I have used those in my construction career. They stick like glue to the roof. Saved my butt a few times.

Great idea. May have to go buy one now.

Don't buy one it will cost you a fortune. The price of foam is stupid. Go to the dump or when you pass an old couch snatch one out.

And your right you do stick like glue. I use it on half my roofs.
