  • Roof sealant questions

    While washing the roof today, I noticed some peeling roof sealant. The pic shows the peeling sealant. The sealant is peeling where the roof meets rear cap over the garage door.
    It is a very thin sealant layer between the roof (on the left) and a piece of rubber tape (bright white on the right). It almost appears like the sealant was smoothed with a tool after it was applied. The seal runs the width of the coach.
    My manual says to use Alpha Systems 1010 non-sag sealant for the roof. My understanding is that non-sag is good for vertical surfaces where you do not want the sealant to slump.
    Alpha Systems makes a 1021 self-leveling sealant for horizontal surfaces (like flat surfaces that I am trying to repair).

    I was thinking of using the 1021 self-leveling sealant over the failing sealant.
    Almost everything on the is sealed with self-leveling caulk, except this trouble spot.

    Am I correctly thinking about the appropriate sealant?

    Raven's Roost -- I use the self-leveling sealant on horizontal surfaces.

      Whichever you decide make sure to remove all of the loose sealant. Where that is located it is hard to determine which to use. Self leveling may run a little bit towards the edges, and maybe over the edge. Non sag you could level out yourself.
