Roof treatments
Well, we have achieved our first goal of getting our 72 Barth roadworthy. Now I need to find out what to put on the roof. I have read quite a bit on the subject, but it is all confusing. What should I use to coat the roof? The current stuff is flaking and peeling.
Any help will be appreciated. Roy

Great stuff.....(Wear NO clothes or use NO tools that you want to keep afterwards...!)

I used Liquid Roof/Rubber before I knew about Anvil. Installing new fans and vents on my Barth allowed me to appreciate how tenacious Anvil is, even after almost 20 years. With that knowledge, I would recommend Anvil as highly as Liquid Rubber/Roof unless you have large gaps.

ditto on the liquid roof - not cheap though

the best price I found was :
http://www.jnkproducts.com/liquid_roof.htm

free shipping was a plus..

Good info, Russell,

The Manufacturer's site shows 5 gal at $185, PLUS shipping for Liquid Rubber......

The JNK Products site shows 5 gal. at $319, shipping INCLUDED, for Liquid Roof......

That leaves about $124 for freight....If I recall, I think I paid about $35 to get a bucket from PA to DC......

Summary: It's virtually the same product, so play the numbers game on shipping costs to your location to determine the best delivered price.......

Whatever you pay, the peace-of-mind for a no-leaker, spread over a useful life of a decade or so, makes the product a real value.

I ordered the 4 gallon size and it covered my 33 footer. I never looked for liquid rubber and found this site to offer the best price on liquid roof. Happy searching..
