Right Time and Frequency to Use Liquid Rubber

Cooler parts of the day are best for recoating, so aim for early mornings or evenings. Dry weather is crucial as Liquid Rubber takes up to 48 hours to fully bond.

Check your roof every six months, but recoating? That's an every 2-4 years task, depending on your travel and the local climate. Post-storm checks are always wise, too.

Watch for sneaky signs of damage like rust, musty smells, discolouration, or unexpected drafts. They're your caravan's cry for help!

Your caravan is more than a mobile hat; it shouldn't have a drip for a brim. Show it some love with a Liquid Rubber roof recoating, ensuring it's a dry haven during your Aussie escapades. Happy journeying, friends!
