Terry,
Conklin makes a product that is easy to apply, very weather resistant and completely waterproof. It is called Rapid Roof. I believe it is latex based so gentle on we humans in the application. I had some friends that built a basement in Alaska hoping to add the second story the next building season. Well it stretched to 7 years and their flat roof with Rapid Roof held snow and water for the whole time. Never a penetration or leak and never had to be re-done. It had upwards of 3' of snow and ice on it every year and one of those years there was a sizable deposit of ash from Mt. Redoubt mixed in with no ill effects.

Subject: [papercreters] Need suggestions for waterproofing
Hi, we're in the process of making thinner block PC panels (3 inch thick) to cover the roof of our mobile home to help keep the sun from cooking us alive and tripling our electric bills (western arizona desert) and I need an inexpensive way to waterproof the panels. Since we do get some occasional t-storms during July/Aug with heavy downpours, without waterproofing they could absorb quite a bit of water which would add quite a bit of weight to our roof.
I checked the price of cool coating and it's a bit expensive. Any good suggestions? I was thinking of just coating the outsides of the panels but if there's something I can add to the mix so that the panels won't absorb rain water, that'd be even better.
Thanks!
Terry
