Fun Facts About Liquid Rubber
Liquid rubber technology has been around for over 50 years, with early liquid-applied membranes dating even back to the 1960s.
Liquid rubber can stretch up to 1800% without cracking, then shrink back to the same size and restore itself after movement.
NASA Connection – The Liquid Rubber Formulations is inspired by elastomeric coatings designed for aerospace and extreme environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply Liquid Rubber waterproof sealant over existing coatings or sealants?
Yes, Liquid Rubber can be applied over most existing coatings, but the surface must be clean, dry, and in good condition.
What tools and equipment do I need to waterproof my caravan roof?
Application is simple. Use a paintbrush, roller or a spray machine for larger roofs. Basic safety gear such as gloves is recommended, and keep a suitable cleaner handy for spills and tool cleanup.
Should I coat the entire roof with Liquid Rubber waterproof sealant?
Usually, no. In most projects you only need to seal the problem areas: rusty patches, seams and joints, around skylights and vents, laps, screws and penetrations, and any spots where water can pond. Targeting these areas stops leaks while saving time and materials. In rare cases, such as when large sections are rusted or existing coatings are failing everywhere, a full roof application can be helpful. Make sure the substrate is still structurally sound because severely rusted or weakened roofs may require repair or replacement. Where the metal is sound, a full coat helps encapsulate the rust and can extend the roof’s lifespan.
What is the best way to prepare the surface for application?
Use a power washer to clean the surface. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of loose paint, rust, and other contaminants.
Do I need to use the rapid cure spray?
The Rapid Cure Spray is only used for the Waterproof Sealant to instantly set the product and protect it from approaching rain. It is fully optional but we recommend using it for best results.
How many coats should I apply?
Apply a minimum of two coats of Liquid Rubber waterproof sealant (Amount in the Kit Builder is enough for 2 - 3 coats). For the Thermal Coating, apply also two coats minimum - three coats over the waterproof sealant for best coverage. The sealer and etch primer require only one coat.
What are the drying and curing times?
Allow each coat of Liquid Rubber waterproof sealant to cure for 12 to 24 hours before re-coating (full cure in 72h - depending on the weather).
Is Liquid Rubber suitable for my roof type?
Yes. It is suitable for common Australian roof types including corrugated iron or Colorbond, Trimdek or Spandek, Klip Lok or Snaplock, concrete, fibreglass, PVC, EPDM rubber, and TPO.
When is the best time to apply?
Apply in dry, mild weather. Avoid application if rain, dew, or strong winds are expected within 24 hours. This helps the coating cure properly and prevents moisture from affecting adhesion.
Is it safe for drinking water collection?
Yes, it is safe. The Liquid RubberWaterproof Sealant is potable water certified. Liquid Rubber DIY products are safe for rainwater collection and will not compromise water quality.
What spray machines are you using?
We spray Liquid Rubber DIY waterproof sealant with a Graco Mark V airless spray machine. For the thermal coating we use a VEVOR airless spray machine.
What colour is the Waterproof Sealant?
The Waterproof Sealant appears brown when wet but turns black when fully cured. If you want a coloured finish, we recommend applying a primer on top of the cured sealant, followed by a top coat in your chosen colour. This approach ensures both waterproofing protection and creates enhanced UV resistance and provides longevity.
How long does shipping take in Australia?
We ship Australia wide. Orders typically arrive within 3 to 8 business days. Local pickup is also available at 1 Conway Court, Nerang, Gold Coast, QLD 4211.
