which caulk/sealant to use?

Question

Have a rubber roof and noticed that caulk had receded from edge and left a gap. Not able to physically crawl up on roof, so good wife took several pics. Not sure if this pic will be with post.

I use Dicor and Eternabond on the roof and outdoor silicone caulk for the sides.

Eternabond and Dicor Self Leveling Caulk.

robsouth · Answer

Dicor self leveling lap sealant on roof (horizontal surface).  Dicor non leveling sealant on sides (vertical surface).  Eternabond is great too for longer stretches.

almot · Answer

1) Dicor lap sealnt (self-leveling as it's on the roof, not on the side)

2) Geocel EPDM sealant

3) Outdoor Urethane caulk/sealant from Home Depot will also work, for a fraction of the cost.

I would not use a silicone outdoor sealant unless you're planning to sell the rig in a year or two ;). It will work, but won't last long.
