Directions for Use:
Clean surface of all dirt, loose paint, rust, oil and grease. Allow surface to dry before applying sealant. Use standard caulking equipment to apply sealant. In cold weather, warm container at room temperature before use.
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
Caution: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid breathing vapors, open windows and doors or use other means to insure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headaches or dizziness, increase fresh air or wear respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA TC23C or equivalent) or leave area. Causes nose, throat, eye and skin irritation.
Spills: Keep container closed when not in use. In case of spillage, absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations.
In Case of Fire: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Do not use a solid stream of water because it can scatter and spread the fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground to distant ignition sources and flash back.
First Aid: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Glasses or goggles are recommended. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water of at least 15 minutes. Chemically resistant gloves recommended. In case of skin contact, thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water.
Health Notice: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful and fatal.

Thumbs up and thank you for this video. I actually saw, for the first time, the "cracks" that require re-caulking. That was important, but also when to caulk was equally as important. I would have done this all wrong. Your little swirls, or circles, remind me of decorating a cake, so that part will not freak me out. You brought this information down to my level and I understand what to do, where and what to look for on old caulk and new. Again, thank you. I am going to subscribe!

Thank you, I like this video because you got right to the point. We have a 2019 Winnebago Travato 59k that is just 1.5 years old and when I checked the sealant in August at one year it all looked fine. A few months later and after pulling down the shroud around the Maxx air fan I see that a tiny leak had started. Up on the roof again and I found several tiny cracks that are visible now. I put a small dab of silicone to hopefully stop the leak until I can put on a top coat of this sealant. How soon after the application can the sealant get wet? Thanks again Matt, Katie and I really like your videos, over time we really warmed up to your enthusiasm and knowledge.

I learned some more today with your video..hope u are still doing videos..I need help in several areas..one is..my recently purchased 2009 camper ( my first)..As I cleaned the roof...it is covered with "age spots"?? dark circles all over that would not come up even with lots of elbow grease..then...I took the cover off the roof AC and I don't think the roof in any part has ever been cleaned !! Under the cover were wasp nest and also inside (the ac unit..was also covered with wasp nest as well as a hornets nest ! (all old..thankfully...!! My problem is nor I can't seem to line up the cover to go back on right...?? I know it didn't shrink !! Is there a correct way to remove and re-install the cover??? Is there anything safe that will help get rid of these "age spots from the rubber roof.???

Most people say Dicor but Sikoflex appears to be far superior from the few that try it. It can even be applied in wet conditions, or freezing and seals and stays durable for several more years than Dicor. Apparently its a true industrial grade product. Costs about $14 per tube. Slightly more expensive than Dicor.

If you have a few ripples in your rubber roof, assuming there's no damage underneath, can you simply roll the ripples out and cut/reseal nearby at vents, A/C unit, etc? Whole other video probably ... ?

first thing you should do is throw out the dicor product.. and the second is clean the roof with something safe for the EPDM other than a dirty song of water ( mineral spirits is recommended )...the dicor product dries and cracks and splits and there are known issues with it if you google it.. I stopped using it.. and if you are cleaning prior to applying it with just water, then it will likely peel in the near future following your maintenance application.

I would suggest taking off the old caulk first as the adherent properties of the old are no longer viable. If you slap on new stuff over the old stuff, what happens is the old stuff will peel off and guess what comes with it? The new stuff you just put on!

Agree and disagree... You want to remove all the caulk every 5 years or so... but from what I hear its better to put caulk on caulk...

don't use lap sealer on your fiberglass roof, it doesn't stick well. use silicone for fiberglass and lap sealer for a rubber membrane type roof.
