Spray on sealants have been around for decades. Usually you see them on an info-mercial.
Junk like that never holds up to real world use or UV rays. If you have a to fix serious leak your gambling with junk like this.
Nothing like the infomercial stuff. This is a "hyperphobic" (I think that is the term) treatment that repels water. It was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratories here in East Tennessee.
It does exactly what you see. Applications are limitless and are just now being explored.
I don't think it would take a leaky rubber roof (usually a tear or lack of cauk) and magically seal it. It would, however, make water that hits the roof roll off like a duck.
And think about treating the entire outside of your TT with this stuff. Dirt won't stick. Black streaks won't happen.
Has been featured in-depth on several local news reports, and also made national news a while back. I, for one, am excited about the possibilities.
