Dicor RP-CRCT-1 EPDM Roof Acrylic Coating - 1 Gallon - Tan - Long-Lasting and Durable

Follow the directions, easy to apply, coats well

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 recruited my son for this job. I wanted to coat the roof to extend it's life and stop the chalking streaks down my 5th wheel. Spent 3 hours wrapping it with plastic per advice from manufacturer. Then did step 1 with care, not to overspray, then scrubbed and rinsed for about a 1/2 hour. Waited for dry time, didn't take long in 74° and sunshine. Then did 2 thin coats with step 2, with ample dry time in between. Looked really good and felt good that time to make sure it was done correctly. 2 weeks later I check on the roof, 90% looks great. The 10% that didn't looked as if we trapped air under the coating?? I could push small areas down, so it wasn't bonded?? then had three areas that my shoe broke open the air pocket to expose original roof. I was surprised how easy it was to tear. Happy about most of the roof, just disappointed that I had to emergency RV tape repair opened areas.Update. Sooooo over a month later I go up on my rv roof to add vent covers, I was so disappointed to see this coating cracking apart in multiple spots! What the heck! I now am really questioning the product. Most is still in good shape, but now I have to buy another gallon to fix all the spots that have cracked. With all the time and cost, I wish I had not coated my roof! No way to get a refund either....Update#2- I contacted Dicor customer service and explained my issue with the Cool Coat cracking. They quickly responded and let me know that I made the layers to thin. I was really shocked and pleased that they are re-supplying me with the correct amount of gallons and they are sending the activator (part 1) also, for no charge. Thank you Dicor customer service for making my situation correct, even when I mistakingly made it to thin.

#1, spray or mop generously with full strength bleach over entire EPDM rubber roof top, this will soak in and kill everything growing on it and into the pores of the roof, forget the so called activator, that's a hustle. Leave the bleach on the roof for an hour or two, #2, get yourself a hard bristle scrub brush with a mop handle and dawn dishwashing liquid soap, a garden hose with sprayer on and wet the whole roof again, this will get the bleach going again and prime it for the dawn and scrub brush. Scrub sections of the roof and spray it off, anything still there scrub it again spray it off. Get off the roof and spray off all the sides of your RV. If you do this early in the morning you have a chance of the roof drying completely, I don't recomend doing that. Let it dry all day and night. Next day if sunny and dry wait until mid day get back on the roof, it will be very dry and first sweep it off with a broom to get anything off. Next, use a cordless drill ON THE ROOF with a kitchen wooden mixing spoon inserted in the drill and mix for 5 minutes. Just start pouring the Dicor out on the roof and use a paint roller with a mop handle and start spreading it out, you can cut in the sun lights and ac unit/s prior with a regular paint brush, be generous with the application. If it's sunny it will all dry to where you can walk on it with clean sneakers in an hour and apply the second coast. You need 5 hours of sunshine before dark and a dry night and dry day the next day or you may have a problem. ALL of the waterbase must evaporate from the Dicor coating for the Acrylic coating to finish curing where rain or dew will not mess up the whole job and it WILL mess up the whole job. When this stuff sets up you will have a nice semi hard new roof that will look and feel like new. Don't follow these directions at your own peril. Two generous coats used 2.5 gallons of Dicor to do a 32' roof. The product is thick not watery if you mix the stuff as I mentioned above.
