Roof Repair.

[Bruce Patterson]

Hit a tree with my trailer today. It has a rubber roof (I think) which was damaged on the corner.  Is this something I can repair myself?

Hi Bruce,

You ay be able to repair using Eternabond tape depending on just how big the damage is.  Eternabond is good stuff.

Ron,

Thanks for your reply.  I haven't heard of this tape before.  Where do I get it?

I don't think a strip of tape would be big enough to cover the hole (haven't been up there to examine it yet), could I get a piece of rubber and tape it over the hole?

Bruce,

Eternabond comes in various widths. I've used it on my shed and screenroom roof. Clean area and use a wooden roller to ensure good contact.

Bruce Eternabond can be purchased HERE.  You can view videos on using Eternabond HERE VIDEO. Additionally do an advance search on Eternabond and you will find several discussions on it.  Eternabond comes in 4 inch wide tape.

Hope this helps.

Excellent!  Looks like just what I'm looking for.  Now I've got to stop in one spot long enough to order some!

I just moved from Pismo Beach to Ventura yesterday.  Be here a few days, then I'm off to Texas.

Glad we could help.  We did our three day drive across Texas a couple weeks ago.

NICE job Ron !!

I learned something today. I was planning on re-coating the roof this spring. Should I put this stuff on first and then roll the recover stuff over it?

I would only use the Eternabod tape to repair damaged areas and to seal around seams or where caulking has been used and such. I think I would use the Eternabond where necessary first then use the recoating.  Maybe others here will have some thoughts.

Ron, the EternaBond videos are fantastic, I have saved them to my 'Favorites' for when I need them (I hope not soon).

Better thank Tom for posting the original link to them.  I just used advance search to find them and provide a link to them in response to a question.  They are good videos.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I'd use the tape over all of the currently caulked joints ( around vents, A/C ect ) and then I'd roll the roof right on over it.

Can you make a sharp enough turn with the tape to go around vent pipes?
