Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

UPDATE


Last month, I noticed a drip inside our yurt during a medium rain. Then I noticed another, and another, and so forth. I looked behind the insulation and saw countless pin holes in the...

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

I'm sure you've come up with something by now. However, if by some chance you didn't......read post #17 in this thread. It is my experience using Gaco silicone paint...on vinyl.



For all...

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Hi - Not sure who your response was to but my vinyl cover was welded together with heat. I actually replaced several sections with new vinyl by welding with a special heat gun and roller. It's a...

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Hi Meg,

It's good to hear that others have used Gaco with success too. Was the fabric they applied the Gaco on the same as yours?

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Oh, and the only tip I have for painting is to make sure your cover is as clean as you can get it....and dry. With canvas, you might just scrub it with hot soapy water....or take it to a car wash....

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Hi Meg,

I'm not sure how much help I can offer given that my only experience is with Gaco on vinyl which is what my yurt cover is made from. If you could describe the "Test kit" and how it didn't...

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Hi,

I was just there 10 days ago and thus far, it looks to have wintered well. A small amount of the silicone was rubbed off where ropes and bungees holding down a window flap have rubbed against...

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Well, after much Internet research, many phone calls, testing, and stress, I finally did it.

Re: Roll on or paint on roof sealant for many small holes?

Excellent. Thanks! Is this something that is commonly done...or at least something that has been tried and tested? If so, very roughly, how much additional life could one expect....a year, maybe two?
