Why do people keep using such a product as self-leveling Dicor? It seems to me that its failure rate is quite high, and for obvious reasons....IMO. I frequently see it used in applications where it makes no sense. IMO whenever you have a lap joint, you can bet there's going to be some movement, even if you don't see anything move. It makes a lot more sense to use a healthy bead of really good sealant, like 3M 4200 marine which has excellent qualities, right at the line of the joint. Then, cover the whole lap joint with 4" EternaBond, screw heads and all. And, replace screws with stainless while you have the joint exposed.
