Eternabond Redux
Inspected roof seams today (every 6 mos). Found Eternabond deterioation. It's not eterna nor is it bonded. I uploaded photos but cannot find them in this blasted system. What happened to simplicity?
(Admin: insert photos here. Thx)
Anyway, Eternabond is deteriorating badly, but just on the right fwd part of the rain gutter (sun side). Applied Eternabond June 2006, so it lasted 6 years. I'm going to order another roll & plan to apply it over the existing tape, because I doubt if I can remove the existing tape. I'd rather have a smooth surface to work with. Comments??

I guess the Edit option went away. Anyway, here are the pix: (looking down from the roof in the 1st two pix)
I peeled back about 1 1/2" in the center right of last pic to see the basic caulk line in the channel (about six years ago). Still looks good, I assume because it was protected. Would like your opinions on applying new Eternabond over old, as a partial fix.....about ten feet on the right front of the MH.

Wow. I put Ebond on my coach in late 2005 and it is still intact. I will check it again thoroughly to make sure. As good and clean as your roof looks, I am surprised at the amount of breakdown in the tape.
It can be removed but it is a chore. Using a hair dryer and some patience, you can get it off. It does seem to stick to itself so I would think you could clean the existing tape with a solvent and stick the new stuff over the old.

Not that you want to remove it, but here is a link with instructions if you change your mind.

Ah, I see, I think the post was edited after I read it. Looks interesting but the cost seems to be about the same as Eternabond (Eternabond 6"x50' = $127, QuickRoof 6"x100' $249.) But what really matters is what works best, would love to know if anyone has made any comparisons.

I have used something very similar to the Lowe's Peel and Seal stuff (may even have been just that) on a metal barn roof in the past- lasted only about a year, so was fine for a temporary patch but was not suitable for a permanent or semi-permanent fix.
Interesting that this stuff from Lowe's gets high reviews on being a sound deadening liner in automobiles.

I paid $15 for the Aluminum version at Lowes.. 6"x25'. I know the White Rubber version was about the same at Menards last I saw.
As for it not working: Dunno.. This stuff is stickier and thicker than Eternabond. Mines been on my Aluminum roof for over a year with no problems.
Anyways.. Just trying to tell you that there are options other than Eternabond... Make of it what you will.

Update on EB: Spoke w/Eternabond Rep & he sent two 3" wide rolls of EB. I applied the 3" EB over the existing 2" EB. Here's the before & after:
Couple of ripples & bubbles, but good nuf for gummint work. My secret: I have not done the other side. Soon.......

Sounds like they are going to be sending you some 4" rolls in a few years.

Was the orig. EBond you put on it the fiber backed? If so did you paint the UV resistant coating on it? I ask because it appears there is a broken joint where the roof meets the wall. When we had the Itasca several years ago I did the roof/side joints and let the EB lap over the joint into the gutter on the bottom edge and about an inch and a half out on the roof. I rolled it into place and when everything was right I coated it with the UV protectant. It was on well over 6 years and still solid as a dollar (well maybe a little more solid than the US dollar ) when we sold it three years ago. Sorry the EB has not held up like it should have. Winnebago has a good product, but they sure could do some re-designing on that particular aspect of the design.
