    white reflexs heat black absorbs it, so you need a lot of coats of white,

    Is the blackjack bitumen based, which is made by the Everbuild brand?

    Cover it with a sheet of white polythene, or fit 4mm ply and paint that.

    Good advice but 6mm ply will probably be cheaper.

    We never fell out, we just have a difference of opinions on some things and he hates to admit when he's wrong and I love to dog him when he is.
    He should be used to being wrong by now as it happens all the time.
