To apply Black Jack Silver-Seal 300 Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating, follow these preparation and application steps based on manufacturer guidelines: 1. Surface Preparation • Clean the Roof: Remove all dirt, dust, leaves, and loose debris using a broom, blower, or pressure washer. Ensure the surface is completely dry and has proper drainage before starting. • Repair Leaks and Cracks: Inspect the roof for seams, cracks, blisters, or penetrations (such as vents or skylights). Repair them using compatible roof cement and universal patching fabric, and let them cure. • Check Restrictions: Do not use this product on wood, asphalt shingles, EPDM, TPO, PVC, synthetic roofs, or low slopes under 1%. 2. Mixing the Product • Stir Thoroughly: The aluminum pigment naturally settles to the bottom of the container. Do not thin the product. Mix it thoroughly for several minutes using a power drill with a paint/mortar mixer attachment until the color is uniform. Continue to stir occasionally during application so the aluminum does not re-settle. 3. Weather Conditions • Temperature: Apply only on clear, sunny days when temperatures are between 65°F and 110°F (or a minimum of 55°F depending on specific data sheets). • Rain Window: Make sure no rain is forecasted for 24 to 36 hours after application. 4. Application Method • Tools: Apply using a 3/4-inch nap roof roller, a heavy-duty roof brush, or an airless sprayer (1000–1500 PSI). • Coverage Rate: • Metal roofs: approximately 1 gallon per 75 sq. ft. (or 50–75 sq. ft. per gallon depending on the substrate). • Built-up (BUR) or modified asphalt roofs: approximately 1 gallon per 50 sq. ft.. • Technique: Apply evenly from one edge of the roof to the other. Avoid heavy, thick pooling, as a thin, uniform coat works best. • Drying Time: Dries to the touch in about 4–8 hours and cures fully in 24 to 48 hours. Clean up tools immediately using mineral spirits
