At an expected coverage of 1L to 1m 2, pour the desired amount of liquid rubber onto the roof, and spread across the area using a roller or brush. Once the roof is coated evenly, leave to dry. PLASTI DIP is an air dry, synthetic rubber coating that can be easily applied by spraying, brushing or dipping. Once the liquid rubber coating is applied, it needs to cure. Though it is touch dry in only a few hours, it will take 48 to 72 hours for the coating to be fully cured and bonded to the substrate. After this point usual traffic and usage may resume. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY– Water based and VOC free, these products will not harm you or the water table.

Of course, you can work your way around the van and clean all of the seals before going on to the next stage of maintenance; but with the windows wide open, be careful that you Shake the can: Before using the spray adhesive, shake the can well for at least 10-15 seconds to ensure that the adhesive is well-mixed. Then, using only clean water and a cloth, clean the rubbers, wiping all the way around the window aperture. Leather and Vinyl seats, Dashboards and Door cards, whatever your job ColorBond is easy to apply with startling results. For the past eight years, we’ve had a Dometic toilet fitted in our caravans, and we’ve had no issue with them. They might perhaps require a little more maintenance than the Thetford models. However, much of what I’m about to outline below will be relevant to both brands.

Metal: reduces vibration, deadens sound, prevents corrosion, insulates electrically and from extreme temperatures. Prepare the work area: Cover any surfaces that you do not want to get adhesive on, such as floors or nearby objects. Make sure the area is well-ventilated to prevent fumes from building up. GREAT ADHESION– Liquid rubber paint can be applied to concrete, stone, metal, bitumen, EPDM, wood, PVC, metals, and zinc. It adheres fully to the substrate whatever the material, sealing the substrate and keeping corrosive elements away. It's important to note that not all foam materials are created equal, and some adhesives may work better with certain types of foam than others. Be sure to read the product specifications and choose an adhesive that is appropriate for your specific foam material and application and to always test it first.

Lubricate the rubber seals by spraying silicone lubricant onto a cloth and wiping it around the seal. I recommend spraying this onto the cloth, as opposed to directly onto the seal, because the stuff tends to go everywhere if you’re not careful. Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive - This adhesive is a high-strength formula that can bond a wide range of materials, including foam. It is heat and moisture resistant and provides a long-lasting bond. PLASTI DIP coats and gives a comfortable, controlled, color coded grip to all types of tools; lawn and garden, mechanical, electrical, woodworking and masonry. Finally, smear the top of the large rubber seal with silicone grease (if you don’t have any, at least give it a spray with silicone lubricant, although the grease is better). As with the other rubber seals, only clean initially with water if necessary and nothing else. I just tend to use a dry paper towel for this. It’s important to note here that you shouldn’t be tempted to use WD-40 multipurpose lubricant, because that could react with the seal and cause more problems.With the Dometic toilet, first pull out the lever to open the blade, and looking underneath, you’ll see two metal rods that the lever slides on. Give both of these a good squirt of silicone lubricant. It’s amazing how freely the lever will then slide. The reason for the continued success of liquid rubber coating is simple: in terms of waterproofing it outperforms the alternatives. This is why one of liquid rubber’s most important applications is flat roofing. The qualities that make liquid rubber coating the choice for waterproofing are: UV STABILITY– The coating stays flexible for longer and does not chalk, embrittle, or lose strength with exposure to UV radiation. Liquid rubber paint is heat, chemical, weather, and impact resistant, as well as being flexible. In this article we will outline the benefits and applications of liquid rubber coating products, as well as where to find them in the UK. Having adopted this basic maintenance regime several years ago, we’ve thankfully never had any difficulty with jammed windows or problems with the toilet.

CHEMICAL AND WEATHER RESISTANT– Rubber is chemically resistant to most corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents, both liquids and gases. Liquid rubber can protect a substrate from chemicals in tanks, as well as corrosive environments like factories or plants. The heat resistance, waterproofing, salt resistance, and UV stability mean liquid rubber is extremely weather-proof. It must be a silicone lubricant, such as (confusingly) WD-40 Specialist High-Performance Silicone Lubricant, or Thetford Seal Lubricant. Because of the unique combination of versatility, flexibility, and high performance, there are many areas which can benefit from liquid rubber coating, including roofing, concrete sealing (and protecting steel reinforcement), environmental protection barriers, and waterproofing ponds, planters and basements.

There are several 3M spray adhesives that work well for foam, depending on the specific application and type of foam being used. Here are a few options: With everything closed again, remove the toilet cassette (this applies to both Dometic and Thetford models), so that you can begin work on it. Once you’ve managed to open the window and hopefully find there’s no damage, you’ll be able to proceed with essential maintenance steps.

Spray silicone lubricant onto a clean cloth, rather than directly onto the rubber seals Wipe down all of the rubber seals with the silicone lubricant spray Whatever you do, don’t force it open, because you’re more than likely going to tear the seal, which would then need replacing to prevent leaks, and that isn’t a two-minute job. NON-PERMEABLE– Liquid rubber paint creates an impermeable barrier between the substrate and the environment. They can withstand ponding water for flat roofs, or be used in overspill containment. They are waterproof, vapour tight, air and gas barriers. The benefit of having a liquid rubber waterproofing paint for roofs installed is that there is limited down time, limited work hours, and so limited extra costs. The basic application process for waterproofing a flat roof might look as follows: FLEXIBLE– Liquid rubber coating has an elongation capability of up to 900%. It can flex and stretch with a substrate through heating and cooling (from -40°C to 160°C) without damaging, unlike other coatings such as bitumen which are far more brittle.
