Repairing soft spot in RV roof
OK, first off I apologize as I know this is not a new topic. However, the standard "search, it's been covered x amount of times" is rather quite useless when the links are 5+ years old and none of the pictures work. I have roughly a 1.5' square foot soft spot in the corner of my toy hauler. I can tell it leaked right at one of the seams, as there is undoubtedly a clear, straight line where the roof is solid then gets soft. I did find a small tear in the EDPM roof (branch or something must have tore it since I checked it in the beginning of the year).
So my question is:
How exactly do I make the cut into the roof to access the rotten wood to replace it? Should I cut a "H" pattern? I can probably figure out how to replace the wood once I get to that point, but my question is how/what do I use to glue/repair the EDPM roof? Is it acceptable to use Eternabond and just "seal" the roof back together? I am still trying to figure out what the "good" products are out there and what route I should go with.
