Eternal bond tape or Dicor?

What does the factory use, I'm curious?

I always carry a 25 foot roll of eternabond and a couple tubes of dicor in the tool kit and have for years.

Recently I needed to redo the area around my bath sky light and removed the old tape and caulking and cleaned the area and then installed the 4 inch eternabond on all 4 sides and then went over every edge of the tape with dicor and while I was up there I checked all the other areas where there was previous caulking like the radio ant base etc and dropped some dicor self leveling sealant where it might be needed as water is our biggest enemy I think on an RV.

The stuff isn't cheap but it's great stuff and learning to use it will save you hundreds or more in repairs down the road.

There are several You Tube videos on these products to help you.

Both should work depending upon the situation. I prefer Dicor self-leveling for all my roof maintenance but which ever you choose the preparation is the most important thing to ensure you are happy with the results.

I used Eternabond. Did not bend it. Used 4 straight strips and roll really good.

How good of a job do you want to do?
Just stop the leak? load it up with roof patch from ACE hardware. want it to last and look good? do as I suggested above.

You know what? I have used both eternabond tape and dicor. They both have their advantages for specific types of situations. I use dicor at rubber roof and plastic vent connections.

If, you can get the Eternabond to conform to the curves/Bends around the vent, that would be the best choice.

Tom/Barb gave you some good advice. Dicor is an excellent choice for a sealant.

You can get Eternabond to conform by using a heat gun. don't get carried away it will melt. if it does melt, don't touch it, it will burn you like hot tar. just let it cool, then try again. or use a damp sponge to push it down.

I did not know that, so Eternabond would be the best choice? :)
You probably gave them the best advice.
