Glad it helped!

Could you share what products you used? Which fleece product? Ty so much

Thank you so very much! I can buy the Gaco Silicon locally here in Arizona 👍

Thanks Brian - It takes an effort. Taking the videos on the site is the easy part. Editing them takes time. it can take 3 - 10 hours to edit a video. This one didn't take that long. I particularly love this video because I think this is one of the best Tips anyone can use to fix a skylight. I believe this product is a game changer. Super Silicone Seal from bergstromm.com/product/super-silicone-seal-roof-repair-kit-5-feet/

let me know how it worked out

Glad to help

Except this is NOT how you do it properly. I build and repair skylights for a living, and I would be fired I did something this shoddy. You see all the moisture inside that bubble? Thats not on the outside, its on the inside, and it has nowhere to go, other than into the roof. Where it is going to rot out that roof, creating a VERY expensive problem a few years down the road. I pray that this was his own building, and that he didnt charge anyone their hard earned money for this. If he did, I pray that they sue him for the new roof they will need to have installed later.

Thanks, I think Super Silicone is a winner

Where did you buy the product from

Thanks Jake

NO. This man is showing people how to destroy the roof holding the skylight up. For glass skylights you use DowSil 795 caulk. You MUST clean it with 99% alcohol prior to caulking it. I pray that you did not take this mans advise. This is shoddy work, and will create a VERY expensive problem later on.

@@carllennen3520 hey thanks for this tip! I did not follow the instructions given in this video because he never replied to confirm if this method was suitable for glass. So what I did was just caulk the skylight lenses with "DAP Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk plus Silicone 40 year" . When it comes time to replace that (I fear that's soon, I live in SE AZ), I should clean the old caulk off completely with alcohol? I only have 91% isopropyl... is there a 99%? Thanks again for the info. I never totally feel worry-free about my three skylights that will leak without extra cautionary steps.

@Susan Taunton yes, you will have to replace that soon. It's just not a long term solution for glass skylights. Yes, they do sell 99% alcohol. You have to get it from construction suppliers. You can find them in any major city. They will also sell the DowSil 795 caulk. 91% alcohol will work just fine, it just takes longer for it to evaporate and become completely dry. DO NOT use denatured alcohol. It has an oil in it and won't allow the caulk to adhere properly, and will create leaks. Yes, you need to clean all of the old caulk off before recaulking. Use razor blades to scrape it off, then use the alcohol to clean the glass AND the metal. The alcohol not only breaks down the old caulk, but also removes all chemical residue that can stop the caulk adhering properly.

@@carllennen3520 Wow, thank you so much for this guidance -- your ideas make solid sense, And wow is it hard to get clarity on this particular topic. Normally the weep holes in the skylights would have been the solution, but our roofer plugged them up inadvertently, so now I'll have to keep on top of caulking these skylight lenses for the rest of my life in this house. Good to know at least the right way to do that! So I will look for the 99% alcohol, the DowSil 795 and follow your instructions to the tee. 🙏🏽

@Susan Taunton if there is any way to locate the weep holes, you should definitely do that, and take a knife or a screwdriver, and try to open them back up. They don't just allow leak water out, but also condensation. I think you said you lived in the desert, so condensation shouldn't be a huge problem, but it's best to have those weeps open. I build commercial skylights for a living.

They don't know. Horrible quality. They have no training these guys. Self thought

Super Silicone is a game changer

I am looking forward to see what you have. let me know

Siplast makes one of the best products in the roofing industry. it is more expensive than other compatible products but much better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

it works. This skylight was done 3 years ago

Yes, it is more fluid so it will flow into cracks. This is by far the best and only product I have come across that can fix skylights permanently

Hello, I wanted to know if you were able to find any info on the fleece? My skylight started leaking also and I’m trying to fix my skylight also

I am glad to help

Thanks

lol. if that is to hard to grasp, then fixing the skylight would be far above your comprehension. Thanks for comment. I like sarcasm.

bison rubber seal in europe.

Ok, why do you expect me to fix it the way the manufacturer did it in the 1 st place, it failed? The condensation is from a indoor swimming pool. I am showing videos for homeowners to DIY. You want them to not do it because it is too cumbersome. Your way would work, till next time. My way will work till a new Acrylic Bubble is needed to be replaced. Which one do you think people will choose?

The rubber gasket is normally found between the glass and metal frame. I don't understand what you are describing "reaching" Anyway, that is where Super Silicone Seal comes in. It breaches the gap between the frame and the glass.

lol that still amuses me. How people think that they can fix anything on a wet surface. Someone just asked me if it should be completely dry before making a repair. I almost told them, no, half dry. I don't get people.

Super Silicone Seal.

Flexseal is not for roof coverings Do your research

Yes it works on any surface

Bergstromm.com

There is an indoor swimming pool under that skylight. That's why you see the condensation

Bergstomm.com

i think this is the problem. You are correct to say it is Condensation. But, there should not be any condensation because it is a double layer of plexi glass. I think the seal that that was suppose to keep the air tight in between the 2 layers is broken letting that insulating air become cold causing condensation on the bottom layer. These plexi glass seals between the layers are not well done from my experience.

It is a Polyester Fabric and you can get it here: bergstromm.com/product/poly-fleece-rolls-2/

Yes absolutely

Yes i am. I have been here since 1986

With his method stopped the condensation?

Lol

You do realize that asking "you do realize..." questions identifies you as an annoying know-it-all who doesn't care about the basic subject at hand so long as it affords you an opportunity to make yourself known as an annoying know-it-all, right?

I dont know it all but brakes my heart when stupid people try teaching something stupid
