I did manage to apply it in the rain but not quite as easily as suggested and so far it does seem to be working 🤞🙏👍😁 When the roof dries out properly and it's a bit warmer I will give it another coat to ride me over until the end of the season but for now I'll just keep my fingers crossed 🤞🤞
Thanks for the continued support and advice guys 😁
Trev do not forget when gets hot the birds if they land on it will get sticky as it sort of melts in the heat, see if you can find some plastic, old felt or something to drop over it until you can repair roof

I should really have got out there yesterday to give it a second layer as I thought this could possibly happen and the instructions did say that further coats may be required once the first coat is completely dry.
I did find out that it peels straight off again if you try to brush over it more than once 😬😬
Have a look for a tarpaulin mate solve all problems in one go
