Liquid Roof is a liquefied version of a synthetic rubber typically referred to as EPDM. The letters EPDM stand for ethylene, propylene, diene monomer and M class. Unlike ordinary coatings liquid RV roof repair coatings have more uses as they can be used on RV roofs and other vehicles as well. Liquid RV Roof repair coatings can be applied to a wide range of roofing materials including metal, fiberglass and wood (although wood is not a warrantied application and require the use of the ProFlex primer first).
Application and Curing Process
This is a one coat system for
your RV which results in you saving labor costs and material costs since many ordinary
coatings on the market require multiple coats and provide no warranty. Before
the application of Liquid RV Roof be sure to clean the RV roof so that any oils
or fats are removed as they will cause the existing EPDM roof to swell. To
clean the RV roof you may wish to consider adding 2 cups of bleach to kill any
surface mold/mildew along with a standard detergent such as dawn dish washing
detergent or Simple Green. Let the RV roof to dry.
Liquid RV Roof is a DIY product.
You don’t need professionals to apply Liquid Roof as you can take care of the
entire project on your own. It can be easily
applied with a squeegee and a roller and a 24 ft. unit should take you approx.
two hours to apply. Note that once you mix the catalyst you have approximately
a 3-4 hour pot life depending on your daytime temperatures. The higher the
temperature the less pot life you have.
Liquid Roof normally takes about
two days above 50 degrees for the material to develop a skin and then 7 days
for a full cure. The higher your daytime temperature goes the quicker the
material will dry. If you get an unexpected rain no need to worry. Also in the
event of that unexpected shower the product is already waterproofed.
Cost and Value
Liquid RV Roof repair coating is
a one coat system for your RV which results you saving material and labor
costs. The money saved can be invested to remodel the RV interior. The best way
to apply the product is to chalk off the area into 42 square foot sections.
When you are done filling in that area, you should be done with a gallon of the
material. It also comes with 10 year warranty as well which gives you the value
for the money.
