Good product…but waaaay overpriced!!!! I purchased it because it was the only thing close to what I needed to use on a flat roof to patch a few holes caused by golf balls.

We are happy that Henry 885 TropiCool 100% Silicone Seam and Roof Sealant did the job you needed it to do to seal the holes on your roof. Henry 885 is made of super high-quality ingredients that also have a high acquisition cost. When you think about it, the true cost of a roof coating or a patching material is the cost of the product divided by the years of warranty. With Henry 885, the warranty is a lifetime. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Thick - you trowel it on. Forget the brush except for final smoothing and you better hurry. Put on a RV fiberglass roof.

RV owner, great comments about Henry 885 Silicone Seam and Repair Roof Sealant. Henry 885 is the consistency of cake frosting and is usually applied with a trowel but allows you to use a brush to work the product in around vent stacks and pipes that penetrate the roof. Another great benefit of Henry 885 is that it will last a lifetime. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

This is what you want to use
A gallon of silicone putty you can trowel on. Under my cooler, which is upslope of a near flat roof on the north side. After cutting away they layers of saturated acrylic and wire wheeling the steel, I layed on the Henry's. I have total confidence in the repair with this. Water-based products just can't handle being constantly wet from rain, dew, and snow. Of course you'll have to coat your roof in Henry's silicone after using this patch, but that stuff is amazing as well.

DesertBob, great comments from you about Henry 885 TropiCool 100% Silicone. You are absolutely right that acrylic coatings cannot stand up to ponding water. Acrylic coatings are vapor permeable so water moves at the molecular level through the cured coating. Eventually the water molecules will get under the coating and make it release. Henry 885 is a moisture cure product that is permanently ponding water resistant. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    I tried Henry 885 on my metal patio roof and the results were fantastic. Previously tried a roofing caulk and that stuff that makes a boat with holes float. Neither worked for long. Henry 885 has stopped every leak the roof had.

    Pat1, glad to hear of your great experience! A different option to "that stuff that makes a boat with holes float" is our Henry 880 Tropi-Cool Stop Leak spray that, unlike the others, is 100% silicone! Thank you for putting your trust in Henry and Home Depot!

    Henry 885 is the premium silicone seam and repair roof sealant. Henry 885 is 100% silicone and is not affected by the sun, is able to withstand the stresses of expansion and contraction that the roof goes through every day. Henry 885 is also the most compatible product to use when you intend to coat your roof with Henry 887 100% Silicone Roof Coating. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    Marilou, we really love to see comments like yours. Henry 885 is a great product to seal holes, splits, cuts, tears, seams etc. on a roof. It provides a very tough silicone waterproof seal that will last of many years. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    Patio roof
    Only feedback I can share and why I gave it 4 stars. It was hard to spread across the panels on top of the roof. It dried out very fast as I did not use it all at once. I found the tubes to work better leave it in the sun for a little bit and it flows a lot better.

    Ruth, Henry 885 is a rather unique patching product, especially in the way it cures. Henry 885 is a 100% silicone sealant that cures by pulling moisture out of the air as opposed to the evaporative process like most paints and acrylic coatings. This process provides a much tighter bond to the surface but like you said it wants to start curing fairly quickly, especially if you leave the lid off the can. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    We regret that you had an issue with Henry 885 TropiCool 100% Silicone Seam and Repair Sealant. Henry 885 is a repair sealant and should be the consistency of a paste or a, (mastic) and not a liquid. Henry 885 is made to a specific thickness to make it full-bodied enough to bridge gaps and seal seams, holes, cracks and splits. If the sealer was in a liquid form it would be unable to perform properly. A comparison would be if a caulk came out of the tube as a liquid, it would not stay in the gap that you were trying to fill.

    We are very sorry to hear about your difficulty with the application of Henry 885 Silicone Seam and Repair Roof Sealant. Henry 885 should be the consistency of cake frosting. If it is difficult to spread it may have had the lid opened or it may have not been rotated properly. We urge you to contact us directly at jszymanski@henry.com or our Product Support number 800-523-0268 so that we can determine and correct the problem.

    Mike, we get your hint at the retail cost of Henry TropiCool. Henry, along with Home Depot continue to work very hard to keep the price of Henry 885 Seam and repair Roof Sealant down. Unfortunately, the recent increases in cost and availability of raw materials, as well as freight, transportation and fuel have given rise to increased prices to just about all other products as well. We love your comment "worth every penny", which sounds a lot like...the value still far exceeds the price! Thank you for your very high rating, your short but to the point comments and for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

      Strange you asked about this product and not the other one Henry887 5 gallon drum. Henry Tropi Cool worked well. The 5 gallon drum Henry887 was faulty. It peeled right off the roof. We bagged the product that peeled from the roof and need to return it for a refund. The formula is missing something for the product to fail. We saved half of the product in the drum for inspection. We used this product Henry887 before with no problem. The Henry887 is faulty. When we went to look for more product of Henry887 two weeks ago they had all been pulled from the shelves in the County. There was no explanation from Customers service except there was no Henry887 to be had.

                Stops pooling water and rain from entering
                I used this to seal a wall which abuts a roof deck, where water was pooling and leaking into the house. It is very thick and doesn't cover very far, but made a beautiful seal that blocked the rain.

                cjerian, we are very pleased to see the 5 stars and the nice comments regarding Henry 885 Silicone Seam and Repair Roof Sealant. The coverage rate of Henry 885 should be about 12 square feet per gallon when applied. Henry 885 has a lifetime warranty so you never have to do that repair again. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

                  Poppi, thanks for the great review! Tropi-Cool is great for RVs. Did you also use Henry 887 (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Henry-887-Tropicool-0-90-Gal-White-100-Silicone-Reflective-Roof-Coating-HE887HS142/206029976)? 887 will provide a much smoother finish, as 885 is a butter grade(not paintable) product. Thanks for putting your trust in Henry and Home Depot!
