I did my screen room roof with it last year and rolled some on a piece of plywood as a test. I left it outside and it looked pretty bad after about 6 months. Well, it didn't look so great when I rolled it on either. As far as durability it was OK. It stained easily, my sample was under the branches of an oak tree. I decided it wasn't a good match for teardrop roofs for aesthetic reasons.

...having used it for other reasons(the ones it was intended for), I would not use it to seal up a tears roof...you spend too much money, blood and sweat to not use something that will work onna permanent basis...epoxy and paint or a solid membrane such as aluminum or such are the best ways to protect your investment......

I , on the otherhand had real good luck with it on my motorcycle tear. It has been in the weather 2 winters without any type of protection and the osb looks as good today as when I coated it. I think I would agree as a finished coating it is chalky and will stain but as a protective coating it works well. Eggbert will be getting a marine grade vinyl roof over the free pool steel roof he currently has ( Well it was free ). The osb sides were painted black and covered with the bronze lexan I had left over from Chubby's build.
