which eternabond?
I have some leaky slides. Well, the big slide mostly, of course.
Both left and right bottom area's area rotting out.
New slide toppers coming in, and I was poking around up there to see what I'd be getting in there.
The factory used some sort of "eternabond like" tape to seal where the slide roof meets the "inside of the outside wall" and at least on the left end (above (6' above) the area where the slide floor is rotting out)The sealing tape is lifting off, and there is some visible corrosion under. It will, I assume, be much easier to see once the slide topper is off.
I will remove any failing sealing tape, clean everything up, and replace the tape.
I'm wondering what to use?
The factory used an aluminum faced product to do all the roof seams, but the stuff on the slideout roofs seems to be painted body color.
It's kinda an extreme application. It will have to cover a few inches of the slide roof, and fold 90 degrees up the wall. It will have to manage where several layers of material meet and overlap. It will have to conform to a row of rivets it will have to cover!
And it will have to deal with the big rubber slidout seal scraping across it when the slide is opened and closed!
Eternabond seems to have 3 products:
Roofseal seems to be the most flexible, and uv stable
allumibond tough and thin, can probably take the sliding seal, but perhaps not the best at conforming to irregularities?
webseal is the most flexible, also the thickest. It would be a no brainer, except for that big rubber seal rubbing across it...
Let's hear some opinions?
