I just got some of the rubber roofing material and I think it can be applied
and would not be noticable. NO question it would expand and contract without
ever coming loose. Seems to me to be an ideal material to use. The seam
sealer already has the bonding agent applied. One only has to remove the
protecting plastic and apply the rubber to the seam.
