I cut a 8" length of 4" Eternabond and pealed the protective cover halfway back along the length:

So far so good. We had a leak in the patio room roof and no mater what I tried the darn thing still leaked depending on the way the rain cames down. About a month ago I used the tape down the seam in the roof that was leaking and NO MORE LEAK. I also developed a small pin hole in the awning and haf put a small cover over that so should be good for the next 10 years. Just google and you will find it, I don't remember the name of the compay I got my 50'x4" roll from but they were a roofing company supply house.

Hi all,
The only downside I know to eternabond is that the edge of the tape is sticky--dust and dirt will stick to that.

Yeap, but if it bothers you, you can put a small bead of sealer, and it is done.

Hi map40,
What type of sealer? My old RV was almost more eternabond than siding LOL! It did look ok initially--but then got very shabby from the dirt accumulation.

Regular Dicor lap sealant, not self-leveling. Just small enough to cover the sticky part.

On that dicor self leveling lap sealant, do you scrape off the old before applying the new?
thanks,

They recomend that you do, but I never did. I just cleaned it really good.

I had an RV tech tell me to clean it with "mineral spirits", but then I read that it would cause problems because of the petroleum. Something about not sticking as well.
What did you clean it with?
