I could be wrong, but the black stuff they put on I thought was for rubber roofs (or it may be the white stuff but just old and burnt from the sun... I think I remember some looking that way). Assuming you have the vinyl (I'm not 100% sure) then the acrylic stuff you have is right. That stuff works great. Just keep in mind that if it flexes too much (when you walk around the area) that it may crack. But that sealant you mentioned is flexible to some degree. Great stuff. Just clean it up the best you can and blob it on there good and let it dry and it will hold. Works like a charm and holds up for two or three years easy.
Fair question. Because the sun/rain are bastard childs of Satan, they ruin everything. I've been doing this for 12 years.
Certainly that stuff lasts longer, but 2 to 5 years is ok. I was being conservative in my estimate. It starts to crack a bit if left out in the sun a long time. Leaks are worse than a Chinese drip torture.
