Rust-Oleum Stop Leak
Has anyone had any success with the product Rust-Oleum Stop Leak on the roof of their MH. I find it hard to work with a caulking gun and thought this might be a good alternative.

I'm guessing it's petroleum based, and if you have a rubber roof you will ruin it.
I'm no chemist, but here is the MSDS Sheet on it.
But...from the FAQ section, it depends on the type of roof material;
4. Can LeakSeal® be applied to ABS Plastic or Synthetic Rubber?
LeakSeal® is not recommended to be used on ABS Plastic or synthetic rubber. These two substrates have been proven to be extremely difficult to properly accept coatings.
Synthetic rubber is just a fancy way to say the rubber isn't from a rubber tree. I would be more concern with this product destroying the rubber roof then just a poor seal. If the OP in fact does have a rubber roof I would call the roof maker and pose the question to them. Replacing a roof can run from 3-6K and is too much to risk on a $10 can of thinned out tar and internet well wishes.
BTW, Good job on your research!
