Page 12

PREPARATION WITH MASKING TAPEAfter cleaning the roof and removing all sealants, the next step in preparing theroof is to tape off areas where you do not want FlexRock Coatings to adhere.Utilize common blue painter’s tape to mark off fixtures and edges like skylights,railings, and end caps. Remember to remove the tape while the membrane is still wet to prevent edgepulling; apply tape in 4-6-foot sections or smaller for easier removal during theapplication of FlexRock Coatings. Place a clean line of tape on the front and back caps extending beyond any roofpenetrations, and a few inches past termination bars for a polished appearance. After cleaning the roof and securing the taped areas, proceed with installing theFlexRock Coatings System!SkylightsEdgesVentsAntennaAC UnitsSolar PanelsEnd CapsTap GuttersMasking TapeMARK OFF ANDPROTECTREMOVE WHEN STILL WETREMOVE OR TAPE OFFVENT COVERSApply masking tape to the areaswhere you do not want FlexRock toadhere.

After sealing all penetrations andcutting in the roof around fixtures, it's time toapply the base layer to the main body of theroof. This step is particularly gratifying asyou witness the full application taking shape.Prior to rolling out the base layer, it is advisable to use a leaf blower to eliminate any dry particlesthat may have been brought onto the roof. This ensures that unwanted debris is cleared before thebase layer is applied.Start by preparing a roller frame and a ½” nap roller attached to an extensionpole. Have an open container of FlexRock Silicone base layer and the roller onan extension pole ready for the following steps.It's recommended to wear shoe covers or socks without shoes while applyingthe base layer! This will help maintain a clean roof surface during application.Begin at the part of the roof farthest from where you will exit!

Experience advantage of PolyRubex application with twostraightforward methods. The first, "Broadcasting," involves simplysprinkling the material onto the wet base coat, creating a cushionedlayer. This layer can then be coated smoothly with a single application orfurther enhanced by adding a second coat with PolyRubex mixed intothe silicone topcoat. With these techniques, enjoy enhanced sounddampening and insulation for your roof, effortlessly elevating itsprotection.Infused BinderTo smooth out and add seal in thePolyRubex add a Final Coat of FX-HSSiliconeOR

Ensure the PolyRubex is clean, dry,and free of any debris or contaminants.2 Consider Having Assistance: - For ease and safety, it may be helpful to have two people broadcasting onto the roof. In thiscase, one person can remain on the ground to support and hand materials to the person on theroof.3. Set Up Ladder Safely: - If using a ladder, ensure it is set up securely on a stable surface, such as the side of the RV. - Follow ladder safety guidelines and have one person hold the ladder steady while the otherclimbs.Applying The PolyRubexHow to Broadcast PolyRubexThe process involves sprinklingPolyRubex on to the wet roof coating.5. Cleanup Preparation: - Consider using a tarp or drop cloth on the sides of the RV to catch any excess PolyRubex andfacilitate cleanup later. EXCESS IS REMOVED READY FOR TOP COAT

Work in Sections: - Divide the roof into manageable sections to ensure thorough coverage. - Continue broadcasting the PolyRubex section by section until the entire roof is covered.Inspect for Uniformity: - Periodically stop and visually inspect the surface to ensure the PolyRubex is evenly distributed. - Adjust your broadcasting technique if needed to achieve uniform coverage.Repeat if Necessary: - If the first pass does not provide adequate coverage, apply additional PolyRubex as needed to achieve thedesired thickness and texture. Complete the Broadcast: - Continue broadcasting PolyRubex until the entire surface is covered uniformly and to the desired thickness. - Ensure that all excess PolyRubex is removed from the edges and corners of the roof.Allow Cure Time: - Once the PolyRubex is fully broadcasted, allow the silicone to cure according to the manufacturer'sinstructions before proceeding with any additional steps.How to Broadcast PolyRubex
