House is 100yrs old; not original roof, but old tin in decent shape. I pulled loose nails [replaced w/washeredscrews], flashed chimneys, patched holes, and recoated with Black Jack fibered aluminum roof coating over 15 yrs ago; It's time to re-do! Since it did a good job last time, I've looked for same, but cannot find the same product/BlackJack 5167. Our local Lowe's has "Silver Dollar" fibered aluminum roof coating, but how do I know if it's good enuf? [$42/5gal]. Plus, the roof is leaking!!! and when I get up there canNoT find anything that looks suspiciously like the culprit. Have been in the attic, tho not while it's raining...[the only true test time]; still, all indications are that the leak comes from the ridge cap or close to it. But up on the roof, it looks solid in this area. Any suggestions? If you know of a site that rates or reviews roof coatings [other than selling them], I would appreciate being apprised of same. Again, what's the best fibered aluminum coating?
