INSTALLATION OVERVIEWCongratulations on your purchase of a Crazy Seal roofing system! These installation instructions are intended to be a guide to assist you in properly applying our system to your application. We understand that every project is unique. These instructions will provide a guided example of how each step of our system is applied in an RV roofing scenario.

Before you begin, be sure to take a lot of “before” photos from the front and back of your application! When you compare these to the “after” photos you take when your installation is complete, you will be blown away at the difference. These before and after photos rock! We look forward to seeing all of your DIY handiwork in the crazy transformation pictures!

Our system is extremely versatile and can be used on thousands of different applications. Because RV roofs typically have several different fixtures and components spread throughout the roof, it provides an excellent example to demonstrate our system on. Please use each step of our system in the order of application lined out in this document to completely seal your particular application.

The Crazy Seal installation process is really quite simple! Because we have combined the highest quality components into our roofing system, including extremely high-grade silicone infused with high-grade fibers, we have been able to reduce the number of steps in a typical roofing installation drastically. This unique system makes a true industrial grade DIY roofing installation possible.

The installation process consists of three simple steps:

BEFORE

1. ROOF INSPECTION

2. CLEANING & PREPARATION

3. CRAZY SEAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

TOOLSBecause each project is unique, the tools you need for your particular project could vary. Some of these items will be necessary, but could vary in quantity depending on your project! For example, if you are applying a two layer system, you will need more rollers, brushes, and buckets than someone who is only applying a single layer system. This section is designed to let you know what items are necessary and to give you some suggestions on items that can be very helpful if you have them.

Quick Tip: You will be climbing up to and down from your roof many times during this process. It helps not to rely solely on an RV or other application’s attached ladder. For more stability, use an extension ladder with a piece of foam noodle or towel on each side to get up onto and dismount from the roof. This provides more stability when transporting materials and yourself up and down. The foam noodle helps to protect whatever you are leaning the ladder against.

STEP 1: ROOF INSPECTION

STEP 2: CLEANING & PREPARATION

The first step of the process is to inspect your roof. In all roofing installations, a solid foundation is paramount to any system that is installed. This applies to the Crazy Seal roofing system as well.

Before the installation begins, a thorough inspection of the roof should be performed. Walk around the roof and identify any leaks or problem areas that you may have. Check the roof for integrity. Identify any rotted wood, soft spots, rubber delamination, broken vents, etc. The better you inspect, the better your results.

Fix any problems that you find. To ensure the best possible results, make sure to fix any wood damage, cracked vents, major delamination of rubber, etc. prior to beginning installation of the Crazy Seal Roofing System.

If you run into a situation where you need to repair a section of your roof before you install your Crazy Seal Roofing System, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. Simply skip to the additional section we placed at the end of these installation instructions titled “Special Situations, Wood Replacement, and Crazy Tape”.

Once you are confident that the roof is in good condition with no underlying structural issues, proceed to the next step!

The next step of the process is to clean the roof and prepare it to receive the Crazy Seal Roofing System.

CRAZY CURTIS SAYS, “PROPER PREPARATION

PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE!” ”

PREPARE FOR CLEANINGBegin by removing any vent covers, satellite dishes, brackets, etc. that prevent access to flanges or mounts. Raise any antennas or satellite dishes to allow access to the roof for cleaning.

Have a bucket handy to place hardware in so you have it when you are ready to place the fixtures back in place at the end.

USE DRILL TO REMOVE VENT COVERS, SATELLITE DISHES, BRACKETS, ETC.

CLEANING THE ROOF

If you have a lot of dirt, sediment, leaves, tree branches, etc. on your roof, run a leaf blower to remove all of the dry particles that you can before beginning the washing process.

After blowing off the roof, spray the sides of your application with water to prevent dirt and cleaner from streaking the sides. This step is especially important when it is exposed to full sunlight. Depending on the conditions, the sides may require frequent wetting throughout the cleaning process.

Once covers and brackets are removed, the surface is blown clean, and the sides are wetted down, it is time to clean the roof itself.

