Title: How to seal holes for mounting sat dome?
Post by: Paladin on October 05, 2010, 06:16:23 PM
What has everyone used to positively seal the holes made for mounting their dome and cables or any other similar things on their roof?

Dichor? Butyl tape?

If I went to the hardware store and saw it on the shelf, I could tell you what it was. With that said, I can tell you that it has worked flawlessly (no leaks) and the white roof coat adhered to it with no problems. I sealed all the mounting holes and where I ran the cables through the roof. What I didn't use was silicone! If no one else hits on it before tommorrow, I will find out for you. Good luck, Will

The Depot "5200" by 3M in the metal tube. RV and marine sealant for thing that go through the hull even under the water line.

Well waddaya know! I was out searching through my supplies and found a new tube of Dicor sealant I didn't realize I had. I think I got it a couple months back for something and forgot it.

Glad you're making progress. I used GeoCell Watershield and haven't had any problems either. Will
