Liquid EPDM roof covering

Our rig is 10 years old, and the roof is still sound, but I suspect approaching the point its age may make it a maintenance problem. Rather that wait for the first leak(s), I'm thinking of being proactive and applying a maintenance coat of liquid EPDM. Here's an example, and I suspect there are other companies. ---> EPDMCOATINGS.COM

Looks like a doable project.

Anyone here done this job? How long ago? Did the product hold up over time? Would you do it again?

Any and all thoughts welcome.
  • Can you walk on it after it dries?? I don't get on my roof all the time but there are times when I have to get up there.
  • I ordered this product factory direct on an old 1995 Terry bumper pull, 26':

    ProGuardCoatings

    Personally, I was very pleased with the results. First several months, beautiful bright white color. It did darken just a bit over the years but I kept that trailer about 3 years after the application and it was still doing it's intended job.

    Very impressive product. I used about 4 gallons for the 26' trailer. Not sure if they have changed or not but the catalyst was in a separate container. When you mix the product and catalyst, you have about a 2 hour working time (if memory serves me correct).

    Ordered it and UPS or some other freight co. delivered it right to my front door a few days later.

    Just my .02, I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.
  • Roofmate only calls for 20 mills wet application and the micro balloons will stretch my free 5 gallons enough to do both roofs. If anyone in st. louis mo would like some I believe we have about 100 gallons left over at our shop.
  • I'm going to use a product called roofmate and mix in micro balloons to keep the heat down. I have the roofmate leftover from a job I did and that is why I am using it. It only calls for a power wash for prep, being a painter I know i'll need to do more such as dicore replacement. Im going to use it on the backside of my roof on the house too to knock down the temps in the attic. Call me crazy, I'll post my results when done.
  • I did my older 24' Aljo when it was 13 years old. Took a couple of days to clean and prep for what I used was Rubber Roof. Put it on and it looked like new.Traded it on a new 5ver about 3 years later and the dealer it was a brand new roof. Product was 60.00 a gallon thru Best Products. I was very happy with it.
