I have a long slit on my EPDM roof on my house that is about 5 ft long.Can I use Eternabond to seal the slit permanently?Anything else I need to know?

I sealed an 8 foot seam on my 5th wheel camper that leaked like a sieve. That wad more than a year ago and it still does not leak. Clean the old roof per the instructions and seal it with EternaBond.

I'm no expert, but I would think it would work fine. The roll is plenty long enough for that length. Depending on the width of the slit, you might need to layer and overlap the tape. It has worked great for me on my RV with no sign of leaking.

prepare the area well with acetone or mineral spirits, you may want to use staples or short roof nails to keep the edges of the slit down, then seal the slit and all the staple/nail heads with Eternabond, it'll last..

I tried to use this on my RV to fix a leak around a sky light. It did not work. Over the winter it leaked in wetting the ceiling separating the wood. Now it's a major repair. I don't know what I did wrong.

yes you absolutely can... The stuff is amazing and well worth the cost... Here is a good instructional video that shows how to clean and install (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYwxEX3SBK4), I have repaired several RV EPDM roofs with this product and it is amazing... Cleaning of the surface is of utmost importance... If there is any dirt, grime, etc on your repair the tape bond will eventually fail...

Yes, eternabond works great on EPDM roofs. Just make sure you clean the surface well and use a lot of pressure on the eternabond when applying to make sure you get a good seal. Once the seal has formed eternabond will be better than any caulking that you could buy. Highly recommended.

Preparation was the key to success. I used a long handle bristle brush, used a "Simple Green" solution to remove the old paint, then rinsed the roof and allowed to dry, thoroughly. Worked well for me.Be careful in warm weather as the expoxy will cure rather fast. Hint- mix small batches when it's hot.Great product.

This is almost like a really thick piece of tape. I ended up using a sheet metal cutter to cut the length. A heavy duty scissor should work too. Just clean the surface and apply firmly, making sure there are no air gaps. I applied the tape to the outside of the gutter, and then used sealant inside the gutter to cover the hole (attached link). The tape acted as a surface where I could apply the sealant. I have gotten no leaks since. Dap 18188 Gray Gutter and Flashing Sealant 10.1-Ounce

I cleaned my aluminum RV roof with a broom and some light household cleaning fluid, and let it dry. I installed my Peel n Seal roof in 2010, and it's still looking brand new. Seams are sticking perfectly, and no leaks most importantly. I applied min in October when it was a bit chilly, so I used a heat gun to help melt the adhesive when I rolled it over the roof edge to ensure a good seal. I'm glad I did, as it's held up incredibly well.

Yes, it should work pretty well. If the crack is visible on the outside of the house you need to seal it as best as you can with a topical of some sort (concrete patch or mortar). This Is to stop all the epoxy from leaking out. If the whole section is 1/4" and five feet long all the way through, you will definitely need more than one tube of the epoxy. I had the same scenario with only during heavy rains and its been bone dry for the past two years.

Tom, I did not use their cleaner so I am unsure how far it goes. I purchased a can of lacquer thinner and used that to clean the patch area after initial cleaning with some soap and water. So far so good, no signs of the EternaBond not sticking or coming off.

Per the manufacturer's spec sheet, EPDM Lap Sealant creates a secure, secondary seal along the roof's edges, air vents, vent pipes and screw heads. Compatible with EPDM and TPO sheeting, it adheres firmly to aluminum, mortar, wood, vinyl, galvanized metal, fiberglass and concrete. Ideally suited for aftermarket use, the lap sealant is one the highest volume products sold in RV stores today.Available in three formulations:Self-levelingSelf-leveling HAPS FreeNon-sag (not self-leveling)

I think that a better resolution to your problem would be to apply strips of EPDM roofing materiel over the joint that you want to reinforce.So far as applying this over silicone, I don't know if that would work or not.

I'd like to think you can. But please don't take my word for it because I wouldn't want any one chemical to affect that classic's roof! Please be on safe side and contact their customer service. Hope it turns well for you!

I bought this to use on my 10x10 kennel and basically had to jerry rig the roof to stay on since the roof didn't exactly match the kennel. I used PVC and secured it with those metal ties that plumbers use, I can't think of what those are called, but the guy at the hardware store totally hooked me. I've been using this for 3 years now although I did have to replace the roof after about 2 years.

As usual, the answer is it depends. What type of surface, how much space are you working with, etc. These panels are designed to fit between the seams on metal roofs and you need either 9' or 18' of roof to use them. In my case I installed them on a fiberglass van roof as they were flexible enough to conform to the contours and the adhesive was the perfect way to attach them. The 9' panels were the ideal length for my application.

This product is very affective at fixing any leak. Its thick, strong, and sticky. I used it for flashing around my chimney and it stuck to the old dirty brick no problem. But it can be used for any roof or gutters as well. Its basically aluminum sheeting with industrial grade rubber backing... Great stuff. I would buy it again.

Yes, I would apply the eternabond first and then the Dicor fiberglass roof coating.

RV roof must be EPDM to use this stuff.. look under vent cover inside RV EPDM will have black on bottom white on top. clean roof with non petroleum based cleaner let dry. liquid rubber is very thick i rented a paddle drill mixer.. poor into gallon containers as its easier to spread this way. i used thin nap 9 inch roller to apply forget the squegee...pia. you may get some bubbling but they disappear in a few days dont mess with them they will go down and adhere... takes days to cure and set, but when cured looks like a new smooth roof.. very cool product..

I don't see why not. Just make sure you have a drip loop or other arrangement to prevent water from getting to the plug. The tape is intended to prevent ice dams along the eaves and in valleys and gutters. I'm not sure how effective it would be on a flat roof, but I'd don't see any harm in trying.
