Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
An all-weather flashing cement like #779 earns its place in every service truck because it bonds and cures on damp surfaces where standard cements fail. Embed fiberglass or polyester membrane into the wet mastic for a permanent repair rather than relying on mastic alone. The mid-season grade is the right choice for moderate temperature application windows; adjust grade selection to your job conditions.
Contains petroleum solvents; follow label directions, ensure ventilation and keep away from ignition sources during application.
Add RM Lucas #779 All-Weather Flashing Cement to your next flashing repair order.
