I have a 140 sq ft low slope roof, ergo need to buy more than one gallon, can you apply heaver? Applying direct to plywood, comments appreciated

I don't really have an answer to your question, the product I bought was in a roll not a liquid.

This product is a peel and stick sheet, not anything that can be brushed on. We did apply it to clean swept plywood and to metal roofing.

You can either staple it to the roof truss or alternatively stapled to the joices / bottom of truss on top of insulation. It all depends on your environment [in my situation, I did it to the bottom of the roof truss as it was in my garage where the bottom of the truss is open and used for storage, etc] and the RadiantGUARD website lists many different possible applications for the foil.

I think it would keep it from leaking ok but don't know if you can get it on real smooth so it looks real nice. It goes on like thick honey and is hard to keep all the runs and sag out of it. I think you would need at least 5 maybe 6 quarts to do 26 foot by 8 foot wide. I think if I way you I would go the the hardware store and find a roofing material (tar like) that is made for mobile homes. I think it would do the job and cost less.

They say you can use any 2" x 2" wood but we used redwood and I'd recommend it. We even added reinforced braces in various places along the roof and in the corners (made it much more sturdy). Any covering goes over it quite easily (obviously the thicker the less likely to tear). Best way to put covering on is to use a large roll and roll from the ground over the top (on the sides). We used Solex. Love it! Its tough and easy to install. We have an amazing greenhouse for much cheaper than buying one of this quality outright.

I have a 40 ft long 8 ft wide trailer, I used 6 gallons; Including 3 slide out. I use a small container to scoop it out of the 5 gallong bucket and poor it on the roof then use the Squeegee and spread it with a roller, just like the instructions. I applied it last year, it's been raining lately and got no single leak, roof looks like new.

Yes, as long as you are able to get the product up under the planks past where the water starts to drip into the gutter. If the planks are nailed to the edge of the roof then no, it won't work.

I laid down a 3" with an adhesive (roof tar) as I could not slide the zinc under the asphalt shingles. On another roof at a home I have in Maine I used a 6" as the roof was steep (45degree pitch) and very large in length to the eave. It seems to be preventing the lichens and moss from reoccurring.

You didn't mention the kind of roof you have. I've patched 2 metal roofs and it is easy to apply and works great. I even patched the bed in my Ranchero and the side of my old Toyota 4x4. Highly recommend this item.

It can be applied with a roller, but it covers a small space. We ended up buying 3 cans and it only covered less than 1/2 of our roof. Even though it is clear it discolored the roof slightly so you could see where it had been applied. However, it did stop the 2 leaks that we had on the roof.

I put it over Durock so I did NOT completely cover the Durock. I also bought the fiberglass tape also by Laticrete, put Hydro Barrier into the seams, put the tape on top, then more HB over the tape. My gallon almost covered 60 square feet. Almost. Naturally, I had to buy a second gallon to finish the job. This was on a tub enclosure, not a shower.

Guesstimating a 35'x7' roof area (245ft2) and the can says 42ft2 of coverage per gallon and that suggests ~6 cans needed... but that is one coating and I'm not sure of your roof condition, protuberances, etc. If your roof has leaks, many repairs, etc. I would definitely go additional cans.... If perfect I personally would still go one additional can as a fall back (and I have heard this stuff is good for 1-2 years if not overheated/frozen (and not mixed)). NOTHING would be worse than running out before you are done in my opinion >>> you want a single, seamless coating. Good luck

I agree with others. I filled woodpecker holes in the barn, so I went over the one third inch per application thickness. I would use a test scrap of wood for practice. work fast because it hardens fast.

We stapled ours to the trusses of our low-pitched roof. If you put it right on top of the insulation, it'll act as a vapor barrier, which you may or may not want.

The roof coating (Dicor) works great on seams by filling small gaps and cracks. I would do the Dicor first, followed by the Eternabond and a final coat over everything. Better safe than sorry as they say.

Yes, but if you have a tongue & grove plywood floor the squeegees could be coming from the t&g; joint which will require you to go under the floor and find the joint and shore it up with a 2x4.

research all the chemicals used in the roofing materials and then how many are affected by boiling. California will not allow roof water to be used for anything..I think.

You'd need more than a gallon. I don't think this would work good for a floor. There are other materials more suited to that.
