............A year ago I needed to completely recoat my EPDM rubber roof on a 1999 Travel Supreme 5'ver ! I ordered 5 gallons of Dicor EPDM Rubber roof coating ! I paid `$50 per gallon plus shipping ! I also ordered a gallon of their cleaner\catalyst that is applied prior to the application of the EPDM coating .
............The proper application is a multi step process , (1)apply Dicor cleaner catalyst , let stand ~20 minutes , (2)Pressure wash roof with water and let air dry OR use an air hose and blow water off roof to speed up process of drying (3), Apply FIRST coat of EPDM rubber roof coating with a roller (5)Wait ~ 2 hours and apply the second coat and you're done !
.............Now , the perimeter of my roof had the normal hardened and cracked layer of lap sealant that most older trailers have ! SO.....instead of completely reapplying a new layer of lap sealant I did something different ! ...........I used an air blower and cleaned out all the cracks in the old sealant ! Then I squirted the cleaner\ catalyst over the entire perimeter and simply applied the EPDM coating over the lap sealant when I applied BOTH coatings . Worked like a charm !!!!!!
.............The factor that makes the Dicor method of Recoating Superior , is the application of the SECOND coat !!!!! , jf
