Here is the only picture we took after putting the roof on today. Learned a ton.
1. Forget the instructions. Do 4' at a time MAX. It is much easier.
2. Make sure the rubber membrane is straight or nearly so.
3. Don't do this on a windy day.
4. USE LOTS OF GLUE. We had to pull up the first section and lay another layer of glue. From then on we did 4' sections and rolled on glue in two layers for each section. This worked very well.
5. Don't step onto the roof while it is drying. Use luan on or something else to distribute your weight. (This was in the instructions.)
Your roof is looking in a very good condition. I think your roof will be dried within 2 or 3 days then you can step on it. I have to change my roof in next month. I 'll try to follow your instructions. Thanks for sharing such valuable tips with us.
