Made the Mistake of Using Silcone Sealant on Roof Vent
Help! I made the BIG mistake of sealing our roof vent on our 94 pop up (Skippy) with silicone two years ago. I wish I would have read these boards then. Needless to say, it leaked. I have spent the past two days scraping the old caulk off the roof using many tools and even acetone.
I bought ProFlex RV sealant for when I finally get the silicone removed. There is still a very thin layer of the silicone so I know nothing will stick to it and fix the leak. I ordered last night McKanica® Silicone Caulk Remover Gel so I'm hoping that will help.
But here's my problem. I did an extra special good job with the silicone and basically covered all of the screws with sealant. I can't get the silicone out of the tops of the screws (where you use the screw driver). Should I replace all of the screws? Or will the pro flex stick to that area? I have also looked at Eternabond tape as well as the Pro Flex RV brushable sealant. This mom just doesn't want to have another leak.
Thank you!!!
