Roof Leaks

75 Marshfield
Northern MN - Snow/Ice
Getting close to 70, kind of tired of going up there.
It might be just me but this water based stuff just doesn't work
near as good as the old asbestos sealers. Also, water based does
zilch for rust. Luckily I only have a few small spots of light rust
I'll sand and coat with 555.
So, I'm thinking of putting Henry 201 Fibered Asphalt Roof Coat around
the outside edges. Once that is cured a couple months (if the snow waits)
I'll top that with Henry 555 Aluminum Roof Coating, couple coats.
Then for the small seams going across the roof I'll just use the 555.
Finding this site I read about 5 pages and noticed, maybe your Admin, mentioned
liquid rubber (?). Well, after reading up on that it just seems too much.
Same goes for elastomeric and silicone sealers, a LOT of work for my age.
Also thinking about taking a stiff putty knife and removing the many coats of
stuff around the edges - lots of work there too if it will even come off.
I'd sure appreciate any comments, pro or con.
Thanks - winter is right around the corner.
