Application Process for Liquid Rubber Roofing Systems
Achieving professional results with Liquid Rubber products is a straightforward process, even for the inexperienced DIYer. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you apply Liquid Rubber Roofing Systems to your RV:
Step 1: Prepare Your RV Roof
Before applying any products, ensure your RV roof is completely dry, clean, and free from damage. Use the Liquid Rubber RV Roof Smart Cleaner to remove any dirt, algae, mold, or mildew from the surface. For TPO, fiberglass, and aluminum roofs, scuff the surface to remove any shine.
Step 2: Seal Seams and Joints with Liquid Rubber Seam Tape
Apply the Liquid Rubber Seam Tape to all seams, joints, and protrusions, such as vents and skylights. Be sure to apply pressure to activate the adhesive and ensure a smooth, wrinkle-free application. Overlap separate pieces of seam tape by at least 1 inch for added reinforcement.
Step 3: Apply Primer
For fiberglass or metal RV roofs, apply the Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer. For EPDM or TPO roofs, use the Liquid Rubber EPDM Rubber Primer. Ensure the surface is adequately primed, as this will improve adhesion for the subsequent RV Roof Coating application.
Step 4: Apply Liquid Rubber RV Roof Coating
Once the primer is dry, apply the Liquid Rubber RV Roof Coating using a brush, roller, or airless paint sprayer. Aim for a minimum final thickness of 1 gallon per 50 sq ft, which may require 2-3 heavy coats. Allow approximately 6-8 hours between coats, or until the coating is dry to the touch.
Step 5: Inspect and Repair
After the final coat has dried, inspect your RV roof for any pinholes, blisters, voids, or thin spots. Repair any defects as necessary to ensure a durable and watertight finish.
Step 6: Clean Up and Maintenance
Remove any masking tape while the coating is still wet and securely close the container to store any leftover product. Clean any spills or tools with soap and water. Regularly inspect and maintain your Liquid Rubber Roofing System to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.
Tips and Tricks for Successful Application
To achieve the best results with your Liquid Rubber Roofing System, consider the following tips and tricks:
- Apply each coat in an alternate direction to ensure even coverage and thickness.
- Work in manageable sections to avoid overextending yourself or damaging the freshly applied coating.
- If your RV is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer to ensure you do not void the warranty by applying any coatings.
- Consult the Liquid Rubber application guides and videos for additional advice and support.
