Hi all, I recieved my buskote, primer, sealer and flex patch by UPS yesterday. Before I start this process do any of you with experience have any last minute advise for the application. Thanks for your help

One thing we found.. is make sure the roof is cleaned (scrubbed down) before the primer goes on.
We missed a few square inches and the primer did not hold.
It does go on easy...

And make sure each coat is thoroughly dry before applying the next coat.

Let us know what changes you notice after the jou is done.

A few things I learned from just applying buskote:
If you use masking tape, remove as soon as possible, before the buskote sets up. I left mine on too long and the buskote pulled up with the tape when I removed it.
If you want to cover the shower skylight be careful not to leave brush marks with the primer. After applying the primer go look thru the skylight from inside the coach and the exterior in sunlight. Make sure the primer is on even. I didn't do this and from inside the coach, the application looks pretty bad in day light.
I used a 3/4" nap roller with the kote, and went over some areas 3 times. I still have a half gallon left (out of 4 total). I put it on as thick as I could.
