flex tape
I have a persistent leak in rubber roof in one corner of 17 year old FW. Had anyone used Flex Tape on a rubber roof? Is there any reason not to? My plan is to cover an area of 8x4 feet - lot cheaper than a whole new roof.

- Acetone it clean. Everyone will say NO NO NO. It will not hurt the rubber roof but it will clean it to where anything will stick. Be careful not to get it on anything else.

Flex Tape - CRUD
Eternabond - Good!- Heng's RV rubber roof seal. 8x4 seems a bit much for tape.

What is the overall condition of the rubber membrane?
While many believe the Edurabond tape is a do all fix all, one needs to be extremely careful when applying to prevent wrinkles that can lead to water passages, in the sticky surface.
I have had better performance with self leveling Diecore calking, it flows to seal irregular surfaces.- I tried to use Flex Seal on a rubber pool last summer. Didn't work, wouldn't stick to the rubber pool material. Watched all kinds of youtube videos of people showing it working, didn't work for me.

I agree - use Eternabond.
I too have not had any luck with the flex products. At all. Especially for a longer lasting solution.
Eterna in Eternabond is short for eternity. This stuff won't come off.

X 2- Thank you all -vote is for EternalBond - I do have friends that like the FlexSeal but their use was for small tears. My main concern was adhesion to rubber. Again, thanks.
- You can get Eternal Bond in wide strips to cover your area then apply Dicor liquid rubber roof over that. That is what I did and again no leaks but of course my tears were small and short and my TT was flat roof.

Mike - I, too, have used Eternabond in the past with very good results.
I, personally, would rather use the Eternabond on a rubber roof. I have never had much luck with any of the Flex Seal products.
