Unveiling the Mysteries of the Magic Pen: A Journey with Harry Patten

Once upon a time, in the small town of Willowbrook, there lived a young boy named Harry Patten. Harry was an ordinary boy with an extraordinary imagination. He loved reading books and exploring new worlds through the stories he read. One day, while exploring his grandmother's attic, Harry stumbled upon an old wooden chest. Curiosity got the best of him, and he opened the chest to find a dusty, old pen. It was no ordinary pen, however.

The product has a five-year shelf life as long as you affix the lid properly, so air does not get in. Average dry time: Dry to touch in 3 – 4 hours. Wait a full 24 hours before traveling. Should you choose to apply a second coat, wait 24 hours. Rain should not be in the forecast on the day you apply the product. However, should a very light rain fall within 2-3 hours of application, the roof is already protected. You may see rain dimples on the surface, depending on the strength of the rain. If seams are not properly adhered, it may cause the tape to bubble up or raise as will a rubber roof that has lost adhesion to the wood substrate. Applying the product too thick will cause it to wrinkle.

Roof Protect emulsifies contaminates and provides improved surface preparation by effectively removing oil, grease, mildew, dirt, and other soils from your roofing membrane. Roof Protect emulsifies contaminates and provides improved surface preparation by effectively removing oil, grease, mildew, dirt, and other soils from your roofing membrane.

It was no ordinary pen, however. The pen had a beautiful, intricate design and a shimmering blue gem at its top. Without thinking, Harry picked up the pen and began doodling on a piece of paper.

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.

To his amazement, the pen seemed to have a magical power. Whatever he drew with it came to life! Harry couldn't believe his eyes. He drew a small puppy, and it magically leaped off the page and into his arms. Excited by this newfound power, Harry began to experiment with the pen. He drew a castle, and suddenly, he was standing in front of a magnificent fortress. He drew a dragon, and it roared to life, flying overhead. Harry couldn't believe the immense power he possessed with the magic pen. As word got out about Harry's magical pen, people from all over town came to witness the incredible drawings that came to life. Lovers drew hearts to express their affection, and the hearts would dance in the air. Children drew candy, and it would materialize, much to their delight. However, Harry soon realized that with great power comes great responsibility. He saw that some people were using the pen for selfish purposes, drawing things to harm others. Harry knew he had to protect the magic pen and use it wisely. With the help of his friends, Harry set out on a quest to find the rightful owner of the magic pen. They traveled to distant lands, encountering various challenges along the way. They met wise wizards and learned about the true purpose of the enchanted pen. Ultimately, Harry discovered that the magic pen was created to spread joy, love, and happiness. It was meant to be used for good, to inspire creativity and bring people together. Harry promised to use the pen responsibly and to share its magic with others in positive ways. Returning to Willowbrook, Harry became known as "Harry the Magician" and used the pen's power to create beautiful artwork and uplifting messages around town. He held workshops where he taught others how to tap into their own creativity and express themselves through art. And so, Harry Patten and his magic pen brought a touch of enchantment to the town of Willowbrook, reminding everyone of the power of imagination and the importance of using it for good. The magic pen became a symbol of hope, inspiring others to embrace their own creativity and make the world a brighter place..
