What about re caulking? When I went to clean the black dirt in a 6" section with my fingers, the caulking came off too, with very little effort.
Has anyone used something they did or didn't like? I read a reply by the RV Dr., saying to use silicone or like sealant.
Home depot is 15-30$ for a 12 pack. Or a flexible RV sealant online for $15 each. Thank You

We were told never to use silicone on the RV, we just had some repair work done and they used an elastrometric sealer on it

Silicone is very hard to remove when used---best not.

Dicor is one of the best sealants/caulking products that I have found. Preparing the surface is very important. Clean the area with denatured alcohol or acetone.
I agree that products containing silicone should not be used.

Wow, I don't recall Dr. RV saying to use silicone.. Just the opposite.. Never use that stuff on the RV.. as stated previously.. it really doesn't stick that well. He is a proponent of Eternabond. I am too. I also have used the Dicor kits with good success.

Silicone is OK to use around windows and vents, just not on EPDM rubber roof material. Other caulking materials work too.
