Careful with your Dicor. They make one that has to be used with a primer before using on TPO, rubber etc. It is not solvent based, I think. I have a battery powered caulk gun which is handy for old arthritic hands.
Approximate Lap Sealant Cure Times: (approximate times for 50-70° F weather) 5 Minutes - Skins over 4 Hours - Waterproof 48 Hours - Cure 80% 30 Days - 100% Cure
According to Dicor, "At 77° with 50% relative humidity skin time is 30 min., tack free in less than 1 hr. and dry in 2 hrs. May take several days to fully cure." I don't necessarily trust what manufacturers say about their own products over real world experience. But I am curious where you get your numbers from?@@yourrvspecialists
You can still over it as long as you go past the original surface is what we like to do that way you’re grabbing new parts of the roof material. Just make sure to clean the old sealant very well with a low-grade body solvent cleaner or denatured alcohol. Make sure to remove anything that is loose and then also double check your moldings to make sure that there is sufficient enough screws in them and that they’re tight and not moving. The end of the moldings and then look at some of the other videos we have you’ll see where we’ve added like additional screws and how we do it will better help you as well. Thanks so much for watching and for asking the question.
I had a hard time removing the dicot to replace a plastic skylight on a 5 year old trailer. After I got the skylight off, I saw that I had also taken the membrane with it. I tried hard not to. I wonder if it possible to not do that.
While I appreciate the info in the video, it doesn't seem applicable on my old camper where every screw head is rusty. I'm thinking I would have to replace every seam screw with stainless and then apply this system.
You had water infiltration. You should probably check to see how far the water damage went. Then just put new screws in once you have made your repairs, if necessary.

I discovered there's two different types of lap sealant depending on what kind of roofing material you have, but I don't see any videos talking about that. The kind that says ultra sealant worked good but the kindness that haps free caused my roof to bubble up. There is a video on how to tell what kind of roofing material you have. czcams.com/users/shortsguIdUthvRx8?si=bqFlDoUWm1lx6hxB

If it takes 30 days to dry, but I have no shed or storage to keep my RV inside, what should I do? Would it still dry correctly if it does rain?

Great job!!!
Thank you!!
Ever heard of flex seal?
Hi I have a question, how should I clean the surface of whatever I’m going to apply this self-leveling lap sealant on?
Mine always looks like hammered dog shit when im done haha 😂
Is it necessary to remove the old sealant...or can you clean it and seal over it?

omg...What did you do then? We just redid the screw insert trim, and boy were we scared of tearing or cutting the roof membrane.
What do yall use to remove the old caulk?
We use acrysol low grade solvent cleaner and plastic scraper.

Do you recommend Dicor for a Alpha TPO roof? Thank you
Yes every time
does it have to be dry for 30 days??
