Silver Flash is a cold-applied, silver trowel-grade mastic designed for three-course flashings, patching, and leak repair applications. It is formulated with a premium oxidized asphalt base, a high-quality premium leafing silver aluminum paste, fibers, and thixotropic additives that impart a brilliant finish and vertical sag resistance. Silver Flash can be used with any asphalt roofing system to rebuild or maintain flashings and repair holes, splits, or blisters on the roof surface. Not recommended for use when there is a 40% chance of rain in the forecast.

Trowel | Silver Flash is a ready to use as is from the container. In cold weather, store at room temperature to ensure workability. Silver Flash should be applied to clean dry surfaces to achieve full adhesion. To prevent browning out of the material, use a clean trowel that has not been contaminated with regular asphaltic mastic. For best results, trowel a base coat of Silver Flash over the area to be repaired. Embed Gar- Mesh into the base coat and then top dress with an additional layer of Silver Flash. The top coat should be sufficiently thick so that the Gar-Mesh is fully embedded to achieve a complete seal. |

Silver Flash delivers a finished product on application eliminating the need to come back to aluminize black asphalt mastic and flashings after 30 days. This provides the building owner with a one-step application, which saves building owners and contractors time and money.
Unlike traditional mastics, Silver Flash is silver right out of the pail and, when applied, turns a brilliant silver color, reflecting UV rays away from the application.
Silver Flash is a multi-purpose material ideal for rebuilding or maintaining flashings and repairing holes, splits, or blisters in asphalt-based roof systems.
