Liquid Roof application

Just finished this last week. On my 34 Bounder I bought the 5 gallon pail and think I put it on pretty thick. I had a gallon left over. I used the primer since I have the Alpha roof. Painting the rounded edges, the liquid roof does want to run if you put it on heavy enough. It takes some practice to get the right amount and after I applied it, used the brush to spread from the drip rail toward the top to keep from applying too much minimize the runs. I used the blue tape and took it off as soon as I was done. I used the gallon EPDM Coating primer kit and it was almost twice what I needed. The biggest issues with runs was with the primer. The primer is easy to apply and about the same as any paint you might have used as far as application. Be aware the for me, doing it myself, after I cut in around the edges and all of the vents, etc. on the roof, two hours had passed and in the 90 degree Florida sun, the primer started to set up in the bucket. I would recommend only mixing half at a time for both the primer and the coating unless you have extra help. It took about 4 hours to complete the primer and 6 hours for the coating for me to do. Moving the ladder around the coach to do the rounded sides just seemed to take a long time. It did turn out great and the roof looks really good now. It has been a week and the coating seems to have set, although I can't be sure it has totally cured. Good luck. 25 to 30 gallons for a 34 foot roof is way, way, way, way overkill and too much. EPDM recommends 5 mil thickness. Chuck

i put Liquid Roof on the Alu roof of An 82 Pace arrow

5gal to 7ft linear/running length, you will need 25gal minimum , buy 30 gallons
i did not go over the rounded edge

clean the roof really good,washed soap and water, rinse
then
i scrubbed mine using scotch bright pads attached to a drywall sanding pole
then rinse, clear water
its great stuff temperature and humidity changes the drying time
do not apply right before rain, several days of dry weather is best for good cure

I brushed mine on, but I only did the seams and protrusions on my 30-foot Allegro. It has an old-school aluminum roof so I didn't need to do the whole thing. I used less than a gallon.

The warmer it is outside while you're applying the quicker it thickens. It is thick enough not to run if you're careful. I applied mine with a cheap paintbrush. I didn't have to tape anything off - it's thick enough to stay where you brush it on.

I didn't use their primer. I wire-brushed the loose stuff off and washed it with soap and water (Dawn to be specific).

It's been a year now and it's still stuck like glue, really flexible and doing is job. Really good stuff.

X2. Wash it, prime it, finish coat. Blue tape around
edge remove asap. I also do touch up when needed.
I noticed cooler temps inside also. I used Bus Kote
but I think they all work. I used brush also.

This is the product that I put on my 97 Bounder.

I did not use primer, but it was not over the factory EPDM either, so I guess I did not need the primer, you will. . .

The product was thick enough that it did not run down the sidewalls. I did not use any blue tape either. I did use a coffee mug to dip out about 1-2 cups of material, then spread it out with a 3" paint brush. I guess I could have poured it on, but then I would have drips down the side of the 5 gallon can, and did not want that.

I used about 8 gallons on my 30' Bounder. I put it on really thick, so I will not need to do it again for years.. .

You might find it easy to apply from a 8' ladder, or even a 10 foot step ladder along the edge. I put it on while under the covered storage roof, think pole barn with 14 - 20' tall towards the center.

You will need to clean the old roof - or what is left of it, well, and then apply the primer and material. You will have about 5-6 hours of pot life before the stuff starts to harden, so you have plenty of time at 70F. Warmer and it will cure sooner. It stops curing below 55, until it warms up. I used a lot of towels and washcloths. It might help to have some disposable coveralls, or something you do not mind getting a lot of the material on your clothes. Good gloves too.

I used to camp in a off road place with a guy named 'Whit' in Jawbone Canyon. . .

Good luck with your project!
