Question:

What adhesive would I need to purchase to apply this patch to the roof on my 2017 XLR Nitro roof? The only adhesive I find is a gallon or more, I really dont want/need that much for a small patch. Is there another option?

The smallest container size of the Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive for RV Roofs, is 1 Gallon - item # AL27CV. This provides a strong bond between your roof membrane and your RV's roof. But the Alpha Systems Patch Kit for SuperFlex RV Roof Membranes, # AL57CV that you linked to includes 1 tube of 1021 self-leveling sealant. It depends on what the damage is and how large of an aera to cover with the patch if you need to something such as the Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive, # AL27CV or if it is a tear/slit in the roof, you can use the 1021 self-leveling sealant with a piece of the roof membrane patch.

But, if your damaged can be covered with an 8" x 8" patch, we have the Patch Kit for RV Roof Membranes - White - 8" x 8" # QR74FR that is very cost effective.

The Alpha 8011 is a low viscosity, water-based formula, It remains flexible once cured, allowing for expansion and contraction of the attached roofing membrane. Most any type of a rubberized adhesive such as this will work for patching your roof.
