The benefits of using Liquid Rubber are undeniable and a major reason why the home owner needs to ensure their roof is sealed properly. A high quality roof sealant will provide protection against extreme weather conditions, reflect UV-rays, and prevents water leaks and punctures. Another benefit of having Liquid Rubber roof sealant is ease of installation provided that one follows the instructions.
Pre-installation: The first step is to prepare the roof surface. Remove dirt, debris and any loose material from the surface. You also need to remove any chalking along with oil, grease, gravel and any other elements which could issues with the perfect adhesion of the sealant. A thorough water wash can help this part of the application much easier and faster. Let the roof dry completely. Also don’t forget to patch and work on the roof areas needing repairs.
Application: Liquid Rubber is a ready to use product, no thinning is required. Mix it approximately for five minutes with an electric drill at low speed. When it’s done start to apply it. The best thing about Liquid Rubber is that you don’t need any special equipments, all you need is a paint roller, squeegee and paint brush. Liquid Rubber is a single coat product application with no primer needed (most cases) but two thin coats will provide the absolute protection that roof needs.
Post-installation: After application of Liquid Rubber let it cure, although it waterproofs the roof the instant it is applied. The curing process of Liquid Rubber depends upon the weather condition on the day it is installed. Always plan to apply the product when rain is not forecasted preferably on clear sunny day. When the product dries out any brush or roller marks will vanish away and you will have a seamless coating waiting for you. Clean the coating with xylene as and when needed.
