hook looks easier to me.
@@oguzforever yeah me too.. its better for the overlaps so that you can press it in a little
