" -Let's talk a little bit about rubber roofing. You, have you already got it all down?"

" -No. No we've just fitted it. We've got some of it done and we're just trimming around the post--"

" --Ok.--"

" --and we're ready to glue this up."

" -So this half of it is not glued up yet and this back half is?"

" -Yes."

" -Oh I see. Yes. Now, boy I'll say. Now once this touches the glue it's, it's had it right?"

" -That's it. Yes--"

" --You can't move it around anymore?--"

" --No."

" -What about situations like this where you have a crack in between the plywood?--"

" --Well--"

" --Don't you have to fill it?"

" -Now with this heavy rubber it just goes right over. You won't even see it afterwards."

" -Yes. And Steve what kind of an adhesive is this that you got in the bucket here?"

" -This, this is just a bonding adhesive that goes from the plywood to the rubber. "

" -Oh right. Smells great. Ok we'll watch you roll it out"

" -Now what's the first, the, the main thing to keep in mind when you're spreading this kind of glue out like this?"

" -Coz he wants to do a nice, even layer so there's no puddles or anything coz if you have a lot of puddles you're gonna have a lot of bubbles in the, in the rubber. "

" -And it looks like it's a very thin layer--"

" --Yes."

" --There's not very much of it going on."

" -No, you don't need too much."

" -So the way that you're Going at this reminds me of working with plastic laminates and that you have to out the adhesive on both surfaces--"

" --Yes and then you gotta wait until it's almost dry. Very tacky."

" --Which on a nice day like today is maybe 10 minutes?"

" -Yes, no more."

" -So you just slide it out like that--"

" --Yes."

" --and you prevent any air bubbles from getting under it"

" -Any air bubbles that would you can usually rub right out."

" -Ok so you've got enough of the, the same sheet that you can bring it right up the side wall here?"

" -Right. It's the same piece that will go right up the wall so there's no laps at all--"

" --And you, you don't have to worry, worry about ice building up or--"

" --No--"

" --anything like that"

" --No."

" -Yes. Ok. Now I was just noticing that you've got other pieces of a different material here--"

" --Right. That, well, this is your flashing rubber. It molds right around the, the post for us--"

" --So that--"

" --We're gonna, we're gonna was this right now."

" -When you say wash it--"

" --Well this is a cleaner. A splice cleaner."

" -And it's just a liquid."

" -Right. And what it does is that is primes the rubber so that the splicing adhesive will bond to it much better."

" -Yes I keep being reminded of fixing flats."

" -It, it probably would."

" -We're putting the splice flow [unk] down."

" -Now, this looks unlike a roofing cement product like a tar."

" -No. It's, it's [unk] it's a splice. It's a [unk] and its for their fishing [unk]."

" -So it's a chemical product?"

" -Yes."

" -You have to put it on both the, the post and the------ You do I guess."

" -Yes. -Yes."

" -And we gotta let it setup the same as we do on the bonding adhesive. "

" -5 or 10 minutes?"

" -It's 5 or 10 minutes or so. And then we're gonna wrap it right around that whole post and that'll be the end of it."

" -Okay. Well maybe were ready to put the, the other section up the side where the------"

" -Sure. We can do this right now."

" -I gotta let go here."

" -Okay. She should go right up."

" -And once it goes up, you don't need to nail it anywhere or staple it right?"

" -Well, they, they will now coat [unk] through the top part of this with, with the------"

" -With the siding."

" -With the siding. So that will, you know, so in case or whatever creaked out or something like that. But that's it. Here we go. That way, [unk] lot to come back up."

" -And you don't have to worry about------"

" -You wont have to worry about it because they seem concerned here with the, with the water."

" -But let's see if this is set up yet. Okay."

" -Now our glue's ready."

" -So this is also a rubberized product------"

" -Yes."

" -but it comes with the, an adhesive already applied to it."

" -And this, once that touches, I'd sand a bit."

" -It has no grace [unk]."

" -No grace. You just take it off, throw it away and start all over again."

" -I hate it. But I'm sure you're gonna get a good tight joint there. And that's one of the most problematic places coz what we had was a 4 by 4 post that's been let through the deck sheeting and bolted on to the rafters below it. So it's good and solid. But it's always gonna have a little bit of motion. And when you have a little bit of motion and a roofing material, you're gonna end up with a leak. That looks pretty good though Steve."

" -Yes. It seems to work quite well."

" -Yes. Nice job."
