    Anybody use any of these types of paints lately and what results did you get
    ?

    They look pretty pricy, some are 122 sterling for 3.8 litres :(
    Thanks

    What kind of roof material are you repairing
    Have you tried Roof 7 of the Tec 7 family
    About 50e for 5kg covers about 2.5m² @ 1.5mm

    Looked at the Roof 7 stuff.
    .
    I must say it looks the business: will try a small tin just for a look see.
    .
    100 euro for 10 kg and it says 2kgs per coat per m² so two coats is 4 kg per m² so 2.5 m² per 100 euro or 1,000 for 25 m²
    I gather its not really for full coverage, more repairs.
    .
    I went with
    https://www.bostik.com/Ireland/products/bostik-waterstop-liquid-14kg

    100 euro and 1 kg per coat per m2 so 2 kg per m² for two coats so 7 m² per tub or say 3 tubs for 25 m² 300 euro

    It's easy to apply.

    A BTW,

    I used this recently on a flat roof.. https://www.screwfix.com/p/isoflex-liquid-rubber-black-4-25ltr/29518

    Had to commute to NI but pricewise was worth it.

    Okay, so the first coat has dried out and the rain last night highlights the hollows in the roof. I know they are not an issue with water lodged if the roof is sealed but any thoughts on how you might fill them.. cheaply..
    The stuff did a good job
