Can I apply Black Jack coatings or cements if it will rain soon?

BLACK JACK® All-Weather Roof Cement is a pliable asphalt roof cement that can be used on damp as well as dry surfaces.

What effect does ponded water have on aluminum roof coatings?

Aluminum coatings do not perform well on roofs that pond water. Dirt can accumulate in depressions and inhibit the reflectance of the coating. If an aluminum coating is under water for a prolonged period of time, the water may work its way under the coating causing it to peel. Positive drainage is needed to flush away surface dirt and retain the reflective properties of the aluminum coating.

What factors can reduce the reflectivity and long-term durability of aluminum coatings?

Before Application: Poor Drainage, poor surface preparation, or improper mixing.I'm putting up a shed this week. In the past I've nailed the roofing felt to the roof as recommended and instructed in the manual.
