Thanks for your vids - I tackled my project on my '98 Bayside yesterday after watching yours several times. 2 coats done, and I'll probably need to touch up the sides and curved areas a 3rd time. I opted to not buy the rollers with the Grizzly Grip and purchased some solvent resistant ones from Home Depot instead - I'm wondering if the result was a thinner coat then the textured roller....
how much of it did you need? mines the coleman pop up seapine i believe i took off the abs part and the foam is all in good shape I think i need to just sand the sticky off? but i didnt see in your video when you did that i was wondering do i clean with acetone first then sand im having trouble just finding out how to prep it thanks so much for helping me learn
Please watch my first video on prepping. I did a combination of sanding and light application of acetone. Acetone will melt the foam so be careful both with the foam and your hands, face, eyes. Wear proper clothing and breathing protection. Make sure the area is well ventilated and maybe have a fan running nearby. I believe I used 1 1/2 gallon but again check my entire series for all the info. I did this project 4 to 5 years ago so I don't remember everything.
If I'm understanding your question right, the original roof could support a small vehicle on top when it was new but the ABS and foam layer adhesive breaks down and causes delamination. My roof was sagging in the middle big time which the only solution to fix it was to reinforce the inside with something and I decided to use unistrut to allow the roof to get back to the original domed shape. Please watch all my videos as I cover everything and why I did things. My inner layer of ABS also delaminated. My best idea to fix it was to drill holes only thru the foam and inject gorilla glue and press up the inner ABS layer using forms until the glue bonded. Good luck with your project and hope my input helps.

Since the foam is sandwiched between the interior ceiling and the exterior roof, is is secure or was it being held in place by the exterior shell?
