EternaBond Tape 2 Year Review - How Is It Holding Up?
• EternaBond Tape 2 Year...
NOTE: Scroll Down To see the links to the materials I used for this project
I finally did a project on our 4 year old travel trailer that I've been wanting to do for several years and am very happy with how this project turned out. I installed Eterna Bond Tape over all sealant caulked areas on the roof to help prevent future water leaks.
The Dicor I use for patching and the sealant compound that the factory uses on the roof seams breaks down with time and with this leaks can develop and I found myself always inspecting our roof and applying Dicor to troubled areas. Installing this tape "Should" eliminate any future leaks from developing in the areas where I applied the tape.
"Warning this video is long and is very detailed with tips to show you how I sealed each area on the roof.
Note: Products I used and links to them are provided below.
Here is an answer to a question that comes up from time to time -
The best way to replace a skylight, fan, etc if needed is to just cut around what ever you are wanting to remove with a utility knife being careful not to cut into the roof material if you can but if you do its not a big deal.
After you do this you can remove the tape above where the screws are and then gently pry off what you are removing with a putty knife.
Install the new item on the roof but first apply butyl tape along the bottom of the item you are reinstalling just below the screw holes. Screw the item down and then you have two choices.
1) install Dicor self leveling sealant over the screws and along the edge and allow the Dicor to fully dry for 30 days then apply the tape over the item screws and then over the tape not removed (It will stick really good to the existing tape, just make sure you clean the area really well.
2) or you can install the item as I mentioned above and don't install the Dicor and just put tape over the item screws and over the tape that was not removed.
NOTE: if you try and remove the tape from roof material with a scraper, chemicals, or heat and the roof material was not put down at the factory very good you take the chance or the roofing material being damaged. So I find it best to leave the tape and apply over it, the company says it bonds to itself well and I also know this because I have done it and it stays put.
Here is a couple videos where I installed a few items on a PVC roof and did not use Dicor or any other sealant other than tape. I hope this information helps you.

Dicor drying times vary depending on the product and weather conditions:
In 50-70° F weather, Dicor lap sealant skins over in about five minutes, becomes waterproof in about four hours, cures 80% in 48 hours, and cures 100% in 30 days.

I’ve watched a few videos of how too do this. My OCD had the roof of my mouth itching watching them. You, sir, did a fantastic job. Looks better than a professional I watched. Very nice 👍.
Thank you so so much Steve, you made my day. I try and do my best to be very through showing and explaining what and why I do what I do. Most of the people like my videos and there are a few out there that say "you could have showed us how to do that in a couple minutes" My replies to them are I do my best to explain how to do things for everyone, some people are not mechanically inclined and I hope to inspire others to try to do things on their own to save money and for the satisfaction that I did that :) Thanks again Steve :) Here's a link to my other videos if you haven't seen them already, some of the first ones I came out with are informative but the camera work isn't all that good. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
@@thetraveltrailerguyxlxlx😅
I am an older woman. A while ago, I realized that I could get a big project (like this) done, if I broke it down to smaller steps. I do smaller sections or parts, one or a few at a time, and in a few days of a few hours each, I can complete projects alone. We need to be sensible in our individual performance limits. If it takes 6 days, instead of 1 or 2, who cares! It is getting the project done PROPERLY, not fast, that is important. Who cares when other people come buy and say "Are you STILL doing that"?. Just say " Yeah, I am doing it right, MY way".
In a big project, every work session is an achievement to be proud of. Small bites, also, get a big job done.
You don't have to kill yourself, trying to preform to other people's criteria. Go at your own pace with the directions of the project in mind. Don't hurt yourself, or waste product by hurrying..
Be the Turtle, not the Hare.
Slow and steady.
This is great advice and I totally agree. This project took me a few days because I have other things to do in life including resting. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@thetraveltrailerguy Thank You for a wonderful program. I plan to Tropicool my roof once it gets cooler, and past the rainy season. Your program showed what I WANT to do to make it a job well done. No one else on the net has gone in to such detail.
I am hoping that if I REALLY get this project done in the right sequence or proper reinforcement, the roof recoating will be leak free and cool for several years (not needing a redo every year or two).
Sometimes you have to spend some $$ and extra time to do it right.
Your easily understandable tips will help me immensely.
Thank You, again.

