You should have minimum 6” degranulation on over lap. All that work with 2x4 can be done just as well or better with trowel. In my opinion looks good and consistent bleed out on cap sheet end but doesn’t look like other side is completely welded consistently to the end.

Why not walk on the sheet when you torch it ? Im just asking, because i have done that for 15 years and have nothing bad to say about walking on the sheet. If you think about the shoe marks, that mean you just over heat it. The way you are doing youre job is up to the roofer. :)

i bet it's stuck but are you sure you are applying enough heat throughout the enire roll and not just the lap? seems a little quick. try preheating the lap a few feet behind you as well it may give a slightly more pronounced bleed out.

I know application specs can vary country to country so for reference I am in Canada. We follow all manufacturers installation specifications. Also don't know what the white mineral is... I'm assuming the color of the cap sheet? They come in all different colors, the most typical being Grey, as seen here, black or light black. Thanks for your comment!

True, i use trowel sometimes, the wood block makes it easier to get a nice bleedout everywhere and to not mark the cap. Inspectors really like it too because you can push your lap with more area and pressure than you could with a trowel

This is the best way to do torch not the scab way by walking on your cap sheet or your field sheet while torching. This is way better than displacement, this is what you will learn in the Union. This is not what you learn from a non-union shop. Which is what we call a SCAB roofer….. Go United Brothers of Roofers & Waterproofers Local 54 Seattle WA.

quick question about your preference for under torching instead of over torching and walking on the cap sheet?... i'm trying to decide for myself which way to do it

@thetrahanman

Жыл бұрын

it's just how I was taught from the beginning... not sure where you are from but everyone I have ever known roofing walks backwards when torching field. Definately not as safe as walking on your cap but if you are aware of your surroundings and you have a safety railing installed, walking on base is definately better in my opinion. Sometimes I will see guys walk on the cap sheet when they have nowhere else to go, like end of a roll in a corner and when it's hot and you are fully torching your stuff properly you will almost always muck up your cap sheet by walking on it... (in summertime conditions anyways) in the end its all up to what is most comfortable for you and what gives you the best results! Happy roofing! thanks for your comment!
