One Step roof Patch...Kold King in a Can!
« Back To Roofers Talk

Well, we rolled this product onto the market today. It was my brainchild from over 20 years ago and finally we're ready to do it.
Essentially, it's the chopped fiberglass emulsion roof system in a 5 gallon pail (4.5 gal.). On one hand it eliminates the need for a Kold King rig, but on the other it's a great product for small roofs and especially roof repairs, but the Kold King rigs still offer a huge advantage on larger roofs.
We have a strategy to make this ok with existing Kold Kingers but we will talk to them about that directly. We aren't interested in throwing Kold Kingers under the bus with this.
This product is awesome for roof repairs, flashing work (sticks to a vertical wall), recoating aged or hail damaged roofs, etc. Simply dump it out on the roof and smooth it with a common angled household broom found at any dollar store of hardware store.
Now, don't beat me up on the gravel prep on the video - this was done on our roof and we needed to get video shot under less than ideal circumstances. Better video will come later.
We have patent pending on this product as it is a new form of producing an old product. Also, it turns out that it is a LOT more complicateds than just running a chopping gun into buckets. We had to do a lot of R&D to get it right and we're not too concerned about someone firing up their rig and filling buckets to compete with us.
We have work to do to get the shipping costs squarted away better, but here it is:

That was casual all right. Just yanking your chain. Looks like a good product.

Yeah the shorts were by design. The theory is that most of our customers will be do it yourselfers and thus we thus went for the casual look. :)

I can't count the times we've been working with chopped glass emulsion out of buckets for flashing or repairs, and someone said "Man, someone should sell this in buckets."
It really is nice to work with. Like cement, it is thixotrophic meaning that it is firm until you move it just a little and then it becomes more liquid. Once you stop moving it, it becomes like pudding again.