This is a really greatly detailed video. You've done a great job. I appreciate your time and energy spent in making this video.
Thank you so much, it does take a lot of extra time making these videos. But the reward is being able to help others learn that they can do things themselves instead of hiring someone, and to open their minds to come up with clever ideas :)

What an awesome comprehensive video with in depth details!!!!!
Also, your the finished product is top shelf!!!
I thought it might put me asleep bcuz its 50 minutes long - WRONG.
Thanx!!!!
👍😃🍻
Thank you so much for the feedback and thumbs up :) Yep its a long one for sure, I just wanted to show what I did and what I went through preparing the surface, installing it, and other things I had to do along the way. Its holding up very well and still looks like the day I installed it 2+ years ago. If I ever buy another trailer I would do the same thing to it.

Very clean and professional installation. I just sold my 2005 Zepellin Travel trailer and still shopping for the new travel trailer and been watching so many videos to get an idea on how to install Eterna bond tape properly and so far this is the best, clean and professional installation I've seen. I know you put lots of time and effort to finish you project and yet, you able to record and explain every details, thank you so much.
You made my day with your kind comments. I try and do my best to explain why I'm doing what I'm doing to help others. It takes a lot more time filming what I do but that's okay since its helpful to others. Thank you so much again, I do appreciate you watching. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Well worth watching. My wife and I just purchased our first brand new travel trailer from a local dealer after owning a couple used ones. I always kept up on watching my seals and re-caulking when needed on the used ones. I might do this right away to the new one once I pick it up next week just as a precautionary measure before the dicor has time to break down.
Thank you Chris, I must say I'm really happy on how this project turned out and how its holding up. I would do this project again in a heartbeat on any RV I may buy in the future right when I bring it home from purchasing. They key is to make sure everything is nice and clean before installing.

