Hmm...I'll look out here and see what they stock. They "looked" like 5 gal buckets.
I applied something like Henry's with a Graco airless sprayer (large model from HD). It can go on thin really easy that way. Helped out on a *big* roof job in Ruidoso. I want to find out what the smallest size sprayer does with Henry's. Might be a way to shoot it with a hand held cheapie. Or maybe even with air compressor and autobody undercoating/primer gun. That would be a cheap, common way to do it. Airless is the best for this thick stuff though. Note on the Henry's, the Enviro White is the "mid" grade. They make more expensive stuff. Henry's is tough with the MSDS and descriptions of their products. Like confusing on purpose almost. Probably a marketing deal. Anyway, the Enviro White had a longer warranty and better specs, similar to their more $$$ products. I think that it would be a safe bet. The cheapest stuff had some almost deliberate marketing bullshit going on. I think some of it related to the "wateproofness". I'd avoid it (it's $80/5gal?)
