Roof maintenance material
In preparation to re-seal a couple areas on the trailer roof, I decided to review some You-tube videos just to make sure I was not forgetting anything important. It was/is my intention to use the Dicor, self-leveling product, which I have used a couple times in the past.
However, I happened to come across a couple videos from "RVBlue Zone" (one of which is called "RV Caulking - Sealing Things Up" - sorry don't know how to place a link), in which the host compares the Dicor product to a Home Depot/Lowes DIY level item and strongly endorses a commercial construction product called Sikaflex (both regular and self-leveling available).
He explains his reasons for using this product and, through the use of still images, describes the application process (actually uses a caulking gun and then a spatula type tool to taper it out). Much of what he says seems legitimate and he seems quite knowledgeable (about this and other stuff). He states the product is good for up to 15 years before needing any attention, comparing it to a 2-3 year life for Dicor and even suggests it can be used for underwater applications.
He repeatedly used the term "we have used" so appears to be familiar with this product in multiple applications, although he does not offer his services nor does he identify who "we" is.
I have never heard of this product before and am wondering if anyone is familiar with it and can offer comments, either negative or positive. Sure looks interesting, if what he says is true.
Sorry for the rather long post.