Looks great!
It's embarrassing RVs dont all come out of the factory like this.
Thank you, I agree all factory's should be doing this but I bet they never will because it would slow down their production and applying the liquid sealant is much faster than applying the tape. I do know if we ever buy another RV I will be installing the tape right when I get it home while everything is new and clean
Thank you for sharing this. You are a very patient man and it shows in your work. Your attention to detail and patience makes all the difference to the outcome of the job. The roof will be watertight for many years and you can spend more time fishing!! I'm gonna follow your lead! Thanks again ❤️
Hello Brenda thank you so much for your compliments you just made my day. I'm very happy with how it all turned out and most of all my worries of having water leaks through the roof area are gone :)
Excellent work. I have seen a couple of videos using eternal bond tape to seal the roof. Your video completely sold me doing the roof on my trailer. I especially like the little roller wheel to get in the tight areas. Absolutely a great job !!
This is the BEST video I've seen on using eternabond on your RV roof. What a professional, informative and instructive learning experience. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you watching Peter and your kind comments. I'm so happy you and others are finding this video helpful. This is why I make them, to help others. I must say recording and posting the projects takes a lot of extra time but its worth it and keeps me busy. Take care and happy camping. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Your video is the best that I came across. I told my wife that since our home is now one year old, and before our first road trip next year May 2024, we need to do a walk around and reseal the roof and edges of home. Thank you for your video !!
Thank you so much for watching and your complements :) You will be very happy with the outcome. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Getting that screen roller digging in there prevents water channels in those radius’s if any were to get in…. Solid job.
Thanks for watching and commenting Racing Junkie :) Yep I'm glad I thought of using this roller its the ticket for success. Since I shared how I did this so many people are now doing it and agree its the way to go. Thank you for noticing my attention to detail :) www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
@@thetraveltrailerguy My all aluminum gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters used an Eternabond like tape when built. It’s finally failing after 9 years. Some of it has become really brittle and coming up on one side. As soon as it’s warm enough next week I’m gonna do exactly what you did… exactly the way you did it. I put down dicor a few days ago just to get the leaking to stop in the areas that had totally failed. I hope mine turns out as clean and nice as yours. I DO have a screen tool! Again, great job. Enjoy the coach!!!
@@ReactorFour Thank you, the key to it all is the prep work making sure the surface is totally clean before applying and then rolling the tape real good to make sure it adheres and all air pockets are gone. Tank your time and all will go well.
forgot to mention i subbed too, checking out your videos this weekend, not enough time in the day. im sure you can related. keep em coming Michael!
Thank you so much, I really enjoy watching your videos. I hope some of my videos are helpful to you. Some of the first videos I put out are pretty rough and I got better making them over time.
I've seen some videos about this and this is the best one so far. I did this to my trailer then after I got all the tape applied I went over the entire roof with liquid EPDM that way all the seals and tape are encapsulated.
Thank you so so much Bill, I was originally thinking about making this a shorter video but changed my mind by going into detail so everyone can learn from it. I'm so happy you liked it. Also , I'm so happy I did this project. Its much better to have the tape than deal with Dicor all the time, and best of all no leaks :) I like that you took it a step further and sealed the whole roof. Thanks again. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
The devil is in the details… your attention to details is refreshing… As a tradesman and craftsman myself I can appreciate the extra time it took and additional steps to provide a professional looking job. This is how we roll… Thank you. Rick in KY. 👍😎
Thanks Rick, its always worth it to do things right the first time so it will last longer and I always take pride in everything I do. Sounds like you and are the same in how we do things, lots of pride in our work. Thanks for commenting and watching
Great video! I appreciate the patience you have as you're working. I can learn from that as well as the how-to-do info!
Thank you Dan you made my day. The thing to always do is take your time and do your projects right the first time. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Amazing video. What a superb job. I've watched many videos and yours is definitely the best good job
Thank you so much Kaylene you made my day. The tape is still looking like the day I installed it. The key to it all is making sure the surfaces are completely clean and taking your time installing it. Keep an eye for a video I'll be putting out soon showing 2+ years later of how it is holding up. Thanks again, you made my day, Mike www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
You did a fantastic job. Wish I could pay you to do mine. Lol. I know there's no way I could do as good a job as you did.
Thank you and thank you for watching. You can do it, just take your time and don't rush
Looks like a good idea. Very nice work! The problem for a lot of us would be working at such heights, especially as we age. Pretty risky.
Thank you Charles, that's for sure
Seal your roofs before they need it, or suffer the consequences, I learned the hard way, twice. I have a 1985 Fleetwood Wilderness 18D,
Great Advice Melanie, I totally agree with you. If we buy another RV in the future I will be doin this as soon as I get it home. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Excellent video I learned a few things. I also painted my refrigerator vent cover but I did it in white Then instead of using silicone in the holes I put rubber stoppers in to be able to remove them easily
Thanks for watching and sharing what you did. I like that you painted the vent white, it helps hide it on the roof and by being white it doesn't not get as hot, And installing rubber stoppers in the holes instead of silicone is a lot better than what I did. Awesome, thanks for sharing. I like it! www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Very informative and well documented discription. This will be very helpfull to a lot of DIY'ers Michael. Thank you. from the UK.
Thank you Owen, I appreciate your feedback :) I really like how this improvement turned out. Thank you from California, USA ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Excellent job, Michael, and a very informative how to video. I used 6 inch Eternabond tape on the front and rear and around the vents, skylights and fan. Next I will be using 4 inch Eternabond along the sides using the roller and screen tool to properly seal it to the roofing membrane, metal edging, and vinyl gasket. I also rounded the edges.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching :) So with the 6 & 4 inch tape you should never see any water ever getting into your RV through your roof :) I like it and I know you will also :)