USE LEAF BLOWER TO REMOVE DRY PARTICLES BEFORE WASHING

SPRAY SIDES WITH WATER TO PREVENT STREAKING

PRESSURE WASHBegin by pressure washing the roof and sealants. Take your time with this process! Dirt and grime do not create a prime environment for product adhesion. Ensure that all areas are pressure washed very well, with dirt, grime, and mold knocked off in all possible areas.

PRESSURE WASH ROOF & SEALANTS

SCRUB WITH CRAZY CLEANOnce the roof is pressure washed to remove dirt and grime, scrub the roof with Crazy Clean to remove any grease or oils that remain on the roof.

CRAZY CLEAN is a highly effective concentrated cleaning solution specially formulated to remove surface contaminants such as oils, dirt and oxidation. Crazy Clean is environmentally safe, non-toxic and leaves no contaminating by-products or pollutants to damage the environment.

Begin by mixing Crazy Clean at a 2:1 ratio of water to product. To simplify this, simply pour 1 gallon of Crazy Clean into a clean bucket. Fill the 1 gallon canister with clean water and pour it in with the Crazy Clean. Do this one more time to complete the mixture of 2 gallons of water with 1 gallon of Crazy Clean.

Wet the entire roof area. Scrub roof and sealants with the Crazy Clean mixture and a medium to stiff bristle brush on an extension pole. Use a back and forth overlapping action. Work in small sections, rinsing with clean water from a hose or pressure washer as you go.

Be sure to rinse the sides of your application as you move to prevent dirt and cleaner from staying on the sides as it flows off the roof. Remember, Crazy Clean will remove dirt and oils, but not stains. If you scrub for more than 30 seconds and discoloration does not go away, simply move on, as it is probably a stain.

Once the roof is scrubbed and washed clean, ensure the roof is dry before proceeding. Be sure to remove any trapped water around vents, under A/C’s etc. A leaf blower and towels are recommended and will aid in the drying process.

CLEANING SEALANTSNow that the roof is cleaned and washed, it is time to finalize cleaning on all the sealants. The Crazy Seal Roofing System can be applied on top of existing sealants, but they must have good integrity and be properly cleaned.

Inspect existing sealants for integrity and cleanliness around all of the flanges of skylights, vents, antenna bases, around the base of ladders, on termination bars, etc.

Pre-clean sealants on all flanges. Factory sealants should be properly cleaned before any Crazy Seal products are applied.

Quick Tip: If you have stuck-on dirt and grime that is not coming off with cleaner, a bit of paint thinner on a rag can go a long way to getting those areas clean.

REMOVING SEALANTS

FINAL PREPARATION WITH MASKING TAPE

If you have sealants that are in bad shape, simple cleaning may not be enough. Any sealants that are excessively cracked, not adhered to the surface, or are trapping or holding water and dirt beneath them should be removed for best results.

To remove sealants, use a scraper with a strong blade to glide under the sealant. Remove sealant with a slight prying motion upward from the handle.

A heat gun can go a long way to warm up the sealant and make it easier to remove, especially if it is cold outside.

Have a trash bucket handy to drop removed sealant into. This will prevent it from re-adhering to the roof after removed.

Remove sealants with care to prevent damage to the existing roof membrane.

Once the roof is clean and all sealants are cleaned or removed, it is time to finalize our roof preparation by taping off any areas where you do not want Crazy Seal to stay.

Using a product like common blue painter’s tape, tape off all necessary fixtures and edges like skylights, railings, end caps, etc.

Remember while taping that tape must be removed while the membrane is still wet or edge pulling can occur. To help with this, apply tape in 5 foot increments or less. This will help you remove the tape quickly while you are applying the Crazy Seal products.

Apply a clean line of tape to the front and back caps past any penetrations in the roof. Applying a clean line of tape a few inches beyond any termination bars in the front and back helps to create a nice finished look.

Once the roof is clean and the sides and fixtures are taped off, it is time to move on to the installation of the Crazy Seal System!

STEP 3: APPLYING THE CRAZY SEAL PRODUCTSThere are three components that come in a typical Crazy Seal installation kit. These include Crazy Caulk, Crazy Patch, and Crazy Seal. Let’s go over briefly what each product is and what it is used for.

