EPDM Roof Bubbles

I have an EPDM roof with some rather large bubbles. How do I seal the roof down again and what product do I use to seal it down before I overcoat the entire roof? What product have you found best to recoat the roof? There are several on the market and from the videos I have seen, some processes seem easier than others. Some have put the solution on with a roller and some with a squeegee.

Okay, I am in east texas and is there a company near that can do the job or have you done it yourself and can you give me some helpful hints? Thanks Arnold

    Check YouTube for videos on repairing the bubbles. You should probably use the same type glue used for installing the roof.

    Last summer I restored the roof on our 96 Southwind. I did not have any bubbles. All seams were covered with Eternabond.

    I used Heng's Rubber Roof Coating. It goes on easily, does a nice job and looks good.

    Heng's requires no primer. I used a 4" roller to apply the coating. I chose the 4" because I was not in a hurry and had better control.
    A brush was used for trimming.

    So far it's held up to sun, snow, ice, rain and Pennsylvania's freeze/thaw cycles. No peeling or leaking.
