Re sealing roof with Dicor

If you read the directions for Dicor, it says to clean the area with something like Mineral Spirits. Just using water isn't going to ge it anywhere close to clean and the result will be that the Dicor lets go prematurely. Try it and you'll see. MS will get it MUCH cleaner.
This is too big of a job to do half way and then have to remove the peeling sealant and do it all over again.

I also second the suggestion of Eternabond tape - but you have to prep for it the same way.

I think they are talking about when you are applying it to the rubber roof itself, not the sealing of joints on top of the white sealant on the roof.. I will call Dicor tomorrow just for fun and let you guys know but this guy and his dad have been doing this for over 50 years and he did use the mineral spirits when applying the patch, so he must have a reason for using water on the recaulking of the joints.. he did mention my roof had a weird shine to it, like it wasn’t an actual Dicor brand roof sealant but he said the Dicor stuck to it really well, while the first stuff he tried didn’t. So if it sticks really good I’m thinking it should be fine but I’ll call Dicor to be safe.
