What appeared to be a spray on application was installed directly over asphalt composition shingles. While I know the owners did this to prevent having to replace the shingles but I'm curious as to the cons of this application concerning the added weight and difficulty of removing the covering?
The material was sprayed not only on the shingles but on the corners in an attempt to create a flashing. Vince Santos

Hey Dale, thanks for the link!
The coating was smooth and looked wet with no reflective granules. It was definitely liquid rubber. Vince Santos
