Metal Roof leak repairs
We have been using Turbo Poly Seal on all our Metal Roof Repairs. The hardest part always is to remove all the junk people have used trying to repair leaks. From silicone caulk to adhesive tapes to tar. It is our experience that metal roof seams are big issues and a battle for owners to keep it from leaking hence all the repairs. When we started using Turbo Poly Seal we were elated with results on how much time and money we saved. In many instances, we covered large rusted holes with great success.
The standing seams in metal roofs cause many problems when skylights or airconditioner curbs are installed. When the standing seams buts up to the curb wall, it causes water to pool. This creates a problem over time. To combat water collecting between the standing seams above a skylight or Airconditioner unit, we cut a section away of the seam to allow the roof to be flat around the curb so water can flow around the curb. To seal the cutout metal seams, we use Turbo Poly Seal.
The following images will give a detailed explanation of standing seam issues against curb flashings of skylights and air conditioners.
The arrow points to the rusted area and a hole in the metal roof due to standing water. This problem happens all the time when standing seams butts up against a curb causing water to collect. See how we went about it to repair it with Turbo Poly Seal.
First, take an angle grinder with steel brush attached and clean the surface from rust. Remove all old caulking and tar. Try to remove as much rust as possible.
After cleaning and preparing the surface take a brush and paint a coat of Turbo Poly Seal covering the rusted areas. Make sure to cover the fasteners and extend over the seam panels.
After covering the surface, install a Polyester Fleece over the entire coated surface. Smoothe the Fleece out with your fingers to remove any air pockets.
After leveling the Polyester Fleece, it is time to add a final coat of sealant. Take the can and pour the content out over the fleece.
Take a disposable brush and spread the sealant evenly over the Polyester fleece.
The final result should look like this. There is no need to install a polyester fleece over all the areas. If the metal surface is still good, then a coat of the Turbo Poly Seal will be good enough.

Yes, Turbo Poly Seal performs well in cold climates
I live in the American Southwest, El Paso, Texas, how will this product hold up to the scorching heat of the Desert? If I can get five years between resealing of the roof fixtures and skylights I'll be happy.
Hi
After applying the Turbo Poly Seal I recommend you coat it with Silver coating.
That way you are sure that it is protected against ultraviolet rays.
How do you buy the silver coating.which product is i
The silver coating is Aluminum Asphalt that can be purchased at Home Depot or any roofing supply house.
Hi John. You should get 5 years easy. What I recommend in severe ultraviolet exposures is to paint the Turbo Poly seal with silver coating or any other oil-based paint. But, before painting it, paint an extra coat and wait a day or two before painting it with protective paint.
how many square feet does 1 gallon cover?
can this be used directly on top of a concrete chimney crown? what surface prep is required?
It all depends on the type of surface, and thickness you do. I guess roughly 10 - 15 sq ft
Yes, it is perfect to apply it directly to any surface accept EPDM rubber. It works perfect on cement surfaces like chimney caps. There is no prep necessary.
can you give me an examples of epdm rubber? is rubberized wet patch epdm? are rubber boots on vent pipes epdm? thanks
EPDM is a black synthetic rubber that is the same they use for innertubes on car tires. I used the Turbo Poly Seal over a roof boot that is made from EPDM but made the transition from the pipe to the roof itself or the flashing.
What colors does Turbo poly Seal come in?
It only comes in a brown color.
Can you ship to Panama?
If not, do you know if Turbo Poly Seal can is safe for airfreight?
Not at this present time. We still have to register with customs. I don’t know of a similar product that can perform like Turbo Poly Seal.
Sorry
dose the sealant come in white color ?
No, only in Brown. But you could paint over the Turbo Poly seal.
do you have a retail store in your plant that I could visit to pick up my items and chat to be sure I understand how to successfully use your product?
Unfortunately, we only sell online. Sorry about that.
Hi, do you ship to Puerto Rico?
Sorry, I don't think we can ship to Puerto Rico
Can I use a product called Permakote (Nationwide Coating) as a top coat for the roof after I have installed Poly Turbo Seal where needed? It is a white roof coating used a lot here in Florida. The metal roof has had a few bad patch jobs and has a few leaks. Just bought the building so I want to start on the roof first.
Yes you can
Can it also be used in metal poles, and Can it stop rust? What is the outside temperature range to apply it.
It is always to prepare the surface. Rust is like dirt. The Turbo Poly Seal will bond to the rust but the rust will flake away eventually.
Rust is duo to Oxygen and moist. So anytime you cost metal with any type of coating, it is likely to prevent rust. In this case, yes, Turbo Poly Seal will prevent rust.
