Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hello All,

I'm putting together a plan for building a Mini-Vardo. The plan is posted in the HF trailer contest thread. It's roof will be rounded from side to side, instead of front to back like a tear drop. Anyway, I was curious if anyone has used an elastomeric roof coating on a trailer? I want to coat the plywood roof with epoxy first as long as the styrene in the roof coating won't react with it. Gotta check into that first. Here's the product I'm wanting to use.

White Seal Elastomeric 100% Styrene/Acrylic Silicone Coating/Sealer

I have looked at it. What I found was most of the products I looked at said not to put them over wood. They were for over metal or felt.

You're right

I was wanting to use the stuff because I have some left over from another project. Lanco has another product that is made for wood. Ultra SIliconizer 100% Acrylic Latex Silicone Coating / Sealer. But.... if the wood is coated with epoxy, as stated in my original post, maybe the first one would work OK after all, but I still suspect there would be some interaction between the cured epoxy coating and the styrene in the White Seal product. Thanks

Steve do you think that this stuff would stay clean or be easy to keep clean? We put some of that white coating on a steel shed and after time it kinda got dirty.
Maybe this material is different.
Just thinking out loud.

The keeping it clean was a factor I have been considering too. I just scrubbed my screen room roof with bleach the other day, it was more green and black than the original white, and where the oak tree had dripped sap the black spots didn't clean off. I would probably keep a tiny travel trailer under a roof of some sort except when in use so just maybe it would stay a little cleaner.
