Normally you use 4 inch Eternabond over the whole thing between the roof and the cap. For a quick fix using what you have, you can put the "termination bar" back on and put your 2 inch Eternabond along it with 1 inch overlap, so with 40 feet and 8 ft to do, you could do two 8 ft, with one overlap making 3 inches. Or even three and get 4 inches.
It is hard to do all 8 ft with one length --it gets twisted up in the wind and turns into a nightmare, so shorter lengths overlapping end to end is more practical. Your 40 ft leaves enough for overlapping the end to end and for the lengths.
You might not need the Dicor at all. Purists put Dicor along the edges of the Eternabond, but how long is this for, before you get some 4 inch and do it over top of this one?
Idon't understand what you mean about overlapping shorter lengths. That seems like there would be more opportunity for leaks that way. Are you saying put the tape over the termination bar?
