Preventing rust: "We recently had a contractor quoted in the local paper ..." - Guest User (5/9/2006) | Rust | Archive

We recently had a contractor quoted in the local paper a saying that you can apply an acrylic latex sealant on a newly installed steel shingle roof system and that it will prevent rusting at the cuts. The sealant is said to last up to 40 years. I am a roofing contractor, I have installed many a metal roof. But, I have never heard of any thing like this. Fact or Fiction? Please respond, Thank You.

Sounnds like we'd better call MythBusters. I have been involved in manufacturing metal roof shingles for 25 years and have never heard of this, and I do not see the need for it.
