Weather & Drying Guidelines
Ames’ Iron Coat is best applied between 50° to 90° F (10° to 32° C) on warm dry surfaces.
Apply when the streets are dry, the sun is in the sky and no inclement weather is
forecasted. Dries in 1-2 hours depending on thickness of application and weather; cures in
24 hours. Low temperatures, high humidity, or evening and morning dew will require
increased drying/curing time.
Cleanup, Storage & Disposal
Clean tools and small spills with water. Store unused product in its original can, tightly
sealed and protected from freezing. Dispose of this product in accordance with local, state,
or federal requirements.
Recommended Estimated Coverage
Standard product coverage on a smooth surface is 1 gallon per 100 sq. ft. (est. 10 mil
per coat). More than one coat recommended. More coats equal longer life.

The Solution:
Ames’ products will literally glue the building back together with liquid rubber and
acrylic coatings that will stretch with the roof. This will form an impenetrable seal that
also reflects up to 90% of the sun’s heat and thus will keep your roof cool during those
hot summers. Our products contain rubber and have better adhesion than cheap
coatings.
Ames’ Iron Coat has advantages that other coatings do not have. The cheap coatings
often do not have the nessessary adhesive power or the stretching ability and will soon
split, crack, peel or deteriorate. By using these inferior products, all too often your
investment is quickly lost.
How to do it:
1. Clean and Prepare the Roof
Read all label instructions before beginning. Always run a test patch first in an
inconspicuous area, to ensure that proper adhesion and drying occurs, and the product
works to your satisfaction. Make sure surfaces are clean and dry before the coating
application. Mask all sensitive areas before starting.
2. Seam Tape
Surfaces with joints, cracks, flashings, vents, parapet wall flashings or where two unlike
surfaces come together, require Peel & Stick Seam Tape to provides additional strength
and reinforcement.
The Results:
Using Ames’ Iron Coat Elastomeric reflective coating will out-perform anything on the
market today. Ames’ products have remarkable and forgiving bonding powers that will
literally glue the roof into one solid flexible piece.
Tools Needed:
For applying the material, a paint roller or a push broom may be used. Pour the coating
out and spread 1-2 gallons of product liberally with the push broom or roller. Work the
product until it is smooth and looks consistent in film thickness. Move on after a few
minutes so as not to have the product skin over or form a film which can create an
unintended texture in the coating’s finished appearance.
For bigger commercial applications, spray on with an airless paint sprayer. Graco Airless
paint sprayers work well. A recommended roof rig is the
Graco 833 or 533. Use a 3/8 inch, 150 ft. hose. Other units
such as Bulldog will also work well.
Have a large project? Order Ames’ Spray-grade in 275
gallon tote(s). One tote covers up to 27,000 sq. ft. per coat.
Two coats recommended.
Durability and Longevity:
Now the big question: How long will it last? Ames’ products
have been known to last as long as 20 years on a metal roof
that has been cleaned with proper roof maintenance and
then seam taped and coated with 3 gallons per 100 square
feet.
Roof life will depend upon how clean you keep the roof. It is beneficial to coat the roof
every five to ten years or so with a maintenance coat. Unlike most other coatings out
there, it is highly unlikely that your Ames’ Iron Coat will ever peel. This is rare and usually
only occurs if some unknown substance was already delaminating from the original roof.

WHAT IS AMES’ IRON COAT
Ames’ Iron Coat is industrial strength roof paint that is a thick, high quality rubber and
acrylic elastomeric roof coating especially formulated for metal. Designed for
waterproofing and maintaining commercial or residential metal roofs, as well as mobile
homes and RV roofs. It has a special affinity for metal with excellent bonding capabilities
over rust and oxidized aluminum.
Ames’ Iron Coat is easy to apply. Simply roll, brush or spray on to completely seal
troublesome leaks. It dries rapidly to form a cool white membrane that is up to 500%
elastic. This watertight roof membrane expands and contracts with the roof surface.
Ames’ Iron Coat stays cool and resists cracking or peeling. It reflects up to 90% of the
sun's rays to reduce roof temperature by as much as 120° F. Developed for cold and wet
weather.
It is formulated to resist to fungus, mold and mildew. Ames‘ Iron Coat remains flexible
from -30° to 150° F. Ames’ Iron Coat is a superior metal roof coating. Call our experts for
other roofing products.
THE PROBLEM:
A metal roofs leak can be caused by multiple reasons. The tremendous expansion and
contraction of the metal due to temperature variations; over time screws, nails and
attachment clips may loosen or even back out along with the seams on roof panels and
vents. Wind, rain and storm damage will contribute to these failures of a metal roof, as
well as causing movement of the metal panels. The hot sun deteriorates the neoprene
washers holding down the roof panels causing leaks.
Life expectancy: 10 - 20 years.
