Re: roof sealing
For tears or large punctures, Eternabond tape. Caution with Eternabond... The Eterna part, when it makes contact it sticks,,, and I mean STICKS. wa8xym is very correct. In 95 the rubber roof glue let loose towards the front of our Swinger...ended up pulling out from under the seal of the front cap. Stopped by a place and purchased some glue and some tape...wish I could remember the name of the place...was near Birmingham. They let me pull it inside and do the work myself. Ended up cutting about 4 feet so I could get the clue under the rubber roof...grabbed the tape, pulled the plastic off and forgot my knife...set the tape down. OOPS, the part that just touched the roof ended up staying there. Have never seen anything stick like that. Anyway...the roof stayed in a repaired state until I sold it. I have used the same tape to cover the lap sealant edges on our Dutch Star...now I never have to reseal the edges again :)457Views0likes0CommentsRe: Kool Seal Premium White Roof Coating O.K. on EPDM Roof?
Purchased Dicor sealant, tape, primer and coating in 2010. Cleaned the roof with a brush and water. Cleaned off excess layers of sealant. Used the 6 inch tape all the way around the top of the RV covering the lap sealant with tape. Re-chalked(sealed) vents and such. Did not use primer(didn't want to rinse off...had just waxed it) Put 2 coats of coating on. It was so bright you needed shades while in the shade. To this day (2015) it is still white and bright, Taping all the way around seemed to make it so I never have to seal the edges again. Of course you should always inspect your roof for any issues, however, this is the course I took and it has work wonders. I wonder if 5 year old sealant, primer and coating(paint) is still good....Hmmm402Views0likes0Comments
