A customer needs a fibered alum recoat on his bitumen roof. It us a duplex, roof is sound(i recoat it every few years). The neighbor sharing the roof overlaid TPO. The TPO is not bonding along the seperating joint and laps onto “my” roof. Will fibered fabric bedded in elastomeric cement(“muck n’ tape”) be sufficient? Am hesitant to add fasteners…more holes = more leak culprits. A 3-5 yr workmanship guarranttee maybe acceptable at this budget. I normally use Henry 552 cement.

TPO and Henry 552
shouldnt be used in the same sentence. There are very specific applications when TPO can be adhered to TPO but for the most part it is welded.
If you use tar, cut your guarantee till you pull out of the drive way.
