EternaBond RoofSeal White 3" x 50'

You most likely purchased this to perform a repair or preventative maintenance on your RV. Many people look into a couple of things that may assist the novice who has never used this before. br>br>First and foremost, the adhesive properties are exceptional. It will stick to itself and will make sticking to just about anything a breeze. The fact that removing the material if it is placed in the incorrect location can be a difficult task was mentioned with caution. As a result, it's critical that you don't remove the plastic backing until you're ready to use it. It can bind up on itself if you take more than a few feet at a time. The wider it is, the more likely this is to happen. When I applied the tape and then smoothed it off at an angle, I found that it was easier to leave bubbles than when I went straight ahead. However, applying the material in a straight line and then smoothing it off at an angle seemed to keep it in place quite well. If at all possible, a roller should be used. Despite the fact that I only used the 3 inch size, I still needed to use the roller to smooth out the areas. When it's a little cooler outside, it's usually a little easier to apply this material; the hotter the RV is, the tackier the clue becomes. When it's warmer, it's more flexible, but it also sticks much more than is desirable. I used it at about 75 degrees and it worked perfectly. br>br>Pros: br>It adheres to any reasonably clean surface extremely well. It is recommended that you thoroughly clean it, but it adheres well. It's a simple method that almost anyone can use to fix a leak. br>For what it does, it is reasonably priced. It is a little pricey, but it works well and allows you to prevent something from happening or to repair a leak that you already have. br>br>Cons: br>The tape is docked a star because the first foot you use already bonds to itself. Because there is no plastic backing to prevent it from doing so, you will lose an entire foot before you can apply it. They don't add anything on top of that. When all the material is removed, you actually lose one full foot. And because it bonds to itself so quickly, you lose your put and are unable to use it. The fact that it cost me a lot of money, which is already a lot of money for this stuff. This means I'll have to take a star off my final grade. If you don't take your time, it can be a little difficult to use; give yourself plenty of time because it isn't super simple to use. However, if the novice takes their time, it is simple enough for them to do. br>br>Overall, this material is ten times better than the FLEXTape you see on TV. That's a piece of cake in comparison to this. Even though it is less expensive, it is not recommended. It would not be able to stop any leaks even if the entire role was used. This wobbly material, on the other hand, would stop a pipe leak because of how well it works. However, we applied it solely for the purpose of routine maintenance. I didn't cover the screws or the trimming, but I did cover the gaps where the rail is installed. It has bad butyl tape, and I can't remove the trimming because we've had our RVs for so long. Overall, I would recommend purchasing this, but keep in mind that there is a charge for missing items as well as the fact that it was taped to itself. That could have just been a factory error, but I ended up losing a foot of material that I really needed, and I was about 6 inches short and had to make adjustments to make it work.

As long as you follow the instructions, this product performs admirably in terms of adhesion and water resistance. Following the purchase of a new travel trailer in 2006, I purchased several rolls. I purchased a quart of acetone to clean the surfaces where the tape would be applied. I wrapped the roof of the travel trailer around the entire perimeter. br>In most cases, the rubber is attached to the rain gutter. The rubber and gutter are held in place by screws every few inches. These are all possible leak points in my opinion. It's not a question of if, but when your RV will leak. Even after meticulous cleaning and caulking of seams, I had this problem with a previous RV. On the roof, I finished all of the edges and seams. All of the roof vents were used, as well as a piece beneath the crank up antenna. br>In the 15 years since it was installed, the product has performed admirably. No leaks. Here are some suggestions/thoughts on the product and process: br>br> br> Do not saturate the area with acetone; instead, wipe it down and wait for it to dry. br>br>Once you've removed the tape's backing, take care. The product adheres to the surface superbly. br>br>After applying the tape, roll it down with a J roller. You won't be able to get it off easily once it's down. br>br> br>br>I cleaned the inside of the gutter and the rubber roof edge, then applied the product inside the back edge of the gutter, covering the screws, and folding over onto the roof. It should be rolled down br>br>I worked on the front and back seams where the metal siding meets the rubber roof. From the ground, I am unable to see any of this work. br>br>I can't think of a better way to protect roof seams than to use this product, and I'll be using it on any trailer I buy in the future. It's not cheap, but it's done an excellent job, with no loosened, torn, or failed seams. This product has made me very happy.

It takes a little getting used to the product before you can use it without difficulty- I needed to seal a 24 foot seam on an older RV's roof. Because I had never used eternabond tape before, I had to cut it into smaller strips because it sticks to any surface it comes into contact with. To make a good seal, you must carefully press it into place, but it has stopped leaks and is working so far! It was simple to apply to small patches and, once pressed into place, it worked well under the roof elastomeric sealer that was applied to the entire surface.

It hasn't been difficult for me to get it to stick. I just used a commercial rubber roof cleaner to clean my roof, and it worked great. It sticks right away, so make sure it's where you want it before removing the backing. If you're not used to working with this type of material, I'd suggest picking up a cheap roll of contact paper and practicing with it. Working with Eternabond is the same once you've mastered contact paper. I've discovered that keeping it cool makes cutting much easier. It adheres to the scissors once it warms up. When I'm working with it, I keep it in my shadow to keep the sun off it, or I put it under something to keep it cool if I'm moving around a lot. You can get a nice tight finish by putting a bead of self-leveling caulk over the edge.

So far, this tape appears to be adequate. It was easy to understand and operate. I used this tape to hold down a flat flexible solar panel on the roof of my RV after cleaning it thoroughly. I chose this option because of the numerous positive reviews and the desire to avoid drilling holes in my brand new camper's roof. Well, it worked for about 6 weeks before flying off and ripping the wiring out with it when we took the camper out. It must be heat-sensitive, because it shrank over time but did not stay put. This might work as a temporary tape, but it's not going to be long-lasting.
