If you have a skylight over your tub, definetely seal it with eternabond. Make sure the eternabond contacts the skylight material and bridges all the way to the rubber roof.

The factory Dicor material does not adhere well to the skylight material and is prone to leaking.

I covered everything that had Dicor on it with the eternabond tape.

I used a bunch of Eternabond on my roof rebuild. It is so sticky, I intentionally did not use it around fixtures I might some day want to remove, such as the roof vents. I did use it around the skylights since they have such a large perimeter and they are not centered on the roof. The roof I added has a gentle curve, so water will flow away from middle. If you think your skylights (if you have any) could stand to be replaced in the next few years. I would leave the Eternabond off.

I would cover every visible seam on the roof with the Eternabond.

I covered all seams, screw heads, joints, skylights, vent surrounds, everything. Yes, it is a pain to remove, but I haven't had to yet and no leaks is a fine thing.

With the exception of the A/C, I put eternabond tape across the front seam and around ever place the manufacturer cut a hole in the roof.

Have a good one.
