Not really, and the idea hadn't occurred to me. However, I can imagine 
the results now that you've pointed this out.

The reason I asked is because the roofing contractors are installing 
torch down on the flat parts of the roofs on the townhouses I'm working 
on, and I was wondering if there is anything I should be mindful of 
(although I probably won't be going up on the roof(s) again after the 
installation is finished...). Hopefully the reason their company has 
been in business for a fairly long time is because the installers do the 
work properly..... but that's not always a sure thing.


Cheers,

Chris Green.
