Liquid Rubber Waterproofing and Protective Coating - Roll On (32 oz)

I bought Rubberseal Roll On to coat the inside of a plywood vivarium (48"L x 28"width (depth) x 72"H). I needed water resistant top and sides so coated the top half with 1/32 of an inch (30 mil) and the lower half and bottom with a thicker coat of about 1/16 of an inch (60mil) to get a waterproof seal. I used a roller for the top sides and a brush to coat the corners. A brush will let you lay this on thick. I have some very thick areas on the bottom especially in corners where plywood meets the frame. Be aware this takes at least 72 hrs to dry and not be tacky to the touch and depending on thickness can take longer.Other products I used with Rubberseal Roll On:I was concerned that silicone will not adhere to the rubber but it worked beautifully. I used GE 100% Silicone I (black). I added cork sheets to the upper walls and coconut coir over the silicone in other areas.Great Stuff adhered with no problem also. And once carved and shaped you can use the black silicone to blend it in. I used globs on the walls and used them for plant anchor points.Liquid Nails will adhere to the rubber also, but takes a bit for it to get a good grip. you may need to tape things in place till the glue dries.Tips:you may scratch the rubber off the walls with decor (adding large branches and such) if you are not careful. Silicone can touch up these spots or if you have some RubberSeal left over you can re-touchup as needed.Wear gloves as this becomes extremely sticky and buy 3 or 4 cheap paint brushes or rollers for each day you are going to add a coat since the RubberSeal will dry to the brush/roller and make it unusable after a few hours.The one gallon can I bought was just enough for this size build. I could have used another quart to really get a thicker coat all around but for my purposes this was enough. Keep in mind I had a large acrylic front door so I didn't need to coat the front of the viv all that much. If you plan on using it for a plywood aquarium this size you would need 2 gallons or more to get 60 mils+ all over (1/16"+).Overall I am very pleased with the product, especially since I used it in an unconventional way.

I was able to use it to seal up a small waterfall with no problem. I gave it three or four coats waiting an hour between each coat. The only issue I had was that once I was done I had to throw the brushes away. Each coat needed a new brush. No way to clean this stuff off of it. Thank goodness for dollar store paint brushes. It did look brown when painting it on but it dried black. I gave it several days to fully dry as it tended to stay a bit tacky even in hot West Texas weather. Once I was satisfied with it I went ahead and spray painted it the color I wanted. (The waterfall I built has a red lava look.) Seems to be pretty good stuff, but your brushes are trash. Fortunately, the job I did wasn't finish work and could be sloppy. Cleanup might be a pain with this stuff.

When we had that big storm a couple of weeks ago water got into my basement. I had to live work early. I found out there were "Cracks in the Foundation" around the back of the house. I brought a gallon of Rubber Seal and used liquid cement from a small bucket. Also added Extend-A-Spout extentions. No More Water in the basement!!! Two coats of Rubber Seal in the cracks then put down the Rubber sealTM Geotextile Fabric Roll, then another coat of Rubber Seal on the Geotextile Fabric Roll. All the black is the Rubber Seal and the thick Black is the Rubber Seal Geotextile Fabric Roll (stayed in place after I put the third coat of Rubber Seal on top of it).(Helps Bridge Gaps and Waterproof Corners of Structures)https://www.amazon.com/RubbersealTM-Geotextile-Fabric-Roll-50x10/dp/B00R1R3T94/ref=pd_bxgy_60_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KYJWQ1D5M4DYQVNPJQ4XI used Extend-A-Spouts and two extenstion each side the downspouts.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ET2ZDC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used this product to repair a roofing leak. I have used other products in the past, but nothing near as easy to apply and has the same results. The large pail is pricy but product seems superior to anything I've ever used. It dries quickly and remains rubbery and very pliable. Other materials turned out dry and hard. And then later cracked. I have two room additions on our vacation home. The roofing seams expand and contract with the seasons. I believe that the elasticity of this product is what separates from others. Again, while I thought it was expensive, but the quality and ease of application makes it a worthwhile choice. I have two more gallons to seal the ornamental pond in the spring. Application with a paint roller on a pole is so very easy.
