Sorry to hear about your experience with Henry 885 Tropi-Cool 100% Silicone Seam and Repair. This product is intended to be trowel grade as it used for repairs and seals seams. You may have mistaken this for Henry 887 Tropi-Cool 100% Silicone Roof Coating, which can by applied by a roller. If you have any further questions please contact us at Srathbun@henry.com.

DAODONG, you are correct. This is more of a thick butter-grade made to seal seams and address repairs. If looking for a thinner silicone, look for Henry 887 Silicone Roof Coating, which can be brushed or rolled on. Thank you for putting your trust in Henry and Home Depot.

Terrible
I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this product. I watched the video and bought a roller, and paint pan to apply. It was impossible to roll on. I had to use a trowel and now my roof look terrible

Hi Frank-sorry to hear about the issues you had with our Henry product. It sounds like you may have purchased the wrong product for your project. The Henry 885 Tropi-Cool Seam & Repair Roof Sealant is more of a butter grade sealant that you would use a trowel or paint brush on to apply. It sounds like you were looking for more of a paint grade product which would be our Henry 887 Tropi-Cool 100% Silicone Coating. We would like to get more details on your project to help get you a solution. Please email me at rroberts@henry.com or call our tech. support line at 800-523-0268.

The product worked fine. But when I opened the can about 1/3 of it had already been used. Someone used some product and returned the can. I would have returned it myself but was in a rush. Can cost $75 and I only got $50 worth. Bummer!

Fantastic rating of 5 stars for Henry 885 Silicone Seam and Repair Sealant. Henry 885 is a tough silicone leak stopper that has superior adhesive qualities. Henry 885 is great for sealing cracks, splits, seams, curbs, holes etc. prior to coating with Henry 887 TropiCool waterproof roof coating and it has a lifetime warranty. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Thank you for your nice review of Henry 885 Silicone Seam and Repair Roof Sealant. Usually Henry 885 is thick but about the consistency of cake frosting. Perhaps this bucket had been opened once prior to your purchase for some odd reason. We are glad that you were still able to use Henry 885 to complete your project and we thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Good stuff but you better use the whole bucket
This is great stuff and stopped a few leaks on my mobile home roof. However, I used about 3/4 of a bucket and 2 days later found another spot. When I took the lid off the remaining material gelled up and had to discard. The lid was sealed tight and in a cool room.

Thank you for the nice review of Henry 885 Silicone seam and repair sealant. Henry 885 is a great leak stopper to use because it goes on so smoothly with just a brush or a trowel. One of the nice things about Henry 885 is that it doesn't shrink as it cures like most sealants and is not affected by the harmful rays of the sun so it will stay flexible for a lifetime. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry co and the Home Depot.

Mixed review. A year ago I used this product and was very happy with it. This time it was so thick I could not roll or paint it on. Had to use a trowel. Needless to say limited the coverage area a lot.
On a positive note. It does stop leaking.
I’m probably going to try it again and hope the last purchase was just a bad batch.

Kerry, we are sorry to hear about your experience. It could be possible that you used Henry 887 Tropicool roof coating on your roof a year ago and not the 885. The roof coating can be rolled on or brushed on where the 885 is a seam sealer that is made to be used with a trowel and is pretty thick. The one gallon buckets look pretty similar so it might have been stocked together by accident. Thank you for putting your trust in Henry products and the Home Depot. Please reach out to us at jszymanski@henry.com so that we may clarify any questions about our Henry products.

This and the similar Tropi-cool coating are good from my point of view as a handyman homeowner but I'm not a roof professional. When I bought this I didn't really know what the difference was between this and the roof coating product. This seam and repair sealant is MUCH thicker and is troweled on. The coating can be poured out, spread with a brush, and is self-leveling. Both solved my leak problems though. Great products!

Vern, I am sorry that you threw the can of 885 away. 885 is a patching sealant and as such is supposed to be thick in order to patch gaps and seams. 885 is normally applied with a trowel or brush and should be the consistency of butter. 887 TropiCool hi-solids silicone coating is the product that is thinner and is the one used to coat a roof. If you still have the can of 885 I would encourage you to take it back to the Home Depot and exchange it for the 887 TropiCool coating.

Really liked the product but you need a wooden Masonry brush to apply because it’s so thick. I broke two standard 4” brushes trying to apply the product with them, they separated ate the bristle to handle area.
Get the product warm inside for a day or so, warmer the better because it’s not as thick. If warmer.
I’d advise old cloths and rubber gloves when applying.
It seems to have solved out leak.

885 is usually the consistency of cake frosting. You may have gotten a bucket that someone had opened on the shelf to look at the product. As a moisture cure product, once the bucket has been opened it will start to cure slowly and become thicker. 885 should be very easy to spread with a trowel or a brush. In the event anyone is dissatisfied with any Henry product I encourage them to contact me directly at jszymanski@henry.com
