This is my third attempt for this site to recognize that I AM LOGGED IN and better finally post my reply !!

It sounds like Modified Bituman, a vulcanized, roll roofing, air tight system many companies have their own version of.

It is not RUBBER in any way. It is basically cured asphalt on the surface, layed on top of a fiberglass matting, with un-cured asphalt on the back to heat-bond to the substrate and laps. Flashings and edges are key to it`s effectiveness. It can be cold applied. Aluminum is not an acceptable flashing metal for heat application. Other similar products can be mistaken and ruined when heated. It can be damaged by overheating (visible). It comes in smooth and granulated. It can be coated with all asphalt compatable coatings (includeing driveway seal).

If you could post a few photos I could examine, I`ll go over coatings and prossess better.
