dicor self leveling lap sealant on slide out roof?

[al7601]

I have a lot of dicor lap sealant and wanted to know if I could use it on my slide out roof? Currently there is eternal bond tape there but it is bubbling. I don't have any eternabond tape but like I said, have plenty of dicor. this is for the seal furthest away from the trailer on the exterior top of the roof.

I went to a maintenance seminar put on by the manufacturer of my unit and they did not have a very high opinion of Eternabond and would not suggest it be used anywhere. They suggested it could be used as an emergency patch but that the edges often failed to seal and should have a bead of Dicor applied to seal them.

I have never used it myself, just relaying what the pros said.

That's what i would try to do. When you install the new tape, then i would put some Dicor around all the edges. If you do it that way and do a good job in the cleaning/prepping, i think you will be good for a long time.
Good advice as suggested, give the Dicor some breathing time to cure .

A picture of the bubbling tape, and exactly where you plan to put the Dicor, would get better response. One thing to keep in mind, it takes quite a while for Dicor to FULLY cure. If you close the slide, and Dicor makes contact with slide seal, or whatever, it may pull loose, or damage seal, next time you put slide out.

First, I would find out why the tape is bubbling.
I don't know what the result would be of the seals rubbing on the dicor.
