Great job! I’m getting my roof done soon and looking at your work as an example of what I want to see. Did you heat and embed the lengthwise lap joint (Paint it Black 😂) like you did the end lap for better adhesion? Thanks
You call this 'flawless' ? And may I ask how many years of experience you got doing torching? And of course if you could name the place where you learned doing torch end laps with camp fire iron. I can't wait to hear from you.
Without a shadow of a doubt this is the finest video of its kind. Uniform speed and precision and thorough dedication to the bonding. Love the tool. Not seen one in the U.K.
Thank you very much for the kind words! The tool is literally a 2x4 with a handle! Very easy to make on the go... just make sure you keep it wet... we keep ours in a plastic bucket with a bit of water so it doesn't stick when you press to your warm cap. Happy roofing! 🤘🏼😎
Without a shadow of a doubt this is the finest video of its kind. Uniform speed and precision and thorough dedication to the bonding. Love the tool. Not seen one in the U.K.
You should have minimum 6” degranulation on over lap. All that work with 2x4 can be done just as well or better with trowel. In my opinion looks good and consistent bleed out on cap sheet end but doesn’t look like other side is completely welded consistently to the end.
never heard of rounding corners on sbs... on epdm forsure 100% but on torch-on sbs we just cut the corner on a 45 degree angle on the "meat" of your lap. Manufacturers specification 🤙🏼
Nice job! This is one of the best videos on the application of APP membranes. The video gives complete details right from the cleaning of site, application of Primer, Fixing of APP sheets with hot torch method & finishing with siliver paint.
i bet it's stuck but are you sure you are applying enough heat throughout the enire roll and not just the lap? seems a little quick. try preheating the lap a few feet behind you as well it may give a slightly more pronounced bleed out.
Excellent work, I congratulate you, friend. I am Venezuelan. I have 25 years of experience. I am at your service. If there is a lot of demand for work, take care of yourself and be active in your work, which gives you an excellent plus.
Roller does the trick too, I just don't like the roller marks or indentations it can make... The wood block allows you to press like a mfer and still have a nice even look to the lap
This is the best way to do torch not the scab way by walking on your cap sheet or your field sheet while torching. This is way better than displacement, this is what you will learn in the Union. This is not what you learn from a non-union shop. Which is what we call a SCAB roofer….. Go United Brothers of Roofers & Waterproofers Local 54 Seattle WA.
Why 2 layers and not just one layer ? I see a smooth layer and an asphalt layer. Assuming the asphalt granules protect the bitumen from the sun, but could you just go with just the granule layer only? Or is having the first smooth layer double protection? Also if I’m doing this over bare concrete, of course with a primer, should I just do the smooth layer? Or smooth layer plus asphalt layer. We would cover the layer(s) with rocks at the end
This is 2-ply SBS torch on application. Never heard of roll bars? We pull backwards with our pull cane as we evenly torch weld the base membrane and the cap sheet membrane together. I know application specs can vary country to country so for reference I am in Canada. We follow all manufacturers installation specifications. Also don't know what the white mineral is... I'm assuming the color of the cap sheet? They come in all different colors, the most typical being Grey, as seen here, black or light black. Thanks for your comment!
i saw the iko hoodie but is that soprema or Iko cap? i've never tried the sponge, i gotta try it though it seems like a good idea. I see lots of guys just use the puller but i sometimes use a rubber roller to push out bleeds and it seems to work pretty good too. great job though looks pretty good.
He even has the Proper self made torch stand with a bolt, a chain link and 2 pieces of aluminum bent just right. I use to make these for all of my Roofer buddies and I would sell them for $10 each. They would last a lot longer than the flimsy pieces of thin brass stands. I also made torch Canes, very easy to make.
How long does this type of roofing last, and does anyone offer a high end material to compete with shingles, or is this strictly low pitch? Looks bullet proof
@@sevensages5279 strictly? Guessing the reason is people dont want that look on their house, but looks fine to me and would make taxes cheaper and never blow off.. Who in your opinion makes the most durable and heavy stuff? Thanks
Epdm (synthetic rubber) is one of the most durable and economical(lasts up to 50yrs) roofing systems. Carlisle SynTec Systems is a manufacturer of all those type of roofing materials- Epdm Pvc and Tpo. All for flat roof applications!
