Review of How to save your Metal Roof by Repairing Leaks Permanently

Found the FRD on YouTube and he seemed to know what he was talking about while fixing a leak on a chimney flashing. He said to use Turbo Poly Seal. So I said Ok. Ordered and did my repair. Did the repair yesterday evening. And it is raining now (7/7/20). Did exactly as the Doctor ordered. I Will let you know how it goes after the next 3 days of rain.
