<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t need to be a professional contractor to reseal your roof, but you do need to be methodical. Here is the real-world process we recommend at RV Roof Magic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 1: The Deep Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you apply a new coat over chalky residue or dirt, it will peel. Use a stiff brush and a cleaner like \u201cRoof Protect.\u201d You want to get all that oxidation off until the surface feels firm. Let it dry completely \u2013 trapping moisture under a seal is a recipe for bubbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Spot Repairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore you do the whole roof, look for the \u201cproblem children.\u201d Large tears or gashes need to be addressed first. Using a high-quality RV sealant<\/strong> to reinforce these areas ensures that when you roll on the main coating, the foundation is solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3: The Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is the easy part. You don\u2019t need fancy sprayers. A medium-nap roller and a corner brush are all you need. Since RV Roof Magic<\/strong> is a single-component product, there\u2019s no mixing of hardeners. Just stir it up and start rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPro Tip: Try to avoid applying in the direct midday sun if it\u2019s over 90\u00b0F. The product will \u201cflash dry\u201d too fast. Early morning or late afternoon is your sweet spot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCompatibility: Don\u2019t Melt Your Roof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest mistakes DIYers make is putting the wrong chemistry on their roof. For example, applying certain solvents to TPO roofs can cause the adhesive beneath to swell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We designed our RV roof coating<\/strong> to be the \u201cuniversal\u201d solution. It\u2019s compatible with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- EPDM (Rubber):<\/strong>\u00a0It fuses directly to the membrane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fiberglass:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds a flexible layer to prevent gel-coat cracking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Metal:<\/strong>\u00a0Stops rust in its tracks and cuts down on the \u201cdrum effect\u201d during rain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The only thing it doesn\u2019t like is silicone. If someone previously \u201cfixed\u201d your roof with silicone caulk, you\u2019ll need to remove it first, as nothing\u2014not even our magic\u2014will stick to silicone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping it Cool (Literally)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMaintenance isn\u2019t just about stopping leaks; it\u2019s about comfort. A black or dingy gray roof absorbs an incredible amount of heat. By applying a fresh, RV sealant,<\/strong> you can reflect up to 86% of solar heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ve had customers tell us their AC units finally stopped running 24\/7 after switching to our white liquid rubber. It keeps the interior significantly cooler, which saves your battery and your sanity during a summer trip through the Southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
