fact is, 99.99999% of the time asphalt mat fails, it's installation error, as most people are either too lazy or too stupid to prep and install it right. perhaps your brother should have used nails in his install. 
Not that it matters, but FWIW my brothers install was done by a professional shop. He did contact eD about it and they replaced the product with v3. There were three layers of v1 when it originally failed. Even though v1 is supposed to be okay on top of v1, eD said the extra weight pulling down on a vertical surface, combined with the heat, are what caused the failure.
Besides, did you guys even read the link I posted?

BrownBead failed in a controlled test environment (properly cleaned surface and installed product) at 160*F after only two minutes. That was one layer.
Evidence enough for me that there are far superior products on the market for as much or less money. Hence the reason for my original post (it wasn't to come on here and talk crap, contrary to SteedaSVT's apparent belief).
