Roofing tar can perform better with support from material such as a piece of shingle or plywood. Is roof tar and roof cement the same? It is also used for waterproofing comprised of elastomeric bitumen, aluminum pigments, fibers, mineral fillers and volatile solvents. It can cover and enhance old waterproofing coats.

Would bitumen paint be suitable for protecting the underside of a steel trailer?

Bituminous paints, as their name suggests, are bitumen-based coating products designed to be applied in a liquid or semi-liquid form. These paints consist primarily of hydrocarbon materials dissolved in another solvent—such as mineral spirits or naphtha. Bituminous paints and coatings are also usually modified with other materials, such as polyurethane- or acrylic-based polymers, to increase their durability and flexibility—especially when exposed to sunlight.

Hot temperatures with dry weather will allow the coating to dry at a much faster rate. Can you thin foundation coating?

This liquid-to-semi-solid form of petroleum is typically found in natural underground deposits—but it can also be a refined product, classified as "pitch." Like most petroleum hydrocarbons, bitumen is hydrophobic: It repels, or does not mix easily with, water. This characteristic makes bitumen-based paints and coatings ideal for waterproofing a wide variety of objects and structures. For harsher conditions such as marine environments—where long-term protection is paramount—you may treat the surface with a suitable anti-corrosive primer. You can employ similar surface preparation techniques can for other substrate materials, including wood and concrete. Step Two: Surficial Preparation
