An effective and long lasting sealant for epdm roof

[Udhi]

Hi all,
We've made a mistake in not installing a foam seal between the epdm roof and the edging (forms a ridge along three sides of the garage roof to guide the water to find the gutter off a single edge of the roof).

I want to find a long lasting, flexible, uv resistant sealant to run a bead along the joint between the epdm roof and edging to stop the water from going under the edging strip.

Any IDEAS REALLY appreciated?

I regret weve done further sins on the workshop build. Standby to be further amused....

If you mean the kerb/upstands, you add them after the roof has beed laid.

Exactly. These upstands were laid after the epdm went down. But a pack of foam seal that ws supposed to go between tue upstand and roof was overlooked.

Now, there is a 3 or 4mm gap between them which will allow the water to go through and stain the walls or worse.

I was hoping to get a sealant and seal this gap?

They must have used the wrong trims, they come with the foam strip fixed.

If the gap isn't to big use black gutter sealant.

In this case the trims and foam came separate with instructions to put them together before installation (Permaroof). My loss.

Thanks v much for the reference, I will get my MIT's on gutter sealant. I can't remove the trims, so I slap on as much as possible on the joints.