What a great job I've been watching a lot of videos on this tape. You did an awesome job on this project !
My skylight has been leaking firva while. I've patched it many times with flex seal tape & spray but it doesn't last.
Im gonna be using Eterna Bond to fix it this time.
Thanks for a great video!!👍👏
Thank you for watching and appreciating my video. I'm really happy how well it turned out. It was a long video but I felt it was important to share as much as I could so others would feel comfortable taking the project on themselves instead of hiring someone to do it for them. Yep Flex Seal tape and spray is not as good as Eterna Bond Tape, its made to stick and stay in place. Thanks again.
... I wasted a LOT of eternabond yesterday. I wish I'd seen this video before. What a masterful job!
Thank you so much for watching Gaius. Sorry to hear you wasted so much tape, what happened? ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Excellent information thank you I am about to do the same thing you gave me some wonderful ideas I appreciate it. > Merton
That's great, the most important thing is making sure the surface is clean and you make sure you roll the tape so it sticks well. I really like how this project turned out and am so happy I did it. It looks the same as the day I installed it :) Thanks so much for watching an commenting
Great video! We just purchased a 2010 5th wheel, and the first thing I will do is inspect and reseal everything that looks like it could possibly be a future leak. Just one tip on using the Eternabond tape......you should always start at the back of the roof, and work your way towards the front. The reason being, the tape overlaps will always be facing the rear, so that when you're pulling your camper down the road in the rain, the water will run off one piece of tape onto the top of the other, moving towards the back of the camper. Your overlaps should always direct the water onto the TOP of the next piece. And......thanks for the roller tip!!! That was genius!!!! Happy camping!
Thanks Randy and thank you for watching :) That's a great tip you shared
I was checking out his over laps also and noticed that he was doing good until near the end of the video and then he lapped front then back.
Quality work, quality video. Great application of the seal tape using the backing to advantage. That helps reduce air bubble a LOT.
That wooden handled roller with the steel wheels is called "Spline Roller for Window and Door Bug Screen", sometimes its hard to find on websites because most searches with "roller" only return paint supplies. Stay gold.
Thanks again :) life is good not having to touch up the roof seals every few months and not have to worry about the trailer being damaged from roof leaks. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Excellent video! Your video could be used by the Eternabond factory as a training film. Thank you!
Thank you so much Gary, it took awhile to do this project and document everything but was worth it. I appreciate you watching and your feedback, you made my day.

I use scissors with Teflon coating from Wal-Mart. Kid size is under $3. I never have gummy scissors anymore!
Great tip I need to buy some :) Thank you
Patience is your strength. Great job and thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching, Its good to take your time and do the job right the first time.
Fantastic video! You've given me the knowledge and confidence to repair my trailer. Getting from the ladder onto and off of the roof is now the greater challenge!
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback Stella. I sure appreciate it very much. This is exactly why I make these videos, so people can learn how to do repairs themselves with confidence.

For someone like me that has never done anything like this,you make it look easy to do, very detailed, thanks for the video!! Great job
Thanks so much for watching and the feedback. I hope it inspires you to do the same to your RV. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
You my man are very detailed oriented!!! I work like you! I am so upset over my travel trailer roof that has been boogered up by two previous owners. It looks like two year olds were given paint brushes. I’m going to find some of this tape and get to covering up this gobbity goop poop.
Thank you so much, this stuff will do the trick. Here’s some links to some of the stuff I used.

Thanks for this detailed tutorial! Just bought a 10 year old RV this year that's needs water proofing and this looks like the solution I needed!
You're welcome, I'm happy it is helpful to you :) This will be a great improvement for your new to me RV
Absolutely the best video I've seen showing how to best apply Eternabond, thank you!!!
My only question is I always thought you couldn't combine different sealant products with one another.
Dicor with Eternabond or vice versa. Did you verify with Eternabond that it was perfectly OK to use Eternabond directly over old Dicor?
You are a consumate professional Sir!
Thank you so much for watching, comment, and compliment Stephen.
Eterna Bond tape will stick to Dicor as long as it is cleaned very well along with the roof area where it is applied.
If you apply any Dicor prior to installing the tape make sure you allow the Dicor to fully cure for a minimum of 30 days.
Eterna Bond will not stick to Silicone so if you have it then remove it and clean the area very well prior to installing the tape.
Make sure you roll the tape like I did in the video to make sure you get a good bond.

I am getting ready to do this soon....My trailer has a No-Walk roof. I'm a little nervous about the front cap, AC and antenna in towards the roof center, that they will be hard to access. We'll see.....but first I will be swapping out the stock dometic 300 specimen collector for the 310 model with the one piece ceramic bowl. Just came via FedEX today.
Sounds like you have some work on your hands making improvements, that's a good thing. I was thinking what you might try so you can get on the roof is to buy a thin sheet of plywood and place it on the roof where you want to work on it and move it around to places you need to work. Just a thought www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Looks great. My concern is what on earth would you do if your skylight was damaged? How would you ever remove it & replace?
Great question I know I have answered this question before somewhere. I should have covered this in the video. I will when I make a follow up video in the near future on how its all holding up (it still looks like the day I installed it).
Lets say I have to replace my skylight:
1) The tape is pretty hard to remove so I would carefully cut around the edge of the skylight being careful not to cut the roof even though it would not hurt anything.
2) Then I would remove the tape where the screws hold down the skylight and then remove the skylight.
3) I would then install the new skylight and put a small amount of self leveling Dicor along the edge of the skylight and over the screw heads. And then wait one (1) month for the Dicor to cure as recommended by Dicor.
4) After curing I would just place new Eterna Bond Tape over the skylight screws along with the outside edge of the skylight right over the Dicor and existing Eterna Bond Tape. It does a great job sticking to itself for a great seal.
5) If your skylight is older or made out of cheap material I would suggest replacing it with a new quality made skylight prior to installing the tape.
I hope this answers your question? Thanks for watching

