You have to wonder how long that "Flash Shield" self sealing black coating will hold up in Florida attics.

I'd hate to be the Chief Engineer for the Developers construction business and be called into a deposition after people perish in a fire resulting from this material and be ask why after all the documented issues and recalls they continued to use attic routed CSST gas lines in the lightening capital of the US.
