Product Description
Turbo Poly Seal: Important Information and Application Guide
Turbo Poly Seal is a thick, professional-grade urethane-asphalt sealant designed for repairing roof leaks, seams, flashing, cracks, and transitions. Its heavy consistency helps it remain in place on vertical and sloped surfaces.
For cracks, seams, and transitions, always reinforce the repair with Poly Fleece.
Best Uses
Turbo Poly Seal can be used for:
- Metal roof seams, screws, rusted areas, and panel transitions
- Torch-down and modified-bitumen roof seams
- Older, weathered TPO surfaces
- Roof-to-wall and roof-to-metal flashing
- Vent pipes, stove pipes, electrical conduits, and other penetrations
- A/C curbs and equipment curbs
- Parapet walls and metal cap seams
- Chimney caps and concrete crown cracks
- Gutter seams and pitch pockets
- Concrete, cement, brick, block, stucco, and wood cracks
- Areas exposed to ponding water after the repair has cured
Do Not Use Turbo Poly Seal On
Turbo Poly Seal is not recommended for:
- EPDM rubber roofing
- Glass or skylights
- Silicone caulking or silicone-coated surfaces
- Wet surfaces
- Certain plastics
- Full-roof coating applications
- Basement wall waterproofing
For EPDM roofs, glass, skylights, and full-roof coatings, use Super Silicone Seal instead.
Poly Fleece Is Essential
Always use Poly Fleece when repairing:
- Cracks
- Seams
- Gaps
- Flashing
- Joints
- Transitions between two different materials
Poly Fleece reinforces the repair and helps prevent movement from cracking or separating the sealant.
Fleece is generally unnecessary when covering an individual screw head or coating a small, smooth area without a crack or joint.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is the most important part of creating a lasting repair.
Before applying Turbo Poly Seal:
- Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry.
- Remove dirt, loose paint, rust, debris, oil, tar, and old caulking.
- Use a grinder with a stiff wire brush when necessary to remove rust, deteriorated coatings, caulk, and hardened tar.
- Remove all loose material that could separate from the roof.
- Wipe previously caulked or silicone-treated surfaces with lacquer thinner to remove residue.
- Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the sealant.
Even a thin, invisible layer of silicone can prevent Turbo Poly Seal from bonding properly.
Safety note: Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions when using grinders, wire brushes, lacquer thinner, or other solvents. Wear suitable eye protection, gloves, and respiratory protection, and keep solvents away from flames and ignition sources.
Applying Turbo Poly Seal
- Mask the repair area for clean, straight edges.
- Apply a generous first coat over the repair.
- Extend the coating approximately two inches beyond each side of the crack, seam, or transition.
- Embed Poly Fleece into the sealant while the first coat is still wet.
- Press the fleece into the coating and remove wrinkles or trapped air.
- Apply a second coat over the fleece until it is completely covered.
- Apply an additional coat if necessary after the previous layer has set.
Turbo Poly Seal cures in approximately 24 hours. Weather, temperature, humidity, and coating thickness can affect curing time.
Existing Tar and Asphalt Coatings
Turbo Poly Seal can adhere to asphalt and tar, but the repair will be only as strong as the material underneath.
- Remove tar that is dry, cracked, loose, or peeling.
- Do not apply over deteriorated caulk or unstable roof cement.
- After careful inspection, sound, firmly bonded asphalt or tar may remain.
- When in doubt, remove the old repair material and apply Turbo Poly Seal to a solid surface.
Aluminum Asphalt or Silver Coating
Turbo Poly Seal can bond to aluminum asphalt coating. However, the silver coating may separate from the roof surface underneath it.
Remove any loose, peeling, brittle, or poorly bonded coating before repairing. The condition of the underlying coating determines the strength of the finished repair.
Application Temperature
For best results, apply Turbo Poly Seal when the air and roof-surface temperatures are between approximately 25°F and 100°F.
Do not apply it to wet, frosted, or icy surfaces.
Coverage
Approximate coverage depends on the surface and the thickness of the application:
- Up to approximately 35 -40 linear feet on smoother seams and flashing
- Approximately 30 square feet on rough surfaces such as concrete chimney caps
Rough, uneven, porous, or badly deteriorated surfaces will require more material.
UV Protection
Turbo Poly Seal is not inherently UV protected. After it has cured, protect the completed repair with:
- Silver Coat aluminum asphalt coating, or
- A compatible exterior-grade latex or oil-based paint
Allow Turbo Poly Seal to cure for approximately 24 hours before applying the protective coating.
Storage After Opening
Exposure to air and moisture can cause a thick skin to form inside the container.
To extend storage life:
- Replace the lid immediately after use.
- Clean the lid and container rim before closing.
- Seal the container as tightly as possible.
- Store it upright in a dry, temperature-controlled location.
- Protect it from freezing, excessive heat, and moisture.
A skin may form on the surface during shipping or storage. This is normal and does not necessarily affect the usable material underneath it.
Cleanup
Clean tools and accidental spills before the sealant cures. Use asphalt and tar remover or lacquer thinner where appropriate.
Always test solvents on a small area first and follow all label safety instructions.
Shipping Information
- Turbo Poly Seal is sold online and is not available at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
- We currently cannot ship it to Canada, Hawaii, or Alaska.
- UPS normally collects orders on business days.
- Typical delivery time is approximately 2–4 business days after shipment.
- Metal containers may arrive dented because of carrier handling. A dented container usually does not affect the product if it remains sealed and not leaking.
Before Starting Your Repair
- Confirm that Turbo Poly Seal is compatible with the surface.
- Make sure the repair area is clean and completely dry.
- Remove loose or deteriorated repair materials.
- Use Poly Fleece over every crack, seam, gap, and transition.
- Protect the finished repair from UV exposure after it has cured.
- If you’re unsure about the roof material, contact us and send clear photographs before applying the product.
