Ordered my supplies. Ive removed all the silicon and old dicor. Used a heat gun and scraper and that worked really well. I then cleaned the surfaces with some acetone. Is that about it for prep?
I was thinking of a light bead od dicor on the seams and then use the eternabond tape over that after a couple days to just guarantee the seal?
Eternabond first and Dicor on the edges of the tape (not necessary but it feels better....)
Correct and not sure if they still do, but Eternabond recommends a light bead of caulk on leading edges to prevent potential lifting of the edge when exposed to sustained wind. This potential issue is not that serious IMO, but can cause some edges to become "UGLY".
One has to understand that while the Eternabond "Micro sealant" is great it is flexible and will stretch and Eternabond normal tape is not good under tension ... the webseal is a little less prone to this issue from my understanding, but I have no experience with it.
