Too cold for Dicor, bailing wire and duct tape

Pulled the motorhome out of the snow and pulled the cover off only to discover I hadn't done that good of a job sealing roof leaks. Temp have been in the teens and twenties. Too cold for Dicor.

I didn't want to put it back without taking some action, so I caulked some smaller spots and tried "Plasti Dip" spray, a rubberized coating. I had no idea whether it would work at all, whether it would dry but lo and behold - it might just be an acceptable patch until spring!

I liked the fan pattern sprayed out by the can. And it cured in the cold temps. No way will I endorse it for longevity, but I thought I'd mention it. It might be one of those quick-fix tools for you too.

    I recently used Alpha 1015 self-leveling in 35 degree temp and seemed to setup ok. Interesting I read the tube 2-3 times and didn't see anything on the tube saying min. application temp but a tech document stated 60 degrees. Guess I'll have to check it out tomorrow. Not sure if I'd use anything other than recommend.. the PI used some flex-seal on the roof and that could be why nothing was sticking even Eternabond. And it didn't seal anything.

    I would have put a tarp over it and put the cover back on, then waited for warmer weather. But, that's me.

    However, thanks. Maybe someone, or me, will need a quick fix.