Great video! So helpful and detailed. I’m thinking about applying Henry’s Tropicool over the roof, after applying Eternabond. Is that something you’d ever consider doing or have hesitation with that for any reason? Just looking for opinions.
Thank you so much. For the roof you see in the video, its been taken care of and it still looks great so I have not thought of doing this.
You know I'm not sure, you might want to contact Henry's to ask them if you can apply it over Henry's. I'm thinking you can but I'm not sure.
Here's what others have wrote about it that may help you:

Michael- you do remarkable work. Real old fashioned attention to detail.
Thank you Captain, I was really happy how this project turned out
So super clean job, but does this or would this ever effect your roof warranty? I don’t see how it would but I’m considering doing this… and you would think this would honestly outlast the roof…
Thank you for commenting, watching, and asking your question. Here's what Eterna Bond says about longevity:
How long does EternaBond® last?
Because EternaBond® is made using MicroSealant Technology®, depending on surrounding conditions, EternaBond® has an estimated life expectancy of 18-35 years if applied correctly. The "pre-activated" shelf life of EternaBond®, stored correctly, is 5 years!
Regarding warranty I personally feel it will do no harm installing this tape if you install it correctly, most warrantees are only for one year so if you are worried about that I would wait one year after purchasing a new trailer to do it. If I had to do it all over again I would have done this on the day I brought it home from the dealer, it would be easier to install with a nice clean roof and joint sealant. I feel it will outlast the roof, it still looks like the day I installed it.

Would denatured alcohol work for cleaning everything things thanks for the video very helpful good info.
Yes it works great and evaporates clean so you don't have to whip it off after applying. Thanks for watching and asking a question. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
@@thetraveltrailerguy thank you so much for the fast reply I really appreciate it
Either one is going to Break down; Tape or Caulk they BOTH need looked over every YEAR 😮😢😮😢😮😢
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I agree that they both need to be looked at every year or even every time you get on the roof or 6 months. Personally I feel the tape is a better option over the Dicor since it lasts much longer. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
What is the name of the white tape use please

Thank you for the great video. One question I’ve searched for and cannot find. I’m planning to reseal my entire roof using either Liquid Rubber or a similar product. I’m debating if I should seal the roof first and then apply EternaBond tape or tape it first and then apply the liquid rubber up to the tape edge.
You're welcome and thanks for watching and your question. I must be honest, I'm really sure how coating products stick to EternaBond Tape or how Eterna Bond would stick to coatings. I would recommend you contact Eterna Bond and ask them and the company that supplies or manufacture the coating to ask them for some correct answers. I've watched lots of videos on UA-cam where people have applied coatings over Eterna Bond but have not seen follow up videos to see how it holds up.
Here's a few videos you can watch that may be helpful:

Here's what another viewer asked similar to yours and my answer:
Viewer - "You did a fantastic job on that roof. I'm in the process of doing mine now and learned a few tricks. After taping with the Eternabond I will use a product call Tropi-cool to coat the TPO in between the tape. Would go over everything but from what I've been reading the coating will not adhere to the tape."
My Reply - "Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment and share what you are doing. You're going to be really happy you taped the roof like so many others have done. I've also heard that Tropi-Cool will not stick to the tape so your plan should work."
Wow that was super detailed and it looks great! One question...what happens when you need to replace a fan, ac, or other roof mounted appliances? How do you remove the eternobond tape?? Looks so permanent
Great question I know I have answered this question before somewhere. I should have covered this in the video. I will when I make a follow up video in the near future on how its all holding up (it still looks like the day I installed it).

