Eternabond and skylight screws
Hello, I just installed a new skylight and roof vent on my TT, and I used Eternabond tape to seal around the flanges. I also used Eternabond primer so the tape adheres very well, but I'm concerned...

Thanks everyone for your advice. This forum is great. I'm going to leave it as-is for now and I'll check on it from time to time.
Yes, I used a roller and pressed hard. I actually bit the bullet and purchased that "official" Eternabond roller, the heavy steel one. As I was rolling the edges I could see the sealant squeezing out ever so slightly, and I also heard a very faint "popping" sound. So I think the adhesion is good.

Also did you use a roller of some sort to really smash the eternabond onto the roof? Your edges don't seem to show any sealant squeezing out so I wonder if you pressed down hard enough. You want to make sure it is pressed down really firmly or it will leak.
