The stuff that seals the antennas, vents, GPS antennas, etc.? Sure doesn't act like Dicor, it cuts like rubber...

There has been a kind of ongoing preventive maintenance discussion on another forum of this particular area and the correct sealant to use.

You visited Craig CO. lately?
Harry B said:I ordered the part number as stated for my coach and what I mentioned above (Nuflex 311 Silicone) is what I received It also had the correct Winnie part number 131264-03-01A written on it. If you look at your spec sheet, it is mentioned for use only on the roof. No where is else is it mentioned for use on the coach. I ordered it from Lightsinn Motors parts dept. and they generally know what they are doing .
I agree with you about the silicone John. If silicone is on my roof and I am pretty sure that is what it is, it will not be be replaced with silicone when needed. I have learned to dislike that stuff. I have used Dicor for any roof work I have done so far.
Harry B said:3M did not advice using the 5200 for the roof/side seam because of the UV issue, movement of the joint and 5200 not adhering as well to metals
SCVJeff said:I wonder if the non-self leveling Dicor acts more like this stuff? It seems to be able to be poured on pretty thick (1/4") without running or trying to level itself out.
