Q:Can this product be used on rubber RV roofs?
by|Apr 30, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Roger, if your question refers to an EPDM membrane as a rubber roof then we would not recommend that type of application. EPDM is a membrane similar to an inner tube and not many products adhere well to it. The only product that we would recommend for an EPDM roof would be Henry 887 TropiCool 100% Silicone because of its outstanding adhesive qualities. Henry 887 forms a very strong chemical bond to the surface as opposed to the physical bond formed by acrylic coatings such as Henry 287 Solar-Flex. In addition Henry 887 is waterproof and has a lifetime warranty.

    Q:Can I use on a regular pitched roof- not low slope?
    by|Apr 24, 2024
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Annielee, as long as the roof does not have shingles you probably could apply Henry 287 to a pitched roof. You would need to apply it in many thin coats since it is a fairly thick product and would have a tendency to slump or run to the lowest point resulting in pooling at the bottom of the roof. We would not be able to warranty this type of application and it is not something that we would recommend doing.

      Q:How many square feet does a 5 gallon bucket cover
      by|Apr 12, 2024
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Tommy, the coverage rate of Henry 287 Solar-Flex is 100 square feet per gallon. If this is the first time you are coating the roof you will need to apply two coats to the surface. Apply the second coat perpendicular to the first coat or one coat north and south and the second coat east and west.

        Q:can you use a Wagner sprayer to apply this? if so what size tip is used?
        by|Apr 11, 2024
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Robert, most paint sprayers, unless they are commercial rigs are not suited for spraying a roof coating since they are so thick. They are thick for a reason since with a roof coating you are not just putting a thin reflective covering on the roof, you are applying the product to a specific mil thickness to shield the roof from the penetrating UV rays of the sun. You would need a sprayer that can produce1,500 PSI, spray at 2 gallons per minute with a tip size of 0.30 to 0.40

          Not worth my time or money
          After a couple of weeks, the paint eroded off in San Francisco rains. Save yourself the hassle of recleaning, and use silicone sealer paint.

            Works as Advertised!
            I have central air in my mobile home, but the air conditioner couldn't cool the inside to a temperature that was cooler than the outdoor temperature without running continuously. I applied Henry's 287 to the roof of my mobile home today and for the first time this summer, the inside of my mobile home is cooler than the outside temperature! My air conditioner is running much less and the mobile home stays cool. Only time will tell if the product will last the advertised 7 years, but at this point, i have no reason to doubt that claim. Had I known this product worked, I probably would've used Henry's 887, which has a lifetime warranty.

              Waste of money
              24 hrs after application, not expecting rain, but it did rain and most of the product just ran off the roof, down the gutter and all over my driveway. White paint everywhere. It was dry to the touch last night and back to liquid state again today. It was applied to clean almost flat asphalt roll roofing, as per directions Not impressed and not sure what to do now.

              Looks nice, should save on utility bill
              After just a little practice, it applies easily and looks very nice on our double wide mobile home. Well worth the work