It's a lifetime roof, so 25-30 years manufacturer warranty. It can compete with shingles but can be difficult to apply on steeper slopes for sure. Id say a direct competitor for shingles would be a metal roof. They are definitely gaining popularity here!
Looks a good job. I have been doing it like that for 39 years although always taught to cross lay the layers for strength as the polyester carrier runs longways through the roll. Not criticising just an observation.
Cross lay totally unnecessary but offset is. First layer only half size, no? With your 39 years you were doing side lap seems without bleed out and pressure applied?????
Sweet rippins man!! Got the chilly snow covered background n shit miss them days!! Killer time to run hot or to be torching as long as she’s above 52 degrees is that still code? I roofed for 20yrs up in Greater Seattle area union non union wherever the big bucks were! On all them big jobs inspectors watching for days😅checking kettle temps, monitoring outside temps etc. Big jobs up there I remember that shit fort warden, whidbey naval, prisons, schools on all the big flat roofs built up or not them inspectors was a watching!! Good workmanship keep it alive
Hell ya dude! Im in the Okanagan now but roofed in much colder conditions when I was in Calgary... The only thing that sucks in cold weather is its harder to get pressure for our torches so definitely everything slows down. Heat blankets around the propane tanks help for sure! Thanks for the comment! Roof on good sir!
I see guys use rollers, the wood block i think is just faster and covers more ground... Doesnt leave roller marks on the cap. Its a great tool let me tell ya!
Helps give a better bond on the lap. So that the seal is to the 2 pieces not just the one. Also helps reduce buildup. I think mainly it's to make a better seal on that T-lap...
need to do my roof, drain blocked, flooded and it sagged now in centre big time, can i just sit on some osb board where its sagging and refelt it, with a mitre on edge of board, or is say multiple layers of felt better.
@@thetrahanman I did then uncalled them after the ridiculous quote,, I’m a joiner and roofer so the sag I can sort if I really have to, it’s about 15-20mm deep water sitting, I don’t really wanna rip it off and open a can of worms if I can just stop the majority of water pooling in centre for now, cheaply.
OK, OK I see I thought u were playing... I mean any filler would work, plywood, osb, even ridgid insulation... then roof that in to keep water out of that area... yup sounds like a plan to me
سلام . این ایزوگام کردن هیچ فایده ای ندارد برای صاحب خونه. چون اولا باید بیشتر داغ بشه ایزوگام . و بعدم پشت رول حرکت کنی که پا بخوره که خوب بچسپه. و اون پنج سانتی که میره رو اون ایزوگام باید پای اون ایزوگام پا بخوره .. و آخرین نکته که باید بند های ایزوگام پرس کنی که هیچ وقت آب زیر ایزوگام نره
I push down my end laps so they stick but I always get an 1/8 to 1/4" bleedout on my side laps just from the weight of the roll and I push down with my cane. Thanks for watching! 😊
Fire extinguisher was like 10' away and i dont know about a roller bar. Here in Canada this is how its done. Torch weld the cap to the base while pulling with pull cane. The weight of the roll pushes the two membranes together and pushes out the bleedout at the seam. When you get to the end of the roll you have to push down with your cane to get a better bond and push out the bleedout. Happy roofing!
I wouldn't say that's necessary. As long as you have a roofer involved in the installation you should be fine. I've seen many different installation methods out there and they aren't all fantastic... buyer beware!
@@superbad0415 well this system is a 2ply sbs membrane. Consists of the black layer (base) either mechanically fastened or fully torched to approved substrate followed by a cap membrane which is the same as the base just with granules attached to the top sheet. I wouldn't recommend having gravel on the roof if that can be avoided
quick question about your preference for under torching instead of over torching and walking on the cap sheet?... i'm trying to decide for myself which way to do it
it's just how I was taught from the beginning... not sure where you are from but everyone I have ever known roofing walks backwards when torching field. Definately not as safe as walking on your cap but if you are aware of your surroundings and you have a safety railing installed, walking on base is definately better in my opinion. Sometimes I will see guys walk on the cap sheet when they have nowhere else to go, like end of a roll in a corner and when it's hot and you are fully torching your stuff properly you will almost always muck up your cap sheet by walking on it... (in summertime conditions anyways) in the end its all up to what is most comfortable for you and what gives you the best results! Happy roofing! thanks for your comment!
