RV roof tape is a vital tool for any RV owner looking to ensure their vehicle remains in top condition, protected from the harsh realities of the open road. This durable, adhesive solution is designed to seal leaks, bridge gaps, and reinforce vulnerable areas with ease. Whether you're dealing with unexpected damage or preemptively fortifying your RV's defenses, this RV roof seal tape provides a strong barrier that stands up to the rigors of travel.
Leaking roofs, split seams, or damage from a branch—these are frequent issues RV owners face, leaving many wondering about the best solution.
RV Flex Repair Roof Tape is specially formulated with a super sticky adhesive. This allows the tape to adhere to tough-to-stick surfaces like an EPDM rubber roof (this is the most common RV roof). It sticks to virtually all surfaces except silicone.
The tape's white top surface is not only self-compatible but also works seamlessly with the following:
To ensure a successful application of RV Flex Repair Roof Tape, follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Start with a thorough cleaning of the application area. Using acetone as a final wipe helps in creating an ideal surface for the tape to adhere to.
Step 2: Carefully remove the bottom release liner bit by bit to avoid exposing the entire adhesive surface at once. Begin applying the tape in small sections, ensuring it adheres properly without any creases.
Step 3: Once applied, smooth the tape from the center towards the edges to eliminate any air pockets or bubbles.
Step 4: Use the included seam roller to press down on the tape, securing its bond to the roof surface.
Step 5: For an even more seamless leak repair, some opt to apply RV Flex Repair 100% Silicone Roof Coating over the tape.
