Preparing Roof for Shingle Shield Application. Surface preparation before applying a sealer to the roof is extremely important. Ensure that the roof is free of active organic growth and or stains from mold or mildew on the shingles. The roof should be structurally sound and free of loose or deteriorated shingles. All damaged areas should be repaired prior to application. Repair or fill leaking areas with appropriate roof caulk or sealant.

CAUTION: Always ensure that you are using the proper gear and fall protection when on your roof. How Many Coats? The most important rule to remember is that less is more. A thin coat is all that is needed. It's recommended to apply the sealer in two thin coats with the first coat at a minimum of 300 sf/gal. Make sure the sealer doesn't puddle, or create excessive build ups.
