@MJNewton how's the Desmopol standing up?

 

Yeah, all good as far as I know! It's been down five years now (where does the time go?!).

Thanks. So reading back there's no joint tapes at rooflight upstands, where it meets a wall etc? (Like you would use if tanking a wet room). It relies on the inherent flexibility of the paint? 

 

But the joints between boards have matting laid down first.

It should be the same matting on all joins - both surface and upstands etc. For the upstands and wall abutment our roofer put down some pre-formed bends (of rigid fibreglass?) too but I think that was as an alternative to wooden angle fillets that you might normally see. I don't know if there's a benefit to this (e.g. more gradual angle transition) or whether it was just quicker/easier for him (probably the latter knowing him).
