Liquid flashing is a type of sealant that can be used to repair leaks on a roof. Here are the steps you can follow to use liquid flashing to fix leaks on a roof:

Locate the leak: Use a hose or water source to simulate rainfall and locate the leak on the roof.

Clean the area around the leak: Use a wire brush to remove any loose rust, dirt, or debris from around the leak.

Apply liquid flashing (Turbo Poly Seal): Apply a thick layer using a disposable brush of Turbo Poly Seal over the area around the leak, making sure to cover the entire area where the leak is located. 

Embed reinforcing fabric: Place a strip of reinforcing fabric over the Turbo Poly Seal, pressing it firmly into the sealant. This will provide additional strength and stability to the repair.

Apply another layer of liquid Flashing: Apply another layer of Turbo Poly Seal over the reinforcing fabric, making sure to cover the edges of the material.

Let the liquid flashing dry: Allow the liquid flashing to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. (approx. 24 hours)

Check the repair: Once the liquid flashing is dry, check the repair for any remaining leaks. If there are any remaining leaks, repeat the process.

Remember, safety is essential when working on a roof. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, goggles, and a hard hat. Additionally, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific brand of liquid flashing you are using, as application and drying times may vary.
