THIS is a better roof coating made of preservative oils,
genuine asphalt and real asbestos rock fibre. It K-ne-trates
old dricd-out roofs, rtsaturatcs the old felts, fills all
pores and softens dry scales.
The aslK-stoa fibre cannot rot, burn or cvajxirate. It
acts like hair in plaster.
Fibre Coating is equally effective on old wxk1. metal,
or comjiosition roofs. Apply it with a brush, just as it
comes from the can or barrel.
Adds years of life to any roof at very small cost. y
