Don't forget to include the verse:

"Whaaan it rains... it pooors"

- Be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. - Work slowly. - Refer all matters to committees for "further study and consideration. - Hold conferences. - Make travel as inconvenient as possible. - Haggle over precise wordings of communications. - Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and avoid haste.

Good thing Home Depot stocks Rainout! You can actually apply Rainout as it's pouring down rain, and have a good chance of sealing.

Henry's wet patch tar emulsion?

Sorry, I meant Henry's. That's the stuff that looks like black tar. I worked at a truck repair shop doing fleet maintenance for many years. We also had a paint and body shop with a 60+ foot spray booth, where they fit a 60 foot freight trailer. We ran lots of service calls. Our trailer guy tried all kinds of products. The freight companies would load a trailer, then, being Seattle, the rain would come, and they'd see they had leaks. They'd call us in a panic, not wanting to unload, and, we'd send Charlie over to fix it. We had tried Rainout, Vulken Sealer, and then, Henry's. Charlie would, if the holes were large, cut a new roof tin patch, and rivet it on with sealer. If it didn't require a patch, he would use Henry's on it. Henry's was the only sealer that you had a good chance of it sticking, and sealing a leak, in a driving rain.

I've used Henry's here on our roof too. And, in a pouring rain. It works, if you can cover the metal roof where the leak is. In our case, it was a bathroom vent pcv pipe. I knew the leak was from somewhere around the base of that pcv vent pipe, but didn't know exactly where. So, I coated all around the base of that pipe, and got lucky and stopped the leak.
Right after we moved here I bought a one gallon can of Henry's. It finally dried out. When I went to buy some more, they only had it in caulking tubes. This, at Home Depot.

Everyone welcome to go up on roof when lightning and wet.

To Henry's sales advantage, they put the goop in a cardboard tube. If you have not placed it in the sun, or warmed it by a fire, the viscosity is so thick you can bust the tube like a poppin fresh biscuit can with your caulking gun, so be careful!
