Repaired the roof, replaced the bubble dome...
I took care of the nasty roof left behind by the EternaBond (EB) not sticking to the shower bubble, but adhering great to the roof itself. I documented the disaster in this thread.
I could not stand how awful it looked. I decided to take everything apart, get new parts including new bubble dome, vent and roof ladder flange thingys. I was considering a large 1-piece rubber roof but used 6" strips of EternaBond.
I carefully cleaned the EB left behind- it required physical scraping and solvent to get that adhesive off, it is not easy to do. After cleaning and prepping I laid down the EB around the perimeter, placed a strip of butyl tape putter around it, used new flathead fasteners. I let is set up before trimming the spoodge putty and finished the caulking today.
