Hi Folks, Having lived in mobile homes for a considerable number of years I am very familiar with the aluminized tar roofing compound. It flat works *very* well. Be very careful not to get the roof coating which is white because it does not hold up anywhere nearly as well as the old fashioned black stuff.
The aluminized tar usually comes in a 5 gallon bucket and, yup, your correct, it will require a lot of vigerous stirring. I purchased a paddle which (supposedly) fits on a 3/8 drill but a ½ inch sure would be a lot better fit. I had a Sears best 3/8 inch ac drill which easily handeled the very heavy load without complaint and made the stirring project as easy as stirring a mixed drink. Coverage is pretty small and the claimed coverage is pretty blamed close to right on. When properly applied you will see a sort of silver sheen from the coating. It will weather off in a couple of years depending on what it is applied to. The hotter it gets when the coating is applied the better as it sure does improve the bonding.
