The RV Flex Repair 100% Silicone Roof Coating Sealant is a moisture cure product which means it uses moisture (humidity) from the air to initiate cross linking of the ingredients. This builds the strength and adhesion. As long as you have some humidity (ie. 20%) and higher temperatures, curing will be in the 1-2 day range. When you get into low temperatures and low humidity, curing can take 3-4 days. Ideal humidity is around 50% and temperatures of 75F.

Can you get other colors than White, like Grey?

To get custom colors like Grey and Tan, contact support to determine how long it will take.

Storage & Cleaning

Store products in a dry, cool, indoor room with low humidity. If you need to store an opened can or pail of the coating, you can place a piece of plastic on the surface to help prevent surface curing. When ready to use, take off the plastic and any surface curing can be peeled off. Mix well before use. Dispose of brushes, rollers and gloves, do not try and clean them. Wash hands with soap, warm water and a bristle brush.
