Can the 1 Gallon Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive for RV Roofs Be Used for an EPDM RV Roof

Question

Question:

I want to put Alpha Systems Acrylic RV Roof Coating on my 20 year old 30 EPDM RV roof. Ive been told to use Alpha Systems 8010 adhesive as a primer, but I only see it in 5 gallon containers. I only need maybe 1.5 gal. I see an Alpha System 8011 adhesive coming up in a 1 gal container. Will this work well with the Acrylic RV Roof Coating. If not where can I get the 8010 adhesive in 1 gallon containers? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

Yes, the 1 Gallon Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive for RV Roofs # AL27CV will work just as well as the 5 Gallon Alpha Systems 8010 Adhesive for RV Roofs # AL87CV for your application.

Both adhesives have an Acrylic copolymer-based formula and will adhere to your EPDM roof.
