Thanks for going into depth on these products . . display and pulling on them was excellent presentation ! ✅A real review, and yes- camera man questioning out loud what we all wonder too ✅
Updates?about to seal my 91 toyota motorhome......looking for a easy nice roll out finish......btw does your camera guy have roller skills? or it a man's job to roll it out with a hand roller on a 16x8 roof
Your son is very cute, but get a tripod and eliminate the shaking. Also, don't tell him to get you in the frame, we need to see closeups of the product. He was zooming in nicely before you told him to stand back and fit you in. This is a common amateur mistake. The kid's instincts were right on target. You should NOT be in the frame 85% of the time. The subject here is the paint. He is a natural photographer. Give him a tripod so he is steady. It took more than half the video to get to the point. Too much talk. Tell us main points. The kid also asked a very good question: "Why do you need to get the window out?" The answer is: Sooner or later, everything in an RV will need to be replaced. So you want those options. You did not use the patch sealant correctly. It is not meant for windows, but for tears in your rubber roof or holes, or cracks. Use it before top coating with Silicone Roof coating. Looks like you do little analysis and jump into the task. Not wise. What you need for your windows is Butyl Tape. Remove window frame on exterior side. Clean up rim by scraping and also alcohol or acetone. Lay a strip of butyl tape all along the perimeter frame. Lay your metal frame back on and screw into place. Seal top edge off with some Black or Clear Sikaflex caulk or silicone caulk. Smooth into place. The butyl tape keeps moisture out effectively but it is sandwiched between RV and rim. Use same butyl tape for other areas like lights, license plate light seal, etc. Henry's Tropi-Cool comes in two flavors: Regular and HS or High Solids. The HS is more environmentally friendly but needs stirring during use. You have only one option for roof coating and that is Silicone. The other option which is Acrylic, goes by all sorts of names - Elastomer, Rubber, etc. It is Acrylic paint same as Latex paint for your house. Useless. If you have water pooling on roof, the acrylic will bubble up and/or dissolve and wash off. With silicone, you have complete waterproofing, UV resistance, leak sealing, insulation, some degree of noise dampening. On the down side, it is pricey, attracts dirt, and is slippery. The other options for roof coatings are Durabak or similar moisture cured Polyurethane bedliner paint that can be applied with a roller brush, and Polyurea, same thing that coats garage floors. Polyurea is amazing stuff but very pricey and technical in application. Durabak is easy to apply.
Camera guy did actually do a great job. You should be proud, plus him asking questions about why would ppl take window back out and the teaching him was great. thanks for the video.
Funny how people doing videos think they need to be in the frame..... worst thing about watching you tube!....I would rather look at the project and listen instead of watching someones mug rap about it.....
YOU need to go easy on your camera guy. He's brighter than you give him credit for. Build up his confidence, don't "Tear" it down on youtube.Anywho, thanks for the Vid. Learned a lot.
Another reason why you might have to remove the windows is to repair or replace the plastic broken window latches. Most people don't think about that till it's too late when you're window is stuck closed or opened, you're lucky if the latch breaks while it's closed..
My experience with a metal roof on our small truck camper .... worked awesome and far exceeded my expectations ...... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gC9BY_7Sbgw.html
Thanks you sir, you made my evening, I am working on my 1985 prowler with an aluminium roof repair This is a genuine video👏🏾🇯🇲🇨🇦, I was laughing 😆. Very informative.
Howdy! We have the same experience with Henry's Tropi-Cool 887. For the price it is the best stuff I have found. Love the video! Here is our video on how our application went on our 5th wheel. Happy Trails!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2bA9SPbsL2Q.html And our review ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d8GP-GUsCJg.html
You said at the end of the video that your seam sealed everything but it looks like it was white. Wasn’t the seam sealer gray? Or did you use the Tropicool roof repair/ patch that comes in either a can or tube (for use with caulk guns)? Thx.
No, we don’t have to have you in every frame. In fact, you are correct! Lol! Your done was doing a great job before you told him to zoom out. He knew what he was doing when he focused on the patches. I wanted to see for myself what the effect was when you pulled off the tape. Saw it on the one-coat patch but not on the two-coat patch. Maybe next time.
Yes it was funny we were laughing after we watched the video together. He was doing great and better before i said anything. Yes i used the Henry's stuff in the gallon bucket that is thick. We smeared it with latex gloves on
Yes, I agree. His son is a natural at photography dad should not give directions. I was disappointed when he walked back and I could not see the paint close up. You should never make yourself the subject of the video, and not be in the frame. Focus on van not man.
I LOVE my Henri Tropicool roof coating!! I’ve had it on my porch roof for 3 years now n it’s as good as the first day I applied it. I prep’d the metal roof really, really well bc we’ll retire in this house in a few years; I don’t want to have to worry about any roof I work on ever again. The warranty is 50 years. I think we’ll make the next 20 no worries at all. I opted for the tan. It was a special order but I live in a dark brick home so white would have been too much against the brick. They also had a couple of grays but the tan was closer to the reflective value of white than the other custom order colors (think there are about 3 or 4, but if white works, it’s MUCH less expensive). Thanks for the videos!
