Flex seal paint on roof edge

Eternabond tapes being applied to prevent any leaks:


First coat of white, acrylic, elastomeric roof coating:


The Eternabond tape on the edge trim covers, nearly, the entire aluminum piece and screw cover. I masked and taped a clean line on the exterior wall side of the aluminum trim and sprayed across that. I used an airless spray system (Graco). It took me longer to mask and tape than to apply two coats of the roof coating. Total time was about three hours. It is holding up, impeccably, on my aluminum roof.

Flex seal is better than Eternabond, just ask Phil Swift, I believe he frequents this board.

It comes in both a paint and a tape. I use it often to put aluminum boats back together that I cut in half with a grinder for no apparent reason.

Here's a link to the company that sells the EPDM Liquid Roof. They have instructions and videos on how to DIY. The after photos look great!

If the leaks are sealed just use one of the RV roof coating products to give it a uniform appearance.

Eternabond is a tape, not a paint. Eternabond tape

If it has petroleum products in it could do more harm then good.

Thanks

That is why I ask here...most of the newbie mistakes have been made. I will use the 4" eternabond tape to clean it up and be done with it.

flex seal is nothing but garbage it will dry up and flake off

I wouldn't use Flex Seal. Many say it peels off.

What did the RV shop use to seal the roof that is so unattractive?
What color is it?

I also recommend Eternabond along the edges and all seams.

I think it was the eternacaulk along the edges and it attracts dirt in those areas...it is not That noticeable from the street, I just thought a uniform spray above the gunwale would look better

If flex seal will peel I may just clean it and use the eternabond tape in the area