Great job explaining the small but important details. You got right in there closely with your camera to really show how you did it. Thank you sir for taking your time and doing such a excellent job to teach us!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. You made my day :) I'm so happy this video was helpful.
www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
This has to be the best video on this procedure, I wish i would of seen it before I did mine.......lots of good tips..especially the screen tool. I did my edges the same as yours went over the screw cover. I used black eternabond which matched better then the white..
Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching. I bet your happy you did yours, less worries of a water leak in the future
@@thetraveltrailerguy yes very happy...the only area I did not use the tape was the skylight over shower and vent pipes..still on the fence on those
@@TC-tw5zk I decided to do it all but before taping everything I replaced my clear skylight with a white one and I'm so happy I did, it lets in a lot of light but less heat than the clear one we had. Also the clear one I had was letting in so much UV light that I'm pretty sure it was starting to break down the the plastic shower surround siding
I painted our propane tank cover as well, BUT I painted ours white because as our RV is stored parked nose towards the sunset down here in middle GA, the sun was (in my opinion) overheating the propane tanks under that black, heat absorbing tank cover, and it's not even the peak of summer but the propane tanks were at 125°F which puts the internal pressures of the propane at over 225 PSI, which I am not comfortable with.
Excellent job with the EternaBond project.
Wow your tanks were getting hot with the black cover, how are they doing with the white cover now that you have painted them? Thank you so much for commenting and watching the video, I hope it was helpful to you. It's still holding up great like the day I installed it, I'm so happy I did this project because it gives me piece of mind knowing my roof is sealed up.
@@thetraveltrailerguy The white cover keeps the tanks substantially cooler, barely any warmer than the white cover itself. Much better & more peace of mind!
Dang good video, well thought out and explained! One of the best I’ve seen on this subject. Very helpful.
Thank you so much Kevin, you made my day. I sure appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. - www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Michael,
Just watched your eternabond video, was very good and I have just started doing the same.
On the sides did you go down to the bottom of the rain gutter? It was hard to see wear the bottom edge starts.
Thanks again
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, we were camping with no internet service. You can kind of see in the video right here how far I went down (I did not run it down into the gutter) ua-cam.com/video/zUxnQ6C1BlY/v-deo.html / I ran the tape just below the plastic screw cover trim, doing so I was able to protect the trim from breaking down from the elements and to keep any water out of this area. Thanks so much for watching, commenting and asking questions. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Thanks Michael for the response.
I ended up going to the bottom of the gutter being I was using 4”, so more then enough to go over the top.
Got one side done, not bad. Did get a couple wrinkles but is definitely not going to leak.
I don’t think I would have tried this without your great video.
Thanks again
@@larryottesen7611 I'm so happy my video was helpful to you, this is why I make videos is to help others. That will work since you are using 4 inch tape. I was using 2 inch so that is one of the reasons I didn't go lower with it. I like that you did :) No worries about wrinkles just make sure you apply lots of pressure on those areas so the glue will adhere. Thanks for the update, happy camping. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
I would round all corners! It will seal and last longer!!
But great work and tips!!! Probably the best video for eternabond on rv roofs!!
Thank you so much for watching and feedback. You are so right on rounding all the corners. I thought about this right after finishing the project :) Good catch. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Great video - very helpful - thank you!
You're welcome and thanks so much for watching and commenting. The tape is holding up well and still looks the same as the day I installed it. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Great video…thank you. Curiously relaxing to watch …you have a thorough and calming approach. I have a 1987 Classic hymer that needs some roof work., so feel much more prepared now. Thanks again.

Thank you for watching and the feedback, I apricate it. I wanted to make the video so that people that have never done DIY before would attempt it after seeing the video so I went into detail knowing people that are DIY savvy would skip around it.

