This product is made for membrane roofs and will help to stretch the life of the membrane. Apply now and again in the spring.

I'm assuming this would be for your roof. I've used and recommended this to many people I know. NEVER EVER heard anything disappointing. You can use this on laminate shingles! You will think it works like magic. I suggest applying it for the first time before a rainfall. Good luck!

I use on my commercial building with a metal roof. You might need a full edge protector so it doesn't scrape the finish on your roof

You should be able to use this on a fiber glass roof. A primer should not be needed. If the fiber glass roof is too sleek or smooth for this application to stick you may want to try to first sand your roof and then apply it to a small location to see how that works. If its not sticking you should find success in using a marine primer that is used for fiber glass and then apply this over that marine primer. I used this on my RV roof. I repaired leaks with it and also used it to replace the slide out seals. This manufacturer makes a seam tape which doesn't stick; its used by first applying the product, then applying the seam tape, then allowing to set for a few hours then applying more product. The seam tape is a little hard to work with but if you use it the way I did you should have success. Its a very flexible product. On the slide outs, if used to re-seal, you will not be able to use the slide out unless you break the seal. But you can always reapply to reseal. I have to say its a wonderful product. It has saved me allot of money and if I had another RV Roof that needed it I would definitely purchase it again. I would recommend anyone that owns an RV or has similar needs to use it. This product repairs leaks and is an excellent water proofing roofing seal. When I researched prices and products this one won. Low cost, high yield.

This is generally used to keep rubber, window trim, door trim, hood and boot rubber trim supple and prevents drying out and cracking. My understanding is that it isn't a sealer.

I am not a expert on this subject ..In most cases it peels off quite easily ..But for what your using it for not sure as it sounds like it may be on for a long time and with the heat your roof would draw ,makers me wonder how much it would dry out and bake on .. might want to take it off after use

Tape may be a problem down the line. Since Liquid Rubber is to be applied directly to roofing of RVs And other roofs similar in structure, anything in between the literal roof and the liquid rubber could form a barrier to good adhesion. I have however put small pieces of galvanized steel over holes and weakened pressboard areas of my RV roof. The small pieces of galvanized metal were thoroughly covered with Liquid Rubber which flowed over the surrounding area making a nice flat roof. No leaks into the third year after treating my roof to a Liquid Rubber sealing. Tape could be o.k. But tape and heat may cause a separation of the adhesive from the backing and thus weaken the Liquid Rubber Bond. BY THE WAY, I screwed the sheet metal to the sound portions of the roof and thus fixed it in place so as not to shift during the liquid rubber application.

Yes- you can absolutely use this. It does at amazing job at stopping air leaks, heat transfer, and condensation! It bonds completely to aluminum. If you're using it on the exterior, go with the Highest Density formula, though, and then coat it with a rubber roof coat paint.

As per the manufacturer, you should first scrub down the roof with powder Tide (dissolved in water). It worked well for us (so far). It's been a year and the Heng's rubber roof is still intact!

Probably...I would wait until it is dry and see if you notice a difference. I used it in an area that was covered and noticed that it did work but eventually it did get rained on.

Melissa - I used this product on a wood island top in my kitchen. The product will dry to a hard finish and provide good protection. Our sink is located in the island so there is frequent water contact and this provides good protection. I typically re-apply the product 1-2 times per year.

I would recommend contacting the manufacturer? I have only used it over existing EDPM roofs after washing it good.

My roof is also rubber, but I have not tried emplacing the panels. I just unroll on the roof for the stay then roll back up afterward.

In wet Oregon climate,, not a lot of sun,, it might last 3 yrs.In wet Oregon it started to "curl" after 2 years and I tore it out!The PROBLEM is UNDER this material your gutter gets filled with all sorts of fine materials. i.e. anything that washes off your roof fills the rain gutter UNDER the product, thus you have to do maintenance anyway... grrrrrr!I tore it out after 2 years to remove 1/2 to 3/4 inch of mud and typical "asphalt fines" that built up in the bottom of the gutter... What does this build up of material do? It stays wet longer so your gutters rust out quicker.I would suspect in any hot climate the product curls and shrinks more in the heat.Sounds good but not worth the $'s.

Ours is in front of our house, partly covered by overhanging roof that leads to our front door. So far it is okay, and it has rained a few (but not enough as we need) times this year. It will age faster if it is exposed to the elements, so I recommend water sealing it.Hope this helps,Jeff in Lake Forest, CA

I have been in the roofing business for almost 40 years. My experience with a silicone coating is the only thing that will bond to silicone is silicone. You could try a small can of liquid rubber on a limited area. It good stuff, just not compatible with silicone.
