Finishing the roof: Tape first or Rubber coat first?

Postby frankiekayak » Thu Sep 30, 2021 1:04 pm

Hello all,

I finished installing EDPM along the entire roof with Dicor adhesive and finished it with flashing trim along the corners. I am now ready to tape up the trim seams to the edpm.

The question is: Do I tape it first and then paint the entire EDPM with rubber paint (Heng's Roof Coat) or do I paint the roof and trim with the rubber paint and follow it up with tape the trim to the edpm after the paint job?

Which sequence would you recommend? I am thinking to tape first and paint after. Right?

The tape is Beech Lane RV roof repair tape.

TIA,
Frank
