ACRYLIC ROOFING:  INSIDE CORNERS

The intersection of two vertical walls with a roof is called an "inside corner" if the walls intersect at an angle measuring less than 180°. Although the illustrations show a 90° angle, the same procedure works for other angles. Follow these procedures just before beginning to waterproof the main roof surface.