I think this a great idea. I am new to the maintenance and sealing my roof. Since the Eternabond is so hard to get up, how would you take it up if you need to replace something on your rood? Thank you
Thank you for watching and your question. The best way to replace a skylight, fan, etc if needed is to just cut around what ever you are wanting to remove with a utility knife being careful not to cut into the roof material if you can but if you do its not a big deal.
After you do this you can remove the tape above where the screws are and then gently pry off what you are removing with a putty knife.
Install the new item on the roof but first apply butyl tape along the bottom of the item you are reinstalling just below the screw holes. Screw the item down and then you have two choices.
1) install Dicor self leveling sealant over the screws and along the edge and allow the Dicor to fully dry for 30 days then apply the tape over the item screws and then over the tape not removed (It will stick really good to the existing tape, just make sure you clean the area really well.
2) or you can install the item as I mentioned above and don't install the Dicor and just put tape over the item screws and over the tape that was not removed.
NOTE: if you try and remove the tape from roof material with a scraper, chemicals, or heat and the roof material was not put down at the factory very good you take the chance or the roofing material being damaged. So I find it best to leave the tape and apply over it, the company says it bonds to itself well and I also know this because I have done it and it stays put.
Here is a couple videos where I installed a few items on a PVC roof and did not use Dicor or any other sealant other than tape. I hope this information helps you.

"Eternabond doesn't stick to silicone." Best piece of info in this video. None of the other videos I've watched mention this. So I was planning to use eternabond with tropicool which is 100% silicone. Good thing I watched this first.
I'm so happy you heard me mention this :) Thanks so much for sharing and commenting. I hope you can share how your project went here in the future.
Have you had any problems with the tape coming unstuck where you slightly bent the tape up the sides of the vents?
Hello Tim, sorry I did not get back to you earlier, we were out of town with no service. So to answer your question everything is still stuck like the day I installed the tape. I just made sure all the surfaces were very clean before installing the tape. I hope to do a review update on how its holding up in the next month or so (everything still looks like new and like the day I installed it) Thanks for watching and your question. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Great video. Why use both Acetone and Denatured Alcohol? what is the application for each?
Thank you Darrell. I used the Acetone to clean the Self Leveling Sealant (Dicor) and the Denatured Alcohol to clean other surfaces like the fiberglass, metal, and the roofing areas where I was going to adhere the tape to to make sure the areas were very clean.
bro it's the top of your trailer. no one will ever see it. just clean it and apply it.
Too late
Hey Michael. Is the Roof material made of TPO?
I'm pretty sure its TPO, here's one way you can tell - ua-cam.com/video/KL5qJw397Rc/v-deo.html
This is an excellent tutorial, I just purchased a 6 year old motorhome and the previous owner had done a similar job on the roof. I was skeptical as to weather there had been any leakage but he told me he did it as a precautionary exercise. I saw zero evidence of any leaks inside. I wish we could have some feedback on the effective life time of a job like this.
Congratulations on your purchase and thanks for watching Todd, is this you first RV? I hope to so a follow up video in a year or two about how the Eterna Bond Tape is holding up but I feel confident it will be fine.
Here's what Eterna Bond says how long it will last (this is written along with the stuff I used in the description below my UA-cam video -
How long does EternaBond® last?
Because EternaBond® is made using MicroSealant Technology®, depending on surrounding conditions, EternaBond® has an estimated life expectancy of 18-35 years if applied correctly. The "pre-activated" shelf life of EternaBond®, stored correctly, is 5 years!
www.eternabond.com/articles.a...
I've read that before you put it down be sure it's where you want it because it's almost impossible to remove and last longer than most marriages.😂
Good job! You put Eterna Bond around your dome and vents, etc. My question is, what if your dome breaks and you have to replace it again? You can't remove the tape to replace it once it's on there, right?
Thank you so much and thanks for watching. Great question, I should have mentioned what I would do should I need to replace something in the future with the tape now applied. Lets say the skylight needed to be replaced I would simply cut the tape with a utility knife along the edge of the skylight being careful not cut the roofing material (if the roofing material did get cut by accident I wouldn't worry) I would then unscrew and remove the skylight and reinstall another one, then reapply Dicor self leveling sealant around teh edge and on the screw heads, let it dry for 30 days, then reapply tape over the skylight screws and the tape that I had to leave on the roof. The Eterna Bond Tape sticks really good to itself so I would get a good seal. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos

30 day to dry ,,? concrete dries faster than that in the rain... guess ill find another product , thnx :)
If the weather is between 50 and 70 Degrees Fahrenheit, the Dicor Self Leveling Lap Sealant takes 5 minutes to skin over and is waterproof after 4 hours. After 48 hours, the sealant is about 80% cured. It can take up to 30 days to cure to 100% - dicorproducts.com/faq/
Which roller on the screen spline roller did you use? One has a groove and one looks like a dull knife blade.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, we were out of town camping. I use the dull end and NOT the end that has the groves. Here's where I show this in the video - ua-cam.com/video/zUxnQ6C1BlY/v-deo.htmlsi=xePxcvZvkLI9QpLb&t=772
Just an update the tape is holding up and still looking like the day I installed it, keep an eye out for my 2 year review on how its holding up in the next few weeks.

