Exactly the demo I was looking for! Not a short-cut, not a pro-job. Not patronizing, not technical-complex. Exactly to-the-point. Useful. Entertaining.
This stuff was a game changer, I had previously changed all the seals, re did all the rail seals and still kept having a leak which just appeared on the top of one of the windows in my office converted caravan. I suspected it might be a slight crack in the fibreglass but could not find it no matter how much I searched and tested. Followed this video and the leak is gone. Have already recommended to a neighbour who has a leaking garage roof and he has used it to fix that. Truly great product.
Loved this video. I was looking at your skylight thinking how on earth can you do such a beautiful job with that not scrubbed. Ive never been OCD till now 😂😂
Hello again so sorry to be a pain. I’ve done the roof with cromapol (they sent the black not the white) but I’ve had negative comments from people who are saying it will come away in heat in summer? Please tell me this isn’t true because I did it yesterday and we had heavy rain last night and it’s worked. It’s all dry inside
Could i put this on the external wall of my mercedes 814 converted horsebox that's leaking where i think the aluminium is corroding where the sheets meet witht he steel uprights that are on the outside of thew aluminium sheets?
Hi, great informative and, funny video, would you mind telling me if its still ok, now its sept, as i was going to buy some on the strengh of your vid, but was informed that its not suitable for fibre glass roofs, probably is, but i want to make sure before i commit myself, regards bob
Hi Mike Thanks for the info,can I ask is there a reason why yo did not use a roller, also what was the size and strength of your paint brush please. 🐧🐧
It would be like trying to spread treacle with a roller, it doesn't roll. The best paintbrush for this is one you're happy to chuck at the end of the job but I used a normal emulsion brush and I guess 3"
Hi Mike, how is the motorhome doing a year on? I am looking to do the same thing as I have a leak in my van. :( And came across your video many thanks Jonny and Jenny
I’m not bothered about what it looks like, only police helicopters can see my roof lol. If I bought 10 litres of this stuff and layered it on over the whole of my van do you think the leaks would stop. It’s getting on my wick now. Would you ring me later to talk me thru it
I shared what I did on van life uk group on FB and most people were positive but a few were negative and quite mean. Now I’m worried. I did it yesterday and it rained heavily last night and I just checked inside and it’s bone dry. Someone said it will crack off in summer when it gets heat on the roof? Are they correct? Thank you in advance

Brilliant video. Thank you. Just about to do my old felt roof on an extension so it was great watching a real-life video.

Great info, thanks. Will attempt this when or if there is a summer's day this year. Can you also do a follow up with guidance on cleaning skylights.
Great video, how long did it stay waterproof?
In pooling water really didn't last long on my garage has to redo I been researching a while and found a product called owl 20 looks serious for Leaks

It will not come away I did my shed roof with the black. over a year ago and we had some very hot days this summer it's been fine. Don't worry

Also how long would a repair like this last? Desperate for help hun my van is letting in water and getting ruined xx
Thanks Mike. Great vid! Hope to find product in the States.
Did you use clart as a verb 🤣

Hi Bob, my roof is aluminium I don't know about application on fibreglass, it would be worth contacting cromapol or whoever makes it
Hi, I was wondering how your motorhome roof fared over winter? Did it get any more of the usual green mould due to the fibrous finish?
Yeah. I want to know this. About to mine
Yes, loads of mossy stuff just given it a good scrub and it's mostly white again!
Need to try this on my Talbot motorhome roof but I think if I stand on the roof it might collapse😩
hi im the same did you try this?
Hi Mike

great video..helped alot..I guess the size of your 5KG tin would be around the size of a 5ltr tin of paint?
I would guess so, I used way too much initially, 5kg should have easily covered the whole roof
Hi Mike, how is the motorhome doing a year on? I am looking to do the same thing as I have a leak in my van. :( And came across your video many thanks Jonny and Jenny
Van now sold but Cromapol was excellent. Would recommend a few coats and you can get a smoother finish with a bit more time and patience.

@@louiseblack3337 I have done this on my van and no leaks 👍

Acrylic Waterproofing ?
hows it holding up
Good video mate,how close did you take the cromapol to the edge?
Lapped over the edge rail on the horizontal right to the edge before it drops down the side of the van
Did this actually set hard where you can walk on it?... I thought Cromapol never actually set
yep, it set
What's the name of the sealant, can't seem to catch the name
Crompol
Where can I buy this?
I bought it from eBay
Hi is there a difference between cryapol and cromapol?
Thanks
Never heard of the other one, sorry.
Hi mike is your roof fibreglass or aluminium ?
It's aluminium, not sure about application on fibreglass but it seems to stick to most stuff including North Face coats.
next on the list, lol
Really is a quick and easy job but very effective
