Elastomeric paint





 The shed roof was painted with three layers of elastomeric paint.

And then we waited. The big rain eventually came and we identified one leak. Actually, I think the roof would have been fine except that the day before the rain Patrick cut some coconuts down and some landed on the shed roof with a big thud…and the roof being so old and rusted, it created a few little minute holes and hence the leak.

Yesterday we added some more layers specifically on this area. I’m hopeful!  But I’m also realistic that likely we will get leaks like this now and again, and will need to keep applying more paint when needed. I think I can live with that!

  1. You were able to get green "elastomeric" paint - or was it white for the inside of the shed roof rather than the outside?

    1. We took a flake of the old paint to strunk and color matched! So yes, we got green elastomeric paint!!
