BWW Project #48: Rubber Roof Repair
The 3 season sunroom at the back of the house has stains appearing on the ceiling even after it was re-painted this summer by Cathy and nephew Ben.
These cracks above in the rubber roof are likely the cause. There are some very good YouTube videos on this subject and how to repair them. Basically the product Super Silicon, bought in a half-gallon can that comes with fleece included, is considered a very strong fix. First, mineral spirits on a rag to clean off the rubber, followed by painting on a good cover.
Then place the fleece right on the top of the super silicon. It starts incorporating right away.
Paint another layer over the top, completely covering the fleece and you are finished! Now it looks pretty good. The rain and snow and ice over the winter will test it. In the spring we'll apply Kilz to the ceiling below and see if the problem is cured.
