Do you really need to coat the roof with an asphalt primer first. If yes, which one?

No, you do not have to. However, the manufacturer says you have to for warranty reasons. I just laid the peel and seal right over my existing roof coating. It adheres really well, especially to it self for a really good seal at the seams. Also, good luck finding the asphalt primer. No one that I spoke to knew what I was talking about when I inquired about it, even our wonderful big box home improvement stores. hope this helps. good luck with the roof.

I cleaned my aluminum RV roof with a broom and some light household cleaning fluid, and let it dry. I installed my Peel n Seal roof in 2010, and it's still looking brand new. Seams are sticking perfectly, and no leaks most importantly. I applied min in October when it was a bit chilly, so I used a heat gun to help melt the adhesive when I rolled it over the roof edge to ensure a good seal. I'm glad I did, as it's held up incredibly well.

All I did was clean the roof (flat rolled roofing) with a leaf blower. I have not had any problems over the last few years.

Yes, you need both a base coat & top coat. I use the top coat by gellish :)

I think it's best to use one of Ames' overcoatings first. Given them a call to get recommendation for your application.

I used a primer first just becase I was priming the rest of the room. I don't see any problem with just painting over it. It is vinyl and heavy enough paper to not have any problems.

Yes you do, but its not a big deal. 2 small holes for the mounting bracjets and 1 sightly larger hole for the wire (ab I ut as thick as an extensiin cord. Make as small of holes as possible for best waterproofing and durability. Use silicone caulk around the where the wire meets your roof for more waterproofing, and around the base of the feet. Smooth caulk with finger and youre good to go!

Yes. Both. Parts of the roof are included. Our roof looks great. It was not too difficult to do. Be sure to have a squeegee to spread the stuff before rolling it.

I didn't use any under coat or primer. I applied two light coatings and it has held up nicely. Sorry for the delay in answering your question... I hope this was helpful.

Preparation was the key to success. I used a long handle bristle brush, used a "Simple Green" solution to remove the old paint, then rinsed the roof and allowed to dry, thoroughly. Worked well for me.Be careful in warm weather as the expoxy will cure rather fast. Hint- mix small batches when it's hot.Great product.

I have no idea but I would contact the manufacturer of both the roof and the coating before using.

I'd use the primer for it before doing so, but I see no reason it can't be after that, as thats what I did. But you'd also want to "level" the joints in the existing tile before you do, so its not as simple as peel and stick if you want it right.

No, this product is not a base for primer and paint. It is a natural weathering preservative. If you want the wood siding to look "aged" then use it. If you want to prime & paint for a "finished" look then use primer and paint.

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.

It cures with a glossy finish. A proper surface prep (scuff sand) once fully cured would be in order to maximize adhesion of any paint/primer you plan to lay over it.

Yes, of course. Just clean the roof and coat it with the rubber coating. It should stick fine.

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

I would have to say Yes. I did basically the opposite, spreading the material around the vents, AC unit, antenna mount and edges of the roof. Then the same day filled in the rest of the roof. About a week later I noticed areas that were not well covered and went over those spots with extra material. It is not the most even job that could be done but it is all covered with a relatively thick coat. Just remember to refridgerate the unused portion below 40 degree, covered so as not to get a thick film on top. I used a gallon plastic pan to store the extra material with a plastic bag covering the pan. I should have placed plastic wrap floating on top of the material then covered it all to stop a thick coat of film. Good luck with covering your roof, it is a lot of work that will pay off in the end.

Use sealant BEFORE the wax. The sealant will last longer, so you want the short-term stuff on the outside. The wax is optional, only used to enhance the shine of the sealant. Personally, unless it's a show car I would probably skip the wax because it only lasts a few weeks and just gives a little more shine.
