Caulking An Old Roof

Recommended Posts

dddlin, what area are you planning on repairing? The reason I ask is if it were a seam I would use the tape rather than the Dicor lap sealant. Here is a link to the tape

If you are sealing around roof openings i.e. vents I clean off any excess with a putty knife, just be sure to be careful of the roof itself and re apply the lap sealant.

Here's a video on how to do it.

Its not difficult, but can consume some time, on a good note the Dicor product is pretty forgiving on the quality of your prep work.

If the old caulking has any scale and cracks, I would remove any loose from those areas and clean thoroughly before recaulking.

You can also Google RV roof sealant, repair or caulking...lot's off links to DIY or how to clean and prep, depending on the type off roof you have, rubber, aluminum, fiberglass, etc.
