Plastic roof repair on b3030

[jcmiller77]

I had the opportunity to buy a b3030 with a cab and it has a couple of good breaks in the roof at the front. I used epoxy to seal up the cracks, I was thinking about using RV roof tap to cover above the seam to give the roof some extra protection. I wanted to see what you all thought about that idea?

thanks for your feedback.

did you drill small holes at the end of every crack ?
use the proper 'epoxy', based upon what that roof is made from
then add a layer of 'drywall tape mesh' or similar and more proper epoxy

if done right, it'll be a LOT stronger than the original shell.

I am a fan of Hot Staple and then what ever over that

Drilling holes at the end of every crack is called "stop drilling", and is widely used on aircraft, to stop crack growth.

Sure to need this info going forward.

If you are not handy with fiberglass repair, then this will work.
