On the roof, yes.
I have used Flex Seal spray and also the Rustoluem Leak Seal spray on the bottom of the camper in some places. I just repaired another section of rotten floor, this time due to a leaky slide seal. It's common for the RV mfrs to wrap exposed framing in Darco, which is a waterproof woven fiberglas fabric, kind of like tarp material. The problem is if water gets behind the Darco, it gets trapped and rots the wood even faster.
I've found that spraying the exposed wood with a rubber coating is better because water can't get behind it like a covering and rot the wood out.
Here is a piece of wood under the slide corner: - dpgllgExplorerFor tape applications Eternabond only
For horizontal level applications Dicor self leveling sealant only
I do not ever want to have to think if the product installed is going to work or not or even worse discovering it did not work!
These two products are proven to do the job

There product information pages state it is water soluble. I would assume that is in the application stage and after it has cured. I'd bet that boat with the bottom screen is only used for a few video shots and is then scrapped.
Ya think?
But wait.........there’s more! Order now and receive....... for only the cost of shipping and handling!
My advice is watch less infomercials! - dcmac214ExplorerI love the way that aluminum boat sprays sparks when the adman cuts it in half!
- Deb_and_Ed_MExplorer III used Flex Seal spray on the roof of our Florida Condo's sunroom, to stop the incessant leaking. It worked, for probably a month - then either dissolved or was gobbled up by the sunshine? By the time we returned the next fall, it was leaking as bad, if not worse, than before.
I have full faith in Eternabond tape - but it's expensive. Rather than cover the sunroom with Eternabond, we opted to replace it. Still might have been cheaper than an Eternabond Roof.....LOL! - mat60ExplorerI don't have allot of extra cash but no way I'm going anywhere without Eternabond tape some Dicor a caulk gun and a ladder. Call me crazy.
- ctilsie242Explorer IISince Eternabond comes in 48" wide rolls, I have wondered about taking three rolls of the stuff and having roof that is completely Eternabond tape. Of course, there would be overlap, but nothing would be getting past it.

I actually tried the Flex Seal on a leaky seam on a home gutter. Did not work worth a hoot. I tried several layers and it never did stop the leak. More good marketing than good product. I figured the "As seen on TV" product was going to be a disappointment, and I wasn't surprised.
Tried it as well. Still leaked. Garbage. - mudhoundExplorer
