Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Use SMARTFAB 500 at flashing details, seams and repairs—bed it into a wet coat of SmartFlash ONE or the SMARTCOAT base coat, broom it flat to eliminate fishmouths, then top-coat immediately. Pick 4 in. or 6 in. for tight details and 12 in. or 20 in. for wider patches, and step up to SMARTFAB 501 for full field reinforcement. Keep rolls dry and sealed until use.
Work with proper rooftop fall protection and PPE, and follow the coating system data sheets for safe application.
