need answer now please

If I buy some Dicor in case I need it, how long is the shelf life? Once opened can the remainder be kept for next time or is it like caulking that always dries up and you end up getting a new tube each time?

Not trying to hijack, just wondering and perhaps OP may benefit to have some on hand for next time...

The advantage with Dicor is Dicor will stick to Dicor. Not sure if silicone will. Dicor is what most mfgs use on roofs.

If you haven't already, please do not use silicone.

Dicor is a brand of 'self leveling roof sealant' as mentioned. It's a shame the CW personnel couldn't handle this purchase for you, and it's hard to believe they don't stock it, or know what it is and suggested a similar product.

Eternabond is not, afaik, available at CW. At least it's not listed on their website.

didn't see anything with word Dicor. what was on it initially did not resemble "tape" by any stretch of the imagination.

used my goggle search and came up with the silicone answer.

she appreciates all of your suggestions.

you live you learn.

Really. Let me guess.. she/he didn't read our responses until after the fact.

well that's great news

Silicone caulk? This is not a good situation. Silicon will deteriorate from UV and will not offer any protection after year two. I'm sorry to tell you this but you should now remove that and seal your antenna with Dicor or another urethane based sealer. An additional trouble is that no sealer sticks to silicone, not even more silicone so you will have to use a caulk removal product to get the last vestiges of the silicone off the surfaces you want to seal.

Sorry to give you this after the fact.

regarding help from staff at camping world, on sundays it always seems as though there are 2 people working and I'm not sure that either know what they're talking about. this is why I asked the "experts" from the forum.
