Sorry...I have been busy. Vaaa is correct. I did it as it says to do it in the installation specs. I installed my base sheet, then install a SA Base Mid/Ply then set the flashing in Flintbond, covered with another layer of SA Mid ply then installed the Cap sheet. I then sealed around the flashing with Flintbond as specs called for.

If there is a spot on this roof that I believe will fail, these units would be it. But the way it is done now is a huge improvement over the way it was before. They had put the flashing unit on top of the cap sheet then just dumped black mamy everywhere. :woohoo:>>>

I like it, we have been playing with SA here for a couple of years now, usually Mule-Hide but now our suppliers stock liberty so we use it every now and again. That looks real clean, I have found as long as a heavy roller is used after application it comes out real flat and adheres pretty good.

Personally I still love mopping or torching just because that's how I grew up but as everyone says, if it stands up then it is so much easier to install.

Good job on the install.>>>

What is keeping the water from entering around the stack? Caulking? Sorry, just... something seems awry.>>>

Vaaa.....You are spot on! This seemed like a nice product but very temperature sensitive. First off they told me not to install unless above 45-50 degrees, then once it got to be 65.....it was so soft and marking that we had to lay out the cardboard boxes just to finish the rolls by 11:30 AM.

I don't know how a guy could do this stuff in 90 degree weather, or even 80!! A big job would be almost impossible to do I would think. Have to have perfect weather for days and I dont know where that happens.>>>

Looks great, clean, neat...I just want to see how well it holds up. If it does, then it's a nice step forward in application. :)>>>

Vaaa....My roof was 38' wide and rolls were 34'.....so I had to seam every run. This picture is taken looking with seams instead of against seams but I was still very impressed with how well my seams glued down. They really stuck tight.

The one seam you can see in that middle picture just above the pipe was a boo-boo patch. One of my guys let the roll get a wrinkle, so I just cut the wrinkle out and then put like a 2' patch over it, rolled and sealed......hope that was the correct way!!

Thanks guys!>>>

I am not versed on the Liberty specs but the manuf. for the ones I have used (before GAF bought them up and deep-sixed them) limit the runs to a maximum of 18 foot sheet lengths so we have to position our cuts so they have sufficient offset and look orderly. The concern was shrinkage. I recommend you let it age awhile and then go back to inspect just to be on the safe side. They definitely yield up a clean-looking job.>>>

This was a 2 ply GAF Liberty SA Cap with MA Base. Shingles are Owens-Corning 30 Year Teak. This was my first time of installing this product. I liked this product but if I ever do another one it will be 3 ply.

Thanks to all you guys who gave me advice..I appreciated it! >>>

Warranty 15 yrs ? Why not go with 060 epdm? With deck is only $215 a sq. What did that run you? I have seen them flapping in the wind around here. Looks good, hope it lasts.>>>

Looks nice. SA? 30 Yr. Architectural?>>>
