Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review regarding DAP Roof Waterproof Asphalt Filler & Sealant. In order to properly dispense this product, the "inner foil seal" must be punctured. If this foil seal is not properly punctured or the nozzle opening is cut too a very narrow diameter, it will create a too narrow of a restriction for the product to flow (without the use of excessive force). If the burst strength of the package is exceeded, product may leak from the rear of the cartridge (plunger). This is a fail-safe designed to prevent the cartridge wall from rupturing. This condition can also occur if the product has thickened due to exceeding its shelf life or if dried material is physically blocking the nozzle (between initial use/re-use attempts). Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477. DAP

    The product in the tube seems to be adequate for most jobs. The problem is getting the product out of the tube without the seal on the plunger leaking all over a brand new $18 caulking gun. This problem with the seal giving way and having the asphalt-based gooey black sealant leak out the back isn't limited to a tube here and there. Out of 5 tubes, 3 leaked and had to be thrown away with most of the sealant left all over the inside of the tube and my gun. As you can see in the pictures below, the application tube was cut to nearly full diameter and numerous holes were make in the seal. There are real problems with the tubes/plunger seals. I wish DAP would replace my new caulking gun... For now, I will try and clean things up with Mineral Spirits.

      I had to press on the gun so hard to get any product out, this made it so hard to do the job right. I wouldn't buy it again.

      Thank you for posting your feedback. we are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Blacktop Roof Sealant. When excessive force is required to apply the sealant, it is often a signal that the product is aged/beyond shelf. All of DAP's various sized "cartridge" formulas should only require moderate hand squeezing action for application (when using a good quality caulking gun). The amount of force you appear to be describing, would appear to be excessive. life. Likewise, application through a restricted nozzle tip opening and/or failure to properly puncture the cartridge's inner foil seal can also result in application difficulty.

      The tube of roofing sealant I purchased was apparently old and would not flow. I destroyed my caulking gun trying to squeeze it out. My opinion of the product is worse than bad.

      Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Blacktop Roof Sealant. All of DAP's various sized "cartridge tubes" should only require moderate hand squeezing action for application. Based on your description of the difficulty encountered while attempting to apply the product, it would appear that you may have purchased aged product (newly purchased may not necessarily be of recent manufacture). Likewise, attempting to apply thick paste-like fillers through too narrow of a tip opening can significantly increase the amount of force required to dispense the product. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so we can obtain some additional information regarding your experience. DAP

      Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Blacktop Roof Sealant. Based on your commentary, it would appear to signal that the inner foil seal was not broken/punctured prior to attempting to apply the product. As indicated on the product package label guidance: "2. Cut nozzle at a 45º angle to desired bead size. 3. Puncture inner foil seal. 4. Load into caulk gun. 5. Fill gap w/sealant". Failure to puncture the inner foil seal (Step #3) will not permit the product the flow from the application tip as intended and will likely result in product bypassing the plunger creating the condition as you describe. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477. DAP

      Strong & durable, but difficult to work with
      Good news; the product is just what I wanted, an asphalt-based sealant. Bad news; the substance is so thick and/or the tube it comes in is so poorly designed, getting any of the stuff to come out of a caulking gun is VERY difficult. I cut the nozzle bead cut to as wide as it would go, stabbed the inner foil to death, and I was still getting carpal tunnel just to get a VERY slow flow rate. Manufacture date was just 6 months from use, so I don't think it was expired.

        not in a tube. expensive product to not work
        It doesnt come out of the tube. I ended up cutting the entire nozzle off and making a hole the size of a finger. It would barely come out giving it everything i had. For context im a 37 y/o builder and remodeler. Unless you plan on dissecting the tube, find something else.

          Product did not adhere well to the work surface. Tube content has a tendency to poor out of plunger side fouling up the caulk gun.
