roof seam sealants

My roof is all fiberglass . But I need to redo long seams on each side and across both ends. I need to remove alot of old sealant . That was just straight silicone the last owner put on . I have some dicor for the very top parts but ends do I use that new tape style stuff ? And sides need to be a off white more firm style to stay in the seams. Any pointers would be great or recommendations where to find which one to use.

    I'm a big fan of Eternabond tape (it's been around for decades) that I've used on both of my RVs. One with a rubber roof and my newest with the fiberglass roof. I use 4" Ebond on the end cap seams and 2" Ebond along the edges, full length.

    After reading many postings by owners of various roof issues over the last 15 years, I went ahead and covered the seams with Ebond so I don't have to mess with it very often. Getting on up in years and sometimes get dizzy climbing up on the roof so that's a factor. Had it checked at the factory a couple months ago and it's still in good condition. No needed maintenance.

    Here's my blog entry about what I do: Fiberglass Roof maintenance...
