how to install GRP fibreglass flat roof tutorial part 2
Right folks, it's time to mix some resin. There's loads of instructions
which you can find out on the online somewhere. I'll try and leave some instructions in the
description box because there's catalysts and chemicals and different temperatures,
different ratios and stuff like that. But for starters we're just going to mix a litre
and we're going to put 30ml of catalyst in just to get the bandages sorted out first.
A thousand millilitres. CSM.
That's all the bandages on the joints. That's time to dry now around,
it'll be off in 20 minutes, 10 minutes. 100g to 5kg of resin, that's 2% mixture.
I feel like I'm re-oiling a car. Go on lad.
Right, as soon as I put this catalyst in, it's let's get ready to rumble.
Give it a stir and we're ready to go.
Right folks, we're on the final day and it's the day we're going to put some top coat on
to finish the roof. Right, now we're going to mask and tape all these edges so it doesn't
go on the fascia or drip down onto the cladding. We're all prepared now and we're ready to make
our first mix of top coat. So here's our top coat guys and it's the same again with the
catalyst ratio. We're going to do 2% so 5 litres and that's 100ml. But first of all we're going to
mix only 1 litre because we're going to do some cutting in and stuff like that so we don't need
a lot yet. So we're just going to mix 1 litre and then we'll get going with the trims and stuff
like that on the edges.
We'll be reaching paradise.
Right guys, that's all the cutting in done, all the edges and the trims sorted now.
I'm going to go down and mix the main batch now, 5 litres
with again 2% of catalyst and then we're going to finish the roof.
Right folks, we're going to let that dry for 30 minutes. So you've guessed it,
off to Boeing's buy shop we go. We're obsessed.
So we're really being looked after here at this job by Phyllis and Stan, lovely people.
Your medicine, no fear, no doubt. I know a place, let's sneak away,
leave the pain, I'll stay. With you, you, let me hold you, close your eyes,
we'll be reaching paradise. Right, we better get moving.
Two rollers needed, let's roll. Excuse the pump.
I'll just give you an indication of how fast and how good that top coat is heading the tray.
Look at it, how good is that? And it's like proper rubberised as well.
So durable, nothing's getting through that. That's awesome.
We're just getting these raw tiles sorted now, putting all these tiles back.
We've just had to trim the bottom of this tile off,
but it's still soft, just to get it matching the existing roof.
I'm gonna point all them back up now.
