There are many Kool Seal products, but the product that most resembles Lizard Skin type products is Kool Seal Xtra-Lite Elastomeric Roof Coating. This product costs $75 for a 5 gallon bucket at Ace Hardware stores. That was the lowest price I could find on the internet. This product is white, and the description on the back of the bucket says "Xtra-Lite white elastomeric roof coating is formulated with innovative Xtra-Lite microspheres and 100% acrylic elastomeric resin......the coating forms a thick rubber-like blanket of protection that expands and contracts.....It remains flexible from -30 to 160 degrees F........" The ingredient list is water,acrylic polymer,calcium carbonate, | There are many Kool Seal products, but the product that most resembles Lizard Skin type products is Kool Seal Xtra-Lite Elastomeric Roof Coating.

At $15 a gallon and already mixed, this product is an intriguing bargain. |
