I use RC 2000 by inland coatings. Read their case studies...good stuff imo. Don't know if good for someone in business though...takes long time to dry. Got 1st gallon at rv part store for $87.00
Got more over the years at roofing store that handles epdm with commerical buildings at 1/2 of what rv plaves get for it. Paint brush versus roller...lot better coverage with brush.
I just got off the phone with Inland Coatings and had a nice chat with Caleb there. They are quite confident in their coatings and talked about a 15 year guarantee! He said even in Phoenix that I could expect about that length of time after applying two coats of their RC-2000 rubber product, and at that time just apply another coat to refresh. (I doubt if the trailer or me will be around then . . .)
He wasn't aware of LiquidRubber (which Barney & others have used), but when he looked it up he said it appears to be like Flex-Seal as sold on TV, and they look at that as a lesser product. I had a good impression of him and his knowledge, and didn't get the sense he was feeding me a line, for what it's worth.
He said he was actually sending me a quart sample of a couple products (also talked to him about my garage foam flat roof recoat job). He said he could sell direct to me, but to save shipping cost I might go through a roofing buddy here in Phoenix (if I decide to use this product). BTW - good on TPO too!
He IS a "salesman" for THAT PRODUCT.
You know the old adage..
Question, How can you tell a salesman is lying?
Answer, when he moves his lips!
Of course they feel their "product" is superior, the salesmans paycheck DEPENDING on SALES, won't get sales nor a paycheck if they don't tout the product their company makes.
I will still stand by my old post, NOTHING you can simply slather on a old roof is ever going to hold up or last. There is absolutely no real chance that these highly touted miracle liquids will ever get good enough adhesion to the old worn out surface like the original manufacturer can in a highly controlled factory environment.
If your roof is this far gone, DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR, REPLACE IT.
Yep, bite the bullet, spend some money and get it done right THE FIRST TIME!!!
