Answer This Question

Can I use to seal screw holes on metal roof
ByOct 13, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Bmack, you can use Henry 208R on a metal roof but the best one to use on metal is Henry 209XR because it has the highest percentage of rubber of all our Wet Patch leak stoppers. This is important because of the way that metal heats and cools throughout the days and nights.

    Can I apply this while it is raining outside? Because a small part of my roof is leaking through the inside of the house we got buckets & I just need to temporarily stop this for the next 3 days that’s it’s going to non stop rain. Thank you

    Answer This Question

    Homeowner, you can apply Henry 208R in the rain or even underwater. For best results you should do a 3-course patch which is illustrated on the can label.

          Answer This Question

          JG61, Henry 208R does not set up fast. In fact, it takes about 30 days to completely cure. You do not need to worry about it setting up quickly while you are applying it.

            Would this work to patch a leak inside of a metal livestock water trough?
            BySep 9, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Reggie, we would not recommend using Henry 208R on the inside of a metal livestock water trough since it contains very aggressive solvents. You could use Henry 900 if you apply it to a dry surface and let it cure for at least 24 hours.

                I have been using Henry’s on the foundation outside of house to seal cracks. This lasts for several years and has stopped any rainwater from coming in.

                Purchased Henry 208R rubberized wet patch black roof leak repair sealant caulk to repair a crack in tar on roof causing leaks. Fortunately did it right before rain storm and so far has stopped wake. May update later if result changes. For now content with product.

                That is exactly what Henry 208R is designed to do...stop a leak instantly in all kinds of weather. Glad to hear that you didn't have to get on your roof while it was raining but even if you have to repair the leak in cold, or wet weather you can do it with Henry 208R. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

                5 stars is what we always want to see when you use a Henry product. Henry 208R is great for stopping leaks in all weather conditions - even in driving rain. You can apply Henry 208R at zero degrees and even in standing water. The best part is that Henry 208R has a 10 year warranty. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.
                This sealant did not seal a minor 1/4 inch hole under a shingle during a rain event. It was applied during a dry period to the small hole and the surronding shingle. Once the light rain started again about an hour later, the leak continued. I have used this in the past to help pre-seal roof vent caps as recommended by Fine Homebuilding publication and hope it will provide the stated protection when needed.

                With a hole the size of a 1/4" it is necessary to apply Henry in the 3-course patch method as illustrated on the can or tube label. Roofs experience movement during the day and night caused by temperature changes. This movement will open the repair unless the recommended fabric is embedded into the Henry 208R and covered again with 208R. The process here is similar to the tape used in sheetrock joints, (mud, tape, mud).

                Henry 208R is a great product to repair leaks on roofs, parapet walls and even chimneys. Henry 208R can be applied at zero degree, in driving rain or in areas of ponding water on the roof. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

                Ship the product in the can, not in the box

                Dear ponderer, it is truly unfortunate and we apologize that the can of Henry 208R spilled into the box. Unfortunately we do not control the shipping or delivery of Henry products from the Home Depot. Please contact your local Home Depot and let them know about your issue. Thank you for your comments and for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

                  Pay more, get less
                  I have used Henry products for years, but never used their "10-year" Wet Patch. Thought I'd fork over a few extra dollars and try it. Upon opening the lid I discovered I'd paid more and received less (see photo). Disappointed...

                  7thgencarpenter, we certainly apologize for this problem. We are not able to view the photo on this platform so unfortunately we cannot exactly tell what the problem was. All of our cans of 208, 208R and 209XR are supposed to contain 0.90 gallons or more of product, if there was a can with less content than that we encourage you to please reach out to us directly at productsupport@henry.com or jszymanski@henry.com so that we can investigate this matter. Thank you for your comments and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

                    Still having issues with the roof. I had hoped the patch applied in the valley would have prevented future leaks. We’ve had heavy rain recently and the roof is still leaking. I’ll need to research further to determine the real cause of the leak

                    Finding a leak is usually a difficult proposition. Since the roof is pitched your best option is to get into the attic and see if you can spot a water trail on a truss or an electrical conduit. You can then trace the leak back to its origin and approximately where it is located on the roof. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

                    Good Products, but make sure to pick up yourself
                    This products is very reliable and easy to use. But HomeDepot used OnTruck for delivery and the can was broken opened inside of the cardboard HomeDepot box and the black tar all over. Un-usable and Un-touchable.

                    Yama, we hope that you did not accept delivery or that you were able to return the Henry 208 to the nearest Home Depot for another bucket. Unfortunately products an get damaged in transit and need to be replaced. Thank you for your comments.

                      NanCH, sorry to hear of your experience. Not sure of your project, but a correct roof patching project would consist of using a layer of Wet Patch, followed by embedding a layer of repair fabric into the cement followed by another layer of Wet Patch. If the item was defective, I'd encourage you to return it to the Home Depot and reach out to our product support team at 800-486-1278.
