I accidently made a hole with the drill in my pop up trailer metal roof. Would this help to cover up the hole and not let it leak?If not w/recommend

Go to HomeDepot. Go to where they sell Duct-tape. Get the aluminum tape for outdoor use. It looks shiny silver roll of tape. I get the one with the highest temperature outdoor tolerance. When you get back at your trailer, clean the surrounding area really well with some dishwashing soap and water. Dry it really well. Take some rubbing alcohol with some paper towel and wipe the area lightly. Don't need to rub it. This will make sure there are no greasy area left. Take the aluminum tape and cut a piece big enough to cover the hole. Take the backing paper off and apply it over the hole starting from one edge of the tape, pressing and rubbing the tape as you move slowly over the hole with the tape. Do not apply pressure over the hole with the tape just go around the hole. You don't want to puncture a hole through the tape over the drilled hole. After you are done, put a bead around the edge of the aluminum tape with the Dicor rubber sealant. This will prevent any moisture later on to be creeping under the aluminum tape. If you can see the hole inside the trailer, you can put some clear silicone caulking sealant in the hole and wipe it smoothly and level with the ceiling. Save the aluminum tape and sealants. You might need it in the future for any other roof repairs. I check and inspect my trailer roof every so often throughout the year especially before winter and before the rainy season for any possible leak potentials. I hope this helps. Happy camping!!

In my opinion it may be a good temporary fix but ultimately you would probably want to use a more permanent sealant designed for roof flashing, etc. I am not an expert or a roofer, I just fear that with a material as porous as brick this may not stick for the long term.

A vacuum should work, but ideally you want to not over stuff it with anything that might cause a hole.

Probably not. It is really not at all what it is advertised to be. It may work as a "very" temporary fix for a couple of weeks. It is not good for that kind of a leak.

I would say yes. I was very pleased with how the epoxy hardened. I put a little too much on the side wall during my repair, so the epoxy drooped a little before hardening, but it really fixed the hole. Should do fine arond the drain. Much cheaper than a $200.00 plumber visit! :)

I would think that it would since it's a spray on flexible sealant. I know it doesn't work where it would come in contact with gasoline, but it worked fine when I used it to repair the back of my riding mower seat that had split. Duct taped it & sprayed the sealant over it. I would suggest contacting Rust-Oleum.T Beck, Lexington, NC

It worked very good for me. No overheating. But please make sure you use a good bit. Look for some brands like Bosch, Metabo etc. Actually I beleve that bit is more important than drill.

I have a tin overhang on my back porch. I bought this product to seal a leak we had between the roof and the overhang. I put two layers of the product where the leak is. I let them dry thoroughly between each layer as instructed .The product did not seal the leak.

one trick that I learned from my father was to wrap electrical tape around the drill bit at the desired depth that you want the hole to be. Make the tape thick enough that it stops the drill.

I concur...I attached mine to metal gutters. I would drill a starter hole then use sheet metal screws. I used mine 'straight' over my doorway where a valley from the above roof was causing a 'waterfall' over the gutter from the metal roof. I glued (liguid nails) 1" rocks in a staggarded pattern to the metal roof to slow down the water then attached the gutter gusher. PERFECT!

I had a pretty large hole. I ordered a piece of aluminum and basically patched it on with this stuff. However, I would put it right over a smaller hole. Definitely use brake cleaner (or another really good cleaner) to make sure the surface is clear. I would also invest the few dollars for a small roller (unless you already have one). The roller really made a huge difference in getting it smoothed out and not leaving any air bubbles, etc.

Removed bottom, removed hoses,fill heating element where hoses attach half full with water, put finger on one end and blew on the other...water spewed out. Found hairline crack in aluminum tube. Coated with LB Weld, stopped leak. No more problems. NOTE: I had to drill screws that hold bottom on because my tool was too fat to reach up into the hole and unscrew the hex screw. Mixed more JB Weld and attached the bottom in 4 places so if need be I can get back in the bottom by popping these 4 small places with screw driver. Hope this helps. My rubber hoses were good. Ron

If the hole is not large you can use a wax nail hole filler available in wood colors. This is not the best but it might work.

It will help to cover the hole. Use plenty of sealant on the plate and the antennae mount.

I am purely speculating but I would likely not use this for the flexible seams in a pop up tent. I would feel more comfortable going with one of the aerosol type sealers. My concern with this sealant for that purpose would be the thickness of application and maintenance of flexibility and adhesion over time.

I used one existing hole, the top one, then drilled a new one for the bottom. Fortunately the bottom hole was covered by the base plate so I simply put a dab of marine silicone in that hole just as a precaution to prevent potential leaks. Very simple.

It stopped wind and water leaks for me. Two neighbors also had a problem and purchased the storm shield after they noticed my install. Tips: Layout the shield for a week or more before cutting/trim and using adhesive. It gives the rubber/ plastic a chance to flatten out to give the best fit. It came w/ construction adhesive caulk which I don't care for. My neighbor and I used silicone sealant and it works great. Measure carefully after layout before cutting. I saw this in Handyman magazine & I believe it is a good idea for a better seal even if you didn't have a leak.
