I have been following the Eternabond posts on the forum. Several people have applied Eternabond to areas on the roof, including the seam at the wall.
I have put the 4" Eternabond on the front and rear cap seams (EPDM roof). Now I would like to cut it lengthwise and apply it over the wall seam. Unfortunately, the metal trim piece only has about 1/8" of flat area on the front of it above the plastic insert (that covers the screws). Is that enough width to keep the edge of the Eternabond glued down? I would be covering over the original caulk that is on top of the molding. I imagine that you wouldn't want to continue the Eternabond over the entire metal piece, covering the plastic insert, which would prevent access to removal of the plastic insert. Or would that be the way to go for better adhesion?
I would like to hear from those that have applied the Eternabond to the roof/wall seam area.
This is my roof seam and I think I used a strip that was 1.5" wide.
and
Here is the front seam on my trailer where water runoff would go over the seal between the front cap and the front of the trailer.
The roof seam is still good with no lifting after almost 18 months. I only have about 6 months on my front seam job. IMHO you must use lacquer thinner and get the metal really clean to get it to hold properly.
You can see all the other applications where I used the Eternabond in the link in my signature. I think I've used it in about every way possible on a trailer.
I did not do mine yet but I am planning to do this fall and I plan to put the Eternabond over the screws into the gutter.