@@thetrahanman funny you say that, because i was just torching today for the first time in a long while, and i did it walking on the cap sheet, i had 2 types one thicker but with sand and one just a littler thinner but covered in black granules and i torch walked on the black one it went smooth as hell and nearly no damage at all (and i'm heavey 220+) but that was not possible at all with the sanded one, that one marked instantly even being a little thicker... those granules really save the day
True, i use trowel sometimes, the wood block makes it easier to get a nice bleedout everywhere and to not mark the cap. Inspectors really like it too because you can push your lap with more area and pressure than you could with a trowel
No sir, a base membrane is mechanically fastened on the laps and perimeter, laps are torch sealed and then the cap sheet gets fully torched to the base membrane
It's maxed out... I'd have to check to see what it says but it's maxed out... just a cold day, tanks weren't giving me much pressure.... I'll do another one in the summer and yall will be amazed at the difference
@@thetrahanman ya I mess around with mine sometimes depending if I'm using a full tank (60 or 100 pounder) or not. I'm in Ontario but you and I are alike. I produce the nicest torch work at the company I work for and do everything by the soprema courses I've gone to (for warrantied jobs). Nice to see other people that actually take pride in doing their job correctly but also nearly as well. Props to you brother!
I thought that too but it does not matter. His work pretty low quality, demonstrate little experience, after three minutes becomes something painful to watch for a real pro.
I watched one of his videos, seems competent enough... I would have some constructive criticism for him but there are many techniques I've seen in my years roofing and doesn't make one better than the other, whatever works best for you to get a great roof is what I say!
@thetrahanman wsib said I win. 7 m9nths back pay, all my re hab paid. Full time job in the office at same rate. I make more then my manager and won't be back on the roof till I'm 100 percent. Honestly, I'm 100 percent now, just playing the game.
Yeah after 50 videos of morons doing hack jobs without enough heat or bleed out, this guy has it right. I like to heat the top of the roll and a little more heat on the selvage edge, but this guy is hired!
@thetrahanman applied over standard base sheet or straight to deck. We have been using a two ply system peel and stick base with a torch cap and it seals great. But I'd like a thicker base layer seems this is the way ti go..do a video applying base brother
where are you from good sir? had lots of people comment about me walking backwards but that's the only way I've seen it done here in Canada lol! Thanks for the nice comment and the feedback!
@@thetrahanman I'm in Washington State. Been doing torch down since 1985. Done a lot of government jobs, such as retirement homes all over the U.S. Not to brag but they have some siriose inspectors.

Sorry this doesnt make sense to me. This is installed EXACTLY to manufacturer specifications. Maybe you are used to using another product, or maybe your just doing it wrong?

Great job! Did you do the side overlaps the same way?
Also is the blackening of end and side laps recommended for APP as well? Thanks
Side laps are already black... The end laps need to have granules embedded to ensure a strong bond. Thanks for watching!
This boy is dialed in. Everyone I've seen installed, the operator walked on the product. Too much bleed and boot prints.
Great workmanship
Thank you! 😊
you can walk on app he was torching sbs ,apples and oranges.
damm how much propane did you use?
We run off of 100lb tanks usually and can burn through them pretty quick of there's lots of field to torch or drying up every morning lol
Capsheet should be laid over the underlay as a 50/50 split to protect the underlay lap
This doesnt make sense to me. Definitely refer to the manufacturer specifications before you apply any product!
Pretty good. I'd hit the overlap with a little more heat. Sprinkle some granules on the run out 👌
It is not a question of little or more heat, it is the question of PROPER heat and pressure of which this torcher has no clue about !
Good job you need to show the roof doc how to do it tidy
Hey, thank you!!

Lol i can assure you, its dry
I thought that too but it does not matter. His work pretty low quality, demonstrate little experience, after three minutes becomes something painful to watch for a real pro.
@@kirksink6002 1000% was not wet lol
@@gusmarokity6482 ouch! I respectfully disagree, but appreciate your comment. What would you have done better?
Good job defenly
Thank you!

How much salery?
good
Thanks
nice torch video but check out capmandu video of the old timer installing torch down ( best i've ever seen on utube ) ....
