Potion Perfection: Crafting Magical Elixirs in Bottles

Magic in a Bottle Magic has always fascinated mankind since ancient times. It is believed to have the power to bend the laws of nature and bring about extraordinary events. While magic is often associated with sleight of hand tricks performed by magicians, the idea of capturing magic in a bottle is an enchanting concept that has captured the imagination of many.

This bottle is said to hold the essence of magic itself, harnessing unimaginable power within its confines. Those who possess this bottle are believed to have control over the mystical forces of the universe.

Caution: Keep out of reach of children.

You can apply Roof-Gard to countertops, tables, painted wood, fiberglass showers, trim plastic, vinyl and leather , wheels, bumpers, fiberglass or gelcoat surfaces, running boards and valve covers. Coincidentally, I m having my fiberglas roof done as I type - it s getting FlexArmor - granted it ll cost me nearly 10X as much - but all the components come off the roof and are re-seated and sealed and it has a 100 lifetime transferable warranty.

Those who possess this bottle are believed to have control over the mystical forces of the universe.

It is said that by uttering the right incantation while holding the bottle, one can command the elements, summon mythical creatures, or conjure objects out of thin air.

Rv roof magic

You bring up some great questions! I applied the RV roof magic to my camper two years ago. I also made a video on my application. My wife and I are fulltimers. I went through so much research for the product that would suit my needs. I wanted to stay away from silicone based products and something that is the same as my current roof. This product bonds to the roof material to create a really tight (permanent) bond.
I thick coat does feel rubbery and is not chalky. It is incredibly slippery when wet.

I would recommend applying after a thorough wash. They have a wash but I used a light pressure washer, a scrub brush. Then dawn soap, bleach and then simple green. Be sure to kill all the mold you can. It will come through the coating even though it has a mildicide in it.

I also recommend to apply it under 80 degrees. It dries fast and makes a mess if not careful. I had to apply in two coats to get the right application. They suggest one coat.

I also had a few tiny bubbles pop up over time but it still does the job.

I have not had a leak since I applied it so it is doing its job. However, I feel like it might need a recoat of something in a year or two.

The product has withstood an Arizona summer heat, down pour rain storms, snow storms, and over 20k miles of travel. I do feel like it might be more reflective then the regular roof but no hard core evidence.

If you have questions, let me know, otherwise Gary from RV Roof Magic was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend emailing or calling him.

Well I have been in the commercial roofing business for 40 years and can assure you that there is no "magic" in the roofing business. I don't know how old your EPDM roof is or if it's black or white. EPDM roofs will chalk as they age. The key to recoating is good surface preparation. I would power wash the roof being careful not to get too close to the membrane or penetrations with the nozzle as this may cause damage to them. Next step would be to clean the surface with stiff fiber brush and a solution of Spic & Span or similar detergent, followed by a good rinsing with clean water. Then you could recoat with a good coating. I would recommend an acrylic coating. I would be hesitant to use a solvent based coating and would definitely not use a silicone coating as it will be difficult to make future repairs. Most repair materials will not stick to silicone. EPDM is a pretty durable membrane and will easily last 20 years. Most leaks are caused by failure of the sealant around penetrations or cuts in the membrane. I would carefully examine the sealant around your penetrations before spending the money on coating the entire roof. A good polyurethane sealant is what I use. Smearing a coating over the entire roof without examining the sealant around the penetrations may not solve the problem. Of course, if the membrane is older than 20 years a recoat may be necessary.

Well, what specific brand/product do you use on your Coach?
Is your roof EPDM?

Thank you in advance.

After visiting the site, it seems very similar to the many (safer) elastomeric products that have less documented fear of there being any water on the roofs.

Still requires priming in some cases (called "flash coat" by the company) and has special caulks to replace suspect caulks, etc. The mention of wrinkling if too thick and bubble/blisters if any water would make be leary.

I've used a few elastomeric products on home roofs and they are pretty easy, very forgiving when it came to spot retouch.

Still comes down to around the same cost, same labor, etc.

Could be down to personal choice - I usually LOVE true solvent-based products over the newer "greener" products, so maybe -. but. read on.

Coincidentally, I'm having my fiberglas roof done as I type - it's getting FlexArmor - granted it'll cost me nearly 10X as much - but all the components come off the roof and are re-seated and sealed and it has a 100% lifetime transferable warranty. Plus, these old bones won't be on the roof on hands and knees prepping and scrubbing. Maybe I'm getting too spoiled.

Do have your rig weighed after, fully loaded, because FlexArmor is not light. If they take most, if not all of the original roof off, then you should be good to go. If you add weight, you will be not only heaver, but more top heavy. Complete removal of the old roof is the best.

But in reality, magic in a bottle is nothing more than a figment of our imagination. The bottle itself is merely a vessel, incapable of holding anything beyond its physical form. Magic, if it exists at all, cannot be contained or controlled by any human means. It is a force that transcends our understanding, a phenomenon that defies explanation. Nevertheless, the concept of magic in a bottle continues to captivate our minds. It represents our longing for extraordinary powers and the desire to possess something beyond our grasp. It is a symbol of our innate fascination with the unknown and our relentless pursuit of the impossible. Whether or not magic exists, the idea of magic in a bottle serves as a reminder of the limits of our understanding and the vastness of the universe. It encourages us to dream, to imagine, and to explore the boundaries of our own reality. As we gaze upon a glass bottle adorned with swirling colors, let us remember that true magic cannot be tamed or restrained. It is an intangible force that exists in the realm of dreams and imagination, free from the constraints of the physical world. So, if you ever come across a bottle claiming to hold magic within its walls, remember to approach it with a curious mind and an open heart. Embrace the wonder it evokes and let your imagination soar. For in the end, true magic lies not in the bottle, but in the depths of our own souls..