CRAZY CAULK is a fiber infused, moisture-curing sealant with excellent adhesion to most surfaces. Crazy Caulk is generally used to seal seams, such as the seams along the sides of an RV or seams created where components such as gutter systems attach to the roof.

11

CRAZY PATCH is a fiber-infused, moisture-curing mastic with excellent adhesion to most surfaces. Crazy Patch is generally used to seal all existing penetrations. Simply stated, wherever sealant was previously applied to cover penetrations, Crazy Patch will be used to ensure that penetrations are sealed. Crazy Patch can also be used alone as a single component repair product to patch leaks.

CRAZY SEAL is a weatherproof, fiber-infused silicone roof membrane. Applying Crazy Seal to any weathered roof substrate will help ensure it is protected against degradation caused by harsh UV rays, severe weather, mold and mildew. It will not chalk or blister. The unique fiber-infused silicone makeup of Crazy Seal remains permanently flexible yet strong.

Before proceeding, we must make a note on terminology. Any time the term “base layer” is used, this refers to the first layer of Crazy Seal Roof Membrane that will be applied to the roof. Any time the term “top layer” is used, this refers to the final layer of Crazy Seal Roof Membrane that will be applied to the roof.

Our recommended Crazy Seal System is a Two Layer System. In this system, you will have a “base layer” that goes on first, then a “top layer” that goes on last.

With that being said, if you have chosen a Single Layer System, you will essentially only be applying the “base layer” to your application.

BASE LayerTOP LAYER

APPLYING CRAZY CAULK

Crazy Caulk is used as a sealant for small width seams.

Begin by loading a tube of Crazy Caulk into a caulk gun. In addition to the caulk gun, you will want to have a small amount of your Crazy Seal base layer poured into a smaller container

Page 12: CRAZY SEAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINE · CRAZY CLEAN is a highly effective concentrated cleaning solution specially formulated to remove surface contaminants such as oils, dirt and oxidation

Apply Crazy Caulk along the top edges of gutters and the top of screw cover strips. Apply in an even 1/4”-3/8” bead using your finger to tool Crazy Caulk in as you go.

Every few feet that you apply Crazy Caulk, go back and immediately apply a layer of Crazy Seal base layer on top to smooth out the Crazy Caulk. This is intended to be done while the caulk is still wet to

promote adhesion and a smooth final look. Using a small brush with the base layer will help create a nice smooth finish with our Crazy Caulk sealant.

To save time in the long run, go ahead and “cut in” the sides of your roof with the Crazy Seal base layer as you go. Use the brush as you go along to glide a liberal layer of the Crazy Seal base layer a few inches in from the outside edges. This will make it easier on you later when you roll out your Crazy Seal base layer with a roller.APPLY CRAZY SEAL BASE LAYER OVER

APPLYING CRAZY PATCH

TERMINATION BARS

Proper application of Crazy Patch is a critical component of your overall installation success. Crazy Patch is designed to be used over the termination strips on your front and back caps, around all of the flanges of skylights, vents, antenna bases, around the base of ladders, etc. Basically, any area that originally had sealant on it, you need to install Crazy Patch on that area as well.

This piece of the Crazy Seal System is very thick. It is designed to permanently seal all of the areas where water intrusion and dirt and debris can create entry points into your roof. By sealing all of these areas with Crazy Patch and going over them with the Crazy Seal base layer, you will be ensuring that vulnerable areas that have been penetrated with screws and bolts will be protected and sealed.

Begin by opening a container of Crazy Patch. In addition to the Crazy Patch, you will want to have a small amount of your Crazy Seal base layer poured into a smaller container to work with as you go. Be ready with the Crazy Patch, a small container of Crazy Seal base layer, and 2 brushes when completing the following process.

Begin by applying Crazy Patch over the front and rear cap termination bars.

To apply Crazy Patch, dip a 3” brush and load it with a thick amount of product. Straddling the termination bar approximately 3” on each side, place liberal amounts of Crazy Patch down and smooth it out with your brush. Continue to place sizeable amounts down with each scoop, then use the brush to smooth out the product on top of the bar. The goal here is to completely seal the area around the termination bar, flowing product over the bar and onto the roof and cap.