I watched one of his videos, seems competent enough... I would have some constructive criticism for him but there are many techniques I've seen in my years roofing and doesn't make one better than the other, whatever works best for you to get a great roof is what I say!
Nice
Thanks
Hows the roof game treating you?
Has its ups and downs haha
Just had 2 bulge disk and a herneated disk surgery, not the same anymore. Can't roof no more.
20 years of hard work 💪.
Need blood donation. Call j9 manso at local 30 to donate

@thetrahanman wsib said I win. 7 m9nths back pay, all my re hab paid. Full time job in the office at same rate. I make more then my manager and won't be back on the roof till I'm 100 percent. Honestly, I'm 100 percent now, just playing the game.
👍
Yeah after 50 videos of morons doing hack jobs without enough heat or bleed out, this guy has it right. I like to heat the top of the roll and a little more heat on the selvage edge, but this guy is hired!
Thanks! 🤘🏼😎
Buenas tardes soy de Cuba, pueden ayudarme a comprar rollos de manta autoprotegida para trabajar aca, tengo necesidad de comprar?
How many cost this material?
About $100/roll Canadian dollars
@@thetrahanman 50$ cost in Russia.
Need to put another material under this Sbs or you just can put on top of old let say ice and water shield
In insulated roof systems yes. On this system the insulation is under the roof deck so our base membrane gets fastened directly to the deck
Practice makes perfect and this guy definitely had enough of practice for sure !
thank you!
My Friend Where Are You Located ???
What Is The Brand Of Your Torch ???
Good Job.
Amén.
I'm in British Columbia, Canada! I use a Sievert Torch for field and a Magnum for detail 🤘🏼
What was the mistake?
there was one spot where there was not a 12" stagger from base lap to field cap... oops!

I work for someone so not sure what they charge sorry
If i win wsib is a permanent job in the office, if i lose im on my ass.
Fingers crossed for ya dude! 🤞🏽
What base sheet is that?
IKO torchflex 180
@thetrahanman applied over standard base sheet or straight to deck. We have been using a two ply system peel and stick base with a torch cap and it seals great. But I'd like a thicker base layer seems this is the way ti go..do a video applying base brother
We installed asphalt board over the deck area and fully torched the base sheet to that. More expensive but nicer in the long run
@@thetrahanman awesome!
Nice work, nice even bleed out. Just strange to see a torcher work backwards. Better be aware of the edge.
where are you from good sir? had lots of people comment about me walking backwards but that's the only way I've seen it done here in Canada lol! Thanks for the nice comment and the feedback!
@@thetrahanman I'm in Washington State. Been doing torch down since 1985. Done a lot of government jobs, such as retirement homes all over the U.S. Not to brag but they have some siriose inspectors. Never got less then a score of 98 out of 100. Like me I see you take pride in your work. That's a rare comodaty in roofing. You just keep doing what you do. No need to change. I would have loved to have you on my crew. Watch that edge now.😅😅
That’s what she said😂
GRANULE MAAAAAN!!!!!!!!
Not at all your all divs your supposed to put each layer other way 1 vertical next one horizontal not the same way bad roofing sorry so simple
Sorry this doesnt make sense to me. This is installed EXACTLY to manufacturer specifications. Maybe you are used to using another product, or maybe your just doing it wrong?
Где вытек?
No leaks!
🍀☘️🌟⭐🌟⭐⭐👍
thanks!
Beautiful torching just not a fan of iko lmao
Flintlastic is my favorite I've found.
Thank you! They definately have their pros and cons... both suppliers have been pumping out a ton of trash as of late to be honest
Bravo
thanks 😊
Not entirely correct way. Several spots where it could be a problem later in some of the corners wgen finishing a roll
I dont think so. Thanks for the view and comment tho! 😁
Fatal mucho q aprende quemar el granillo del traslaspe cortas esquinas quemar más despacio el rrollo
Fachlich zu 100% falsch gemacht. 7. cm muss die Überlappung nach Norm sein.
Perhaps the side lap? The end lap is 6" here in Canada. Maybe different standards for different material? Different countries?
Is this for experience people it looks way easier. Than Putin singles down
I would say they both take skill, looks easy but it's all about consistent heat and the right amount of heat. Not too much and not too little
