Thanks Gdetrailer.
If it doesn't sound as though I'm listening, I apologize. Just trying to be innovative. I do plan to take the advice of everyone here actually... As stated I will:
1. Use butyl tape for seal
2. Use approved skylight sealant for seal
3. Use Eternabond tape for top seal (going to get some at lunch)
4. As per at least 2 other people have said, I'm NOT going to use SCREWS. I'm going to take the chance on cost and labor and having to redo it myself for the sake of the community on here and elsewhere and report back how it goes. Between using the items in 1-3 in this post, I do not believe screws will be needed.
5. My own ending to all of it - I'm gonna top coat with Henry 887HS after all repairs are performed in the "recommended manner" - Recommended by ya'll and lots of others in other forums.
I know it may be a pipe dream, but I am looking for a solution that will allow me the freedom of not having to deal with my rv roof ever again barring physical modifications or accidents. The Henry 887HS product promises that and it promises Lifetime warranty. The key here is as someone mentioned herein, that the 887HS product is good for ponding, but not for sealing "holes" or damage to the roof... so again like in #5 above.. I will follow everyone's directions for sealing the roof RIGHT through tried and true procedures/materials and then basically use the 887HS product as a top coat to double protect my work.
