Choose a repair product by the material it must bond to, the existing coating, and the shape of the repair. Both products have specific uses; one product is not a universal substitute for the other.

What to check first

  • Use Super Silicone Seal for direct EPDM and glass repairs.
  • Consider Turbo Poly Seal for compatible metal, TPO, modified bitumen, and masonry details.
  • Remove the previous repair completely before switching between the products.

Compare the roof and the repair, not just the label

  1. Identify the complete system

    Find out which membrane is present, whether it is coated, and what repairs have already been applied. These details determine the actual bonding surface.

  2. Compare the scope and limitations

    Ask what will be repaired, what underlying damage will be investigated, and what remains outside the proposed work. No single product corrects every roof defect.

  3. Check current instructions

    Use the published compatibility, preparation, application, and safety information for the selected product. Keep subsequent repairs in the same system; follow removal instructions before switching.
