What type of equipment is commonly used for the detail work of a flood coat?

The use of hand equipment such as pouring cans for detail work of a flood coat is highly effective due to the nature of the application process involved in built-up roofing systems. Flood coats are designed to provide a protective layer over the roofing surface, ensuring that the material adheres well to the substrate and fills in any imperfections or details.

Using pouring cans allows for precise application, making it easier to control the amount of material being used in specific areas requiring attention, such as seams or flashing. This level of control is vital for ensuring that the flood coat is applied evenly and adequately covers vulnerable areas to prevent leaks and enhance the longevity of the roofing system.

Automated spray equipment might be suitable for larger applications, but it may lack the precision required for detail work, while heavy machinery and trucks are generally not used in the close-range application needed for flood coats. Lift equipment could assist with access but does not directly contribute to the application process. Therefore, hand equipment like pouring cans is the preferred choice for executing detailed work efficiently and effectively.
