Dicor RP-CRP-Q EPDM Rubber Roof Coating System - 1 Quart Roof Cleaner/Activator

This product was used on an original 2005 Fleetwood Fifth Wheel rubber roof that was in pretty bad shape. Overall, this product worked amazingly! Prep and application are very straight forward, as detailed on the can (also watch YouTube Video-RV Rubber Roof Coating System by Dicor. My only challenge was to get it all done in one day- Applied on a fall day and time to complete was close to ensure enough light remained in the day. Make sure you start as early as possible to ensure you get the 2 coats down. The product applied easier than painting the walls of a room. I did not notice a strong smell and the flow and coverage was really good not sticky- used a roller and paint brush as needed.I ended up purchasing 3 gallons for my 30 ft rig. Two gallons may have sufficed but I ended up applying the 3rd coat the next day-probably overkill, but worth it to me as this roof did not have much left on it and it gave me peace of mind. At the end of the project, I found that the roof looked almost new. I did not notice any cracks or lesions in the roof as the material covered them very well. This product will not solve any issues with roof edges lifting-I used EternaBond Roof Seal Sealant Tape to tackle and concur the edges. This product worked really well, better than I expected and saved me from replacing my roof.

I had previously ised dicor self level lap sealant to replace my vents and used dicor non sag for trim and seams and to create a condensation/rain run off channel.I skipp3d stage 1. Wasnt a fam of the cost for a quart.I woke up early and scrubbed the roof with a soft car wash brush, Warm water and blue dawn dish soap. I then used a high pressure nozzle on my garden hose and really hosed it all down until the water ran clear, no more grey water or particles visable.I then used a soft bristle broom and swept the water off. And towel dried any spots with a little pooling, I wated until everything was dry, about 40 mintues on a 80 degree day.I then started a thin coat at one corner pouring some out and using a 1/4" nap roller applied until the roller hissed when rolling and added more paint.While waiting for that to dry enough to walk on. I went around the edged and did the trim with a 2" brush.Coat 2 I laid on thicker. Then did more trim coat 3 was thick then Inused the bit left over to apply to areas of water pooling and seams.All in all, it was about 5 hours total with some breaks and even a run to my LHS for more paint thinner.This stuff has a odd odor. Like industrial silly putty. Its thick. Like honey or cold maple syrup. Easy to work with. It wont run unless you pour out too much.Keep mixing ans you wont have the gallon skin up on you. If you take a break, cover it with a wet T shirt or rag to stop it from drying uo.If working from the can, get a pour spout snap on lid. It will keep thr can clean when moving around.This stuff cleans up easy with paint thinner and a good microfiber rag.A+ would buy it again!

I watched the videos, read the directions, and read the reviews. In the reviews that weren't positive, it seems the directions weren't followed correctly...what did those people expect? Over the period of a few days, I completed this project with the help of my 15 year old daughter. We set out to do this in 1 day. If we didn't live in South Florida, it would have been possible, but our humid weather affects drying and curing. We did this in November when our weather was far less humid than in the summer. We got the 28' trailer covered, roof cleaned, and 2 coats of roof coating completed within 1 day. Finished by about 4pm. The following day, the roof was still a little sticky. Dry to the touch, but sticky if I walked on it. After a couple days, it fully cured. We wanted a 3rd coat to even out a few areas and because we still had enough product to complete another coat. 4 days after, I swept off the roof and applied the 3rd coat. It was fully dry and cured by the following day. This coating covers the rubber roof well and I believe will stop that weird white/black streaky stuff that runs down the trailer and creates the streaks. Be sure to fully cover the sides of your trailer before cleaning. We used a roll of visqueen and frog tape from Home Depot. Lots of yuck comes off the roof. I didn't have a pressure cleaner to use on the roof, so I scrubbed it with a long-handled brush and a high powered hose attachment after letting the cleaner/activator sit for about 30 minutes. A little of the crud washed off the roof seeped through our covering, but not bad. After rising and rerinsing and then rinsing some more, we pulled off all the plastic covering and rinsed the sides at the roof dried. Tedious process, many trips up and down the ladder, but not difficult to use and performs as desribed. We used 2 gallons for a 28' trailer.
