Rubber roof replacement
We are looking to coat or re-do our rubber roof. Can anyone recommend the best product and let me know why they prefer it over others? TIA

I put this two part roof coating on my roof, and am really happy with it so far.

It is a really flexible product once cured, and some came off when I was coating the remaining part of my roof (a week after the first application, my foot drags across a section, so some wrinkled up and came off in a 1/8" thick layer, and I put that in my pocket last weekend, it is still flexible and stretches a bunch!)
My RV has been in inside storage for over a year, and probably will stay there this winter, and I will find another location for it next year. So I coated the roof hoping for a lower cost place to store it, however the cost to move it is to much, so it will stay put for a few months.
It was easy to mix up. I used a $8 home Depot paint mixer, the one they sell for $20 is overpriced and not as high of quality. I bought one, it arrived bent. You pour in the catalyst, and then mix for about 5 minutes. My 1/2" 18 volt battery drill worked great for that task.
Then I dipped out a coffee cup at a time from the 5 gallon bucket. I got about the front 15' done, and was running out. I decided to put it on thick rather than thin, and ordered another 5 gallon pail. I have a 30' BOunder, with a curved roof and 8.5' wide. So I guess if I measured the roof line, it might be 9' total width from gutter rail, up over the top to the other gutter rail.
Good luck!
Fred.
