nookandcranny Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Absolutely nothing? Ok, so aside from slopped-on tar being a beacon for home inspectors that screams "homeowner fix", I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what a bucket of tar could possibly be used for. Any ideas?

Nolan Kienitz Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 You got my attention ... but in Texas TAR = Texas Association of Realtors. TAR has the political clout in this state pretty much across all spectrums up to and including the Texas State Legislature and Government. Actually ... it could be the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 How about pitch pockets on a BUR? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sealing the edges of roll roofing on a shed. Then you put a dab on each exposed nail. [] But even on a shed, overlapping shingles do a much nicer job for not much more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well, There's plenty of uses for roofing mastic; like sealing the shingles to the sides of a valley, hand-sealing shingles when it's too cold for them to activate, daubing exposed fasteners, etc., but I think "tar" has pretty limited applications, no?

What I called "tar" is actually asphalt based roofing mastic.But that's the same goop that we see on homeowner patch jobs, so I thought that was what he was talking about. A bucket of real tar needs to be heated before you can use it. Then you could tar and feather somebody and run them out of town on a rail. You'd have to really dislike that person, I would think.

nookandcranny Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, I'm a girl, or at least last I checked. I did think of one thing: "tar and gravel" roofing. And that's actually tar, not mastic, right? Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