Like the Crazy Caulk application, every few feet that you apply Crazy Patch, go back and immediately apply a layer of Crazy Seal base layer on top to smooth out the Crazy Patch. This is intended to be done while the Crazy Patch is still wet to promote adhesion and a smooth final look.

If you are applying product all the way to the tape you placed past the termination bar in the preparation stage, be sure to remove it while the product is still wet. This will provide nice, clean termination lines.

Apply Crazy Patch to all penetration areas, using a 3” brush to cover all penetration areas where sealant was originally placed. Continue this process around all of the flanges of skylights, vents, antenna bases, around the base of ladders, etc. Work to flow the product into and up the vertical edge of flanges and other fixtures. In all areas, continue to apply a layer of Crazy Seal base layer on top to smooth out the Crazy Patch.

Be sure as you go along to be removing any tape that you applied in the preparation phase while the product is still wet. This will provide nice, clean termination lines around your fixtures.

Now that the penetrations are sealed, you will finalize “cutting in” with the Crazy Seal base layer in all areas that would be difficult to reach with the roller.

Use a 3” brush to flow Crazy Seal base layer up under A/C units and up to foam seals. Go to all

fixtures on the roof that have not been cut in with a layer of the Crazy Seal Base Layer. Ensure you have a layer of Crazy Seal base layer cut in on the sides, over screw cover strips, and down to the gutter system.

CUT IN AROUND FIXTURES

CUT IN ENTIRE ROOF TO PREPARE FOR CRAZY SEAL ROLL ON

APPLYING CRAZY SEAL ROOF MEMBRANEAt this point, you should have the sides and all of the penetrations sealed with Crazy Caulk, Crazy Patch, and a layer of Crazy Seal base layer on top of the sealants.

Begin by pouring some of the Crazy Seal base layer into a small container. Be ready with this container and a brush when completing the following process.

You have arrived to the fun part! Once all of the penetrations are sealed and the roof is cut in around fixtures, it is time to roll on the base layer to the main body of the roof! This is definitely one of the most satisfying parts of the process. It’s here that you get to see the full application come to life!

Before getting setup to roll out your base layer, we recommend running a leaf blower to remove all of the dry particles that could have been tracked up on the roof. This will remove unwanted debris before applying the base layer.

With the roof clear of debris, it’s time to roll out the base layer. Begin by setting up a roller frame and a ½” nap roller on an extension pole. Be ready with an open container of Crazy Seal base layer and the roller on an extension pole when completing the following process.

It is best to wear a pair of clean socks and no shoes when rolling out the base layer! This will help to keep the roof clean as you apply the base layer.

Begin at the area of the roof farthest away from where you will get off of the roof! People usually get on and off the roof from the rear, so you will typically begin your application in the front.

Fully submerge the roller head into the pail or bucket containing the base layer and liberally apply to the roof surface. It is normal to pull large amounts of product onto the surface, dripping it onto the surface as you place the roller on the roof. With the roller head on the roof, “glide” the roller forward and back from the spot where you place the roller. You will be pushing product forward and pulling product back in even strokes.

The action you want to have here is more of a gliding motion than rolling. In fact, we encourage people to have a “quiet” roller head. This means that you don’t hear the traditional sticky sound like you hear when rolling paint onto a wall. This allows you to glide the product on in a nice, thick layer. The roller should remain wet throughout the entire process. Be sure to roll out any runs or drips on the roof immediately to prevent them from setting up.

Remember, this isn’t paint! This is a high-grade, fiber-infused silicone roofing system. Be sure to apply a liberal amount to ensure you properly apply membrane to the entire roof surface. The goal is to properly seal every square inch of your roofing application.

Work the product onto the entire surface and finish at the ladder where you will get off the roof. Once you are down to the last 4 or 5 square foot patch of roof beside the ladder, remove the roller frame from the extension pole, submerge the roller in the Crazy Seal base layer one last time, and set the roller down by itself on the remaining unlayered roof surface.

Leave the roller there as you carry the remaining product down off the roof. From there, climb back up and finish rolling the last patch of roof by hand. Safely climb down with the empty roller in hand.

Let the base layer dry a minimum of 4 hours or until the membrane is dry to the touch and does not leave indentations when weight is applied. We recommend letting the membrane dry overnight before attempting to walk on it or applying any additional layers.

