" Let's talk a little bit about rubber roofing you have you already got it all down I don't know where you mount this fitted it. We got some -- it down and now it -- forming around the both. Okay and would rather -- blow them up so. This half of it is not glued up yet and it's back cap is here. -- Now. Boy -- now what's this touches the glue it -- it that it right that's threat -- can't move it around and now. What about situations like this we have a crack in between the plywood well you have to build it now what but they're everywhere I've heard that goes right over you won't even see it afterwards and it. -- what kind of oven adhesive is this that you got in the bucket that it doesn't -- the bombing -- his -- that. Goes from the plywood to the rubber. Right. Smells great -- that OK we'll watch year old it out. But. Now what's the part that the main thing to keep in mind when you're spreading this kind of blew out like this they want the door nice even layer. Well there's no puddles on it and then got a lot of battles you're gonna have little bubbles in the in the rubble and it looks like it's a very thin layer yeah not much of it going on not you don't you -- So the way that -- not going at this reminds me of working with plastic laminate and that you have to put the adhesive on both surface yes. And then you gotta wait until it's almost Iraq. -- Which got a nice day like today maybe ten minutes yeah no more. So you just slide it out like that -- And you prevent any air bubbles from getting under it. And AM bubbles that wouldn't you can usually run right out. OK so you've got enough of the in the same sheet that you can bring it right up the sidewalk there right. -- think it's gonna go right up the wall. So there's no lapse at all you know you don't have to worry worry about ice building up -- not like that don't yet. OK now I was just noticing that you've got other pieces of a different material here below the through -- your flashing rubber. It molds right around the the posts -- so there'll gonna we're gonna washed us right now. When you say wash it well let's could that explain it quite clear is that the liquid great and one of boat with the primes the rubber. So that the splicing a haze of them. Will bond so it must yeah I keep being reminded of fixing flats that. That probably would. We'll bring me. Life we'll. This looks like a roofing cement product like a -- knowledge that -- bird's -- wife with a rubber rob up. And there flash and puts the chemical product yet. You have to put it on both the post and the you do -- and we have a lot of setup the frame. Every -- in the -- of people -- ten minute private and well. And all gonna wrap right around that -- then. That'll be the end of -- already have but the the other section up -- talk radio this right now. We'll let go ahead. And what's it goes up you don't need to nail it anywhere or staple it at all. They've they've all hell broke through the top out of this work. Whipped around with a -- what's exciting but that won't you know -- if -- would ever creep down or something like back. But that's that. -- you know. That way they'll want to come back up. And you don't have to worry about one half the running out of because they seem quite concerned what. The water. But let's see if this has set up yet. -- ready. So this is also a rubber -- product but it comes with. An adhesive already applied to it and that's. What the active at the end of it. It has no grades no grade you just pick it up throw away battle over again it is. But I'm sure you're gonna get a good tight joint there and that's one of the most problematic places there's -- we have the four by four post that's been let through the deck sheathing and bolt it. Onto the rafters below so it's good solid. But. It's always gonna have a little bit of motion. When you have a little bit of motion and a roofing material you -- and it was only. Looks pretty good dusty yeah that sort like well. --"
