Hi Barney,
Is the surface finish any smoother/slicker as opposed to the matt type finish of non slick on the original?
Wonder if dirt stick and black streaks will be less? If it would that would be a nice bonus.
Keep us posted.

John,
The finish looks almost identical to when the trailer was new, maybe a bit smoother. It does not feel like it should be particularly slippery but, of course, I have not been up on it yet.
Have no idea if it will be less prone to black streaks but would sure be nice if it did.

Barney,
what do you do when you get to the AC unit, Vents and all the other items that mount to the roof?

I removed my two vent covers but left the air conditioner in place. After "cutting in" around the vents and all the other items up there I replaced the covers before doing the rest of the roof. By removing the covers, I was able to extend the rubber coating up on the vent framing.
The rubber roof under the air conditioner looked ok and the gasket didn't leak so I didn't want to disturb it by removing the unit.

I left everything in place, just used plenty of Dicor around them and let dry a few days. Got around the AC and a little under it. tat roof is not going anywhere for a long time or at least as long as I want to own that TT. Just do it.

Here is what my roof looks like now. You can also see how it is possible to paint the Liquid Roof material up around stanchions and other things like antennas etc. Please forgive the couple of bugs that decided to stick around for the duration of my trailers life.

Overall view, morning dew shows through.
Front cap. The bubbles that were there on the edge are gone.
Radio antenna. I painted right over the Eternabond Tape.
Rear cap.
Ladder stanchion.

Wow Barney, Looks Great!!! It sure looks sealed up tight.
Out of curiosity any idea on how thick it ended up being? Maybe some edge that you masked shows a thickness?

John,
The recommended thickness was 20 mills which was supposed to come out to about 40 sq. ft per gallon. I used just about all of my 5 gallons for my 30 foot trailer so, minus the roof openings, it came out just about right. I would say mine is about 20 mills thick.
I do have some areas that could be measured as you can see in my two end cap pictures the tape line but I have no way of measuring it.
Interesting note. I have a couple of pieces that dripped down and then cured. Those pieces are really and truly rubber. I can stretch them just like a rubber band (after I removed them).

A few things: - Looks really well sealed
- I see all the air bubbles are now gone
- How did you remove the drips? How well were they bonded to the sides?

I did not have any air bubbles. The bubbles that I did have seemed to be the rubber membrane itself softening and raising up. They all went away nicely though.
The drips just peeled up - once I got the end started, which was not hard.
