Nice job well done. But Self leveling no good at all it thins out very soon, non self-Leveling is the best the thicker the silicone the better because it lasts for a long time without cracks & crevices.

@yourrvspecialists

3 ай бұрын

It doesn't have thermal properties to keep the inside temp to block in or out. The interior of the coach as it would condensation it causes the tape to get wet on the underside and come loose.

If only they were built right the first time

IMO, eternabond tape applied after properly cleaning and preparing the areas on the roof is a more permanent longer lasting solution. A vast majority of us RVers out in the desert SW have applied eternabond tape to the side seams, front/rear cap seams, and all AC’s and vent/vent fans on the roof. Theres a fella that has had his 5ver roof sealed up with eternabond for 6 years now and has not had to reapply any spots. He is a FTer and we just met him at the “Q” 2 months ago. If he had still be using the dicor, he said he would have reapply twice a year due to being in the SW.

Just store it under an awning and you don't have to worry about it

If you a re going to use that much keep your nozzle buried as you apply it. What you are doing with the circular motion looks impressive to someone on youtube but you "blistered" that pretty bad. All those little pockets and bubbles you see are trapped air that will fail and open...not good at all. Also, just tape it off. So sloppy.
