1990… the first thing is to determine if it has a rubber or metal roof… to know what material would work best…
It would be a COMPLETE waste of money to use the HIGH PRICED Eternabond on a poorly or incorrectly coater roof…
for the tape to work it needs to be applied to the virgin roof material, around the edges of the tape (although it can be used over an already sealed joint), otherwise it is no better than the old sealer under it…
If the coating is the wrong material or not adhered well you might have a hard time finding and fixing a leak… this is why coating the whole roof is a bad idea, no terrible idea, to begin with unless it is necessary to get a few more years out of it…
Multiple layers of coating is always suspicious… I guessing a new roof or constant care and maintenance is in the future for this trailer…
I hope I am wrong…
