Seems it offers the best of both worlds of sealing and adhesion. Wouldn't it be good for helping secure AND seal roof mounted solar panels. I'm using well nuts through the feet though.....can't roller that area. Will finger pressure around the well nuts be enough to activate whatever it is that needs activating?
NO! NO! NO! ... While Eternbond sticks like concrete, the microsealant is very elastic and softens with heat and will stretch making it a very poor adhesive for attaching anything. In fact if you stretch even the roof seal, over time you will see that areas along it's edges will release from whatever surface you have applied it to.

Hmmm, that's a vigorous "No!" The feet are held with a 3m adhesive in addition to the well nuts. Instead of Dicor over the feet I was thinking the Eternabond would offer some additional securing besides the necessary sealing around the well nuts.
And for good reason. In fact I think you will find the roof seal won't even conform over something like #10 round headed screw well. You'd be better off using something like the 3M Marine 4000UV (first choice) or the 4200/5200 (second choice).
