Oh no! Camper is soaked! Help...

use one solid piece across the roof. You can pull the protectant layer of film off as you go, a few inches at a time.

Thanks for chiming in. That's what I wasn't sure about. I would think that using a chalk-line would help a lot toward getting it straight.

I have 5,000 sq ft of that stuff on the roof of our apt building (yep...exactly the same stuff, just wider strips). I know that once it touches down, there is no 2nd chance on straightening it out .

WOW, that's a lot of EternaBond Wayne. I know what a roll cost me, hate to see the bill for that roof.
One more thing to interject here, don't cover the camper until it is dried out. A cover will hold moisture and cause mold if there is any wet still there.

Your roll was about 12.5 sq ft,  @ about $60 a roll, that's $4.80 sq ft.

They put down 2 layers of that stuff on my 5K sq ft roof (that pic is only 1 of 5 sections of roof) so that's 10K sq ft of material. I can tell you that I paid about double what you paid for yours but mine included labor and a whole lot of other stuff. Bottom line is though, that's not a bad price for such a small qty of that stuff. I think that the material costs on our roof (for the roofing material alone) was around $3.20 sq ft.

Ertrabond is a wonderful sealant.

Easier to work with in the sun or on a warmer day.
The sealant is visible on the edges of the tape.
No need to remove old caulk.
The sealant is visible on the edges of the tape and never cures (collects dirt)
The 2" wide Roof Seal White is a good size to cover existing chaulk joints on each side of the roof.

coach, all the research I found says to remove all the existing caulk before laying down EternaBond. If the old caulk dries out and lets go, the EB tape has nothing to hold on to except the old caulk. With the cost and time to do this job it is not one I ever want to repeat if possible.
That price is amazing though on the site you linked. I know the cost of my 2" X 50' roll was more than double that.

WOW Wayne, that means you spent close to $100,000 for a new roof?
Things ARE pricey in Beverly Hills. I could buy a couple of houses here for that. (yea, they would need work, BUT.....)

$80K but who's counting......:p.............thankfully, I didn't have to pay for it. I just manage the place.

I wouldn't use it if I had to remove the caulk from the joint.
The 2" tape will overlap a 1/4" caulk line nearly a inch on each side.
Let the sun warm it up.
The key is the micosealant.
I'm glad I never read anything about removing old caulk.

coach-
I wish that video was available before I did mine. That is the best introduction to EternaBond tape I have ever seen.
Wonder if I can get a refund on all the elbow grease I spent removing caulk?
