    OK someone explain to this "Oldman" why is this post re-appearing. I thought it was resolved a short time back????? Someone make a mistake and hit the wrong Key on their keyboard?????

    Or are we now gone from a Metal Roof Coating to "How to install a Rubber Roof"??? If that is the case I suggest going to You Tube as I seen several videos and "How Too" there for Rubber Roof Installation. If I can find it again I'll add it to this posters request.

    Wishing all a good day and a better one tomorrow from central Mich. in the small town of Owosso

    If this copy/paste of the You Tube works it will give us a link where you can click on and see many different applications of Rubber Roofs. Hopefully you can find the information you need.

    Well the link worked for me...Good Luck

    if this is the same roof you were asking about earlier, patch the hole with galvanized sheet metal before installing the rubber roof.
    Since the membrane is stretched and fastened to the existing roof, you will need to make sure the surface is solid.

    The other way I have done mobile home roofs is to install 3" channel panels above the existing roof.

    I have used EPDM for potable water catchment and it is very flexible usage.  There are a few tips I'd share, if you were still interested.  In all seriousness, I saw an "older mobile home" completely spray-foamed and painted.  Just as the roofs and buildings are sprayed in Northern NM.
