It does have 4 ridges that run the length of it. Its not truly flat. Dont mean to be beaten a dead horse . Just want it done right. I never was planning on blasting the entire roof , just the 80% of where the rust is.lol I just was going to hit the rust spots. I really think I am going the naval jelly route that some one posted a link to above.