With the base layer complete, you are on to the final process, applying additional layers.

If you are only applying a Single Layer System to your application, your project is nearly complete! Simply skip the next section on applying additional layers.

At this point, you have completed a full single layer installation! Now it is time to apply our final layer. This is basically a simplified version of the original installation process.

Now that the roof is sealed with Crazy Caulk, Crazy Patch, and the first layer of Crazy Seal, it is time to prepare for the final layer.

The process of applying Crazy Caulk and Crazy Patch is complete at this point. From here on, you will only apply additional layers of Crazy Seal Roof Membrane.

Before getting setup to roll out another layer, we recommend running a leaf blower again to remove all of the dry particles that could have been tracked up on the roof. This will remove unwanted debris before applying another layer.

With the roof clear of debris, it’s now time to re-apply tape to areas where tape has already been pulled as you were putting down the base layer. This typically includes skylights and the termination bars, as these require coverage all the way up to the tape, then pulling the tape while the product is still wet. It

is ok to go an inch or so beyond where they were originally taped to repeat the process.

REMOVE DRY PARTICLES WITH A LEAF BLOWER

RE-APPLY TAPE TO ALL AREAS WHERE TAPE WAS REMOVED BEFORE PAINTING ON THE TOP LAYER

Once these areas are taped off, you will add some product to a small container as you did in the cut-in process before. With a new 3” brush and small container of the Crazy Seal top layer, go to all areas where you trimmed in before and repeat the process. You will simply be trimming-in the top layer in all areas that would be difficult to reach with the roller.

This would include the edges of the roof and all of the flanges of skylights, vents, antenna bases, around the base of ladders, etc. Many areas that originally had Crazy Patch or Crazy Caulk applied to it, you will likely need to cut-in with a brush, as these areas can be difficult to reach with a roller. If it can be easily reached with a roller, you do not have to trim it in.

The goal here is to have all areas cut in, so that you can be ready to roll out the final membrane onto the main body of the roof.

APPLYING THE TOP LAYERNow it’s time to roll out the top layer. Repeat the instructions above for rolling out the top layer onto the main body of the roof. As the base layer is typically a different color than the top layer, it should be easy to see where the top layer is being applied. This will help to ensure proper coverage on the entirety of your roof surface.

Let the top layer dry a minimum of 4 hours or until membrane is dry to the touch and does not leave indentations when weight is applied. We recommend letting the membrane dry overnight before attempting to walk on it or applying any additional layers.

If you are applying a Two Layer System, give yourself a pat on the back! All of the Crazy Seal products are now completely applied!

If you are applying more than two layers, just continue this process as needed.

FINALIZING THE INSTALLATIONOnce the final layer is dry, any previously removed fixtures or covers should be re-installed. If any bolts or screws that penetrate the roof are exposed after the fixtures are re-installed, they should be sealed with Crazy Caulk. An example of this would be the screws that are exposed when mounting a vent cover.

Be sure to clean up and properly dispose of any remaining trash. If necessary, allow excess product in buckets to dry before disposal.

Once all fixtures are re-installed and your area is clean, your project is complete! You now have an incredible DIY roof that will stand the test of time. Congratulations on a job well done. Enjoy your Crazy Seal roof!

If you run into a situation where you need to repair a section of your roof before you install your Crazy Seal Roofing System, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered.

Our system can actually be applied “direct to deck”. This means you can use our membrane directly on replaced sheets of plywood!

One thing that we recommend in this situation is the use of our Crazy Tape on the seams where the repair encounters the remainder of the roof.

Crazy Tape is a special tape created for scenarios just like this. It is not regular tape in the normal sense of the word. Crazy Tape has a strong adhesive on one side and a fabric material on the other. This gives you the ability to add additional structural integrity to the seam with the adhesive, while the fabric on top is designed to allow the Crazy Seal System to adhere to it. This combination allows you many different possibilities for repair on your roof.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS, WOOD REPLACEMENT, & CRAZY TAPE

Crazy tape can also be used for other repairs that you run into on the roof surface. Simply use it in sequence with the other components of the Crazy Seal System to achieve your desired end result - a seamless, perfectly sealed roof!
