[18:54][18:54] Dallin: Hey William
[18:56][18:56] Dallin: RV roofs are usually not structural, but need to waterproof.
[18:57] Dallin: Are you taking the old fiberglass off?
[18:58] william: yes and putting thin plywood
[18:59] Dallin: Ok, I would use a layer of 1.5 oz chopped strand mat, with 6 in fiberglass tape along the seems.
[19:00] Dallin: I would use Orca 301 ISO resin with gel coat over top.
[19:01] william: will that hold weight of air conditioner or person walking on it
[19:02][19:02] Dallin: How big is the roof?
[19:04] william: The replaced section is approx. 7x12 feet entire roof is 7x30
[19:05] Dallin: Ok, so you are not replacing the whole roof.
[19:06][19:06] Dallin: I would probably use the same layup.
[19:07] Dallin: So, 10 yards of 3733 x 40" and 20 yards of CSM.
[19:08][19:08][19:08] Dallin: No problem.

[19:23] Dallin: 1.5 oz Chopped Strand Mat. not cloth
[19:37][19:37] Dallin: 70
[19:38][19:38] Dallin: No problem
[20:01][20:01] Dallin: 10 OZ
[20:04] Dallin: Mix ratio depends on how fast you want it to cure. It is 2 oz per gallon, but you don't want to do a whole gallon.
[20:07] Dallin: You don't want to go lower than 1% MEKP.
[20:08][20:08] Dallin: To thoroughly mix it? 2 minutes is what the manufacturer says.
[20:09] Dallin: I would probably start at a pint, then work your way up. Get used to how the resin works.
[20:37] william: thanks Dallin I'm checking out
[20:38] Dallin: Great

I am building a micro Rvr and want to fiberglass the plywood roof. There is plastic flashing tape over all the joints- do I need to remove this?
Also, what weight and type of mat/ fabric do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

REPLY from fgwarehouse: Hello Jason, I would remove the flashing tape. I could impede the bond.
Chopped strand mat will be the cheapest. 6 oz cloth will be relatively smooth. Are you just looking to waterproof, or add structure?
REPLY from jason389: Just waterproofing. There is plywood on the roof. Thank you.
