Skylight and Dicor?
I had an odd thing happen today... Went to my RV (at storage lot) to do some prep for the Thanksgiving trip, and I had a puddle of water on my kitchen island countertop. Water was dripping from the skylight trim on the inside.
So up on the roof I go and intially couldn't find any obvious cracks. Upon closer inspection, it looked like there was a crack around the perimeter of the skylight at the point where the Dicor sealant overlapped the flange. Sure enough, upon pushing back the Dicor a little, it looks like the Dicor actually disolved the skylight clear plastic (or whatever it is). I checked the one over my shower, and it isn't like this. I'm going to order a new skylight, but as a temporary fix I cleaned the old Dicor and flange with acetone and laid on another bead of Dicor all the way around.
I don't recall seeing that these 2 materials are incompatible.
Anybody else ever see this?
Should I use something else?