hi michael , what do you do around your air conditioner to seal it from water ??? geat videos
Thank you David. So I didn't tape around the air conditioner because they way it's sealed there is a rubber seal located under the unit that is sandwiched between the A/C unit and the roof membrane. This makes a great seal. I think I show this seal in this video - ua-cam.com/video/EWzYtLOwkdY/v-deo.html
I wonder if this would work on my 70's Shasta roof it's metal
Here's what I found on the internet, I hope this helps -
"Yes, EternaBond can stick to metal. EternaBond is a bonding tape that can adhere to almost any surface, including metal, brick, wood, rubber, stucco, vinyl, and roofing materials. EternaBond AlumiBond Waterproofing is a type of EternaBond that can be used to cover seams on aluminum or other metals."
Here are some tips for using EternaBond:
* Clean the surface: Use acetone or laquer thinner to degrease the area.
* Use EternaPrime: This product can be used on dirty or dusty surfaces, or when the installation temperature is below 40°F.
* Push harder if there is metal: If you apply EternaBond over metal, you can push harder.
* Remove old material with a heat gun: If you clean the EternaBond first, it will stick to itself.
* EternaBond is flexible down to -70°F, but it can sag above 250°F. It's also environmentally friendly and has a shelf life of more than five years.

Very detailed and thorough…well done. My RV dealer recommended eternabond, he stored it in the service dept. refrigerator to “extend” to preserve. It is expensive. I just applied to the front and rear end caps.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind comments. I really like how this project turned out and is holding up. No more worries :) ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Your presentation was very clear and concise. The best RV roof maintenance techniques I have ever seen. Patients and taking your time. Has given me the confidence to complete a lasting professional job. Looks fantastic! Have watched it several times.
Thank you so much Michael, I sure appreciate you watching and your feedback. This is one of the best improvements I have done to the trailer, no more leak worries. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
Thanks for posting. I'm planning on repairing a roof for a friend. Do you still recommend using eternabond tape 2 yrs later? Thanks
Thanks for watching and your question Ron. Its held up great and still looks like the day I installed it. The tape creates a much better seal than Dicor does and lasts and lasts. I highly recommend it, the last thing you want is any water leaks in the trailer to do damage. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
@@thetraveltrailerguy that is really great to hear! My friend has a really nice trailer but unfortunately has not had the time to maintain it and has neglected it. Now she would like me to repair the rottwn wood in a couple of places and seal it up to sell it. Thanks so much for taking the time to post your excellent, very informative and very helpful video!
Using bowls and round cups was a great idea to get those shaped out. Having a slab of wood to trim on is another great tip. I'd like to do this and then coat the rest of the roof with something, I have a TPO roof, so Im not sure yet what to coat it with.
Thank you :) sometimes you need to use what is around you to create shapes and for a tool. I'm not sure about coatings but looking at Amazon I see several kinds that are available to use. amzn.to/3GMg4PS ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
Rubber roof coating. DO NOT USE FLEX SEAL even if your friends, buddies or other campers say you can. In the future nothing else will stick to it and it breaks down to quick

Great job. Do you wanna do mine? 😂. Please.
Thank you, I'll be right over :) leave the light on
At first I was sceptical of the video length since I've seen some that are poorly edited. However the slow and casual pace is really helpful and detailed but doesn't seem like an overload of information.
I'm excited to use this on my new skylight and perhaps the rest of the edges this summer or next.
Also thank you for the product list, I'm in Canada so I won't be able to buy from the links but at least I'll have the names.
Thanks Sam. Yeah I know the video is long but I wanted to show in detail what I did in hopes people would feel comfortable taking on this project on their own rather than paying a lot of money and hiring someone. This tape is awesome and still looks like the day I installed it. Have fun and you won't regret installing this tape. Thanks so much for commenting and watching. ua-cam.com/users/MichaelBracewellTheTravelTrailerGuyvideos
thank you for being so thorough with this project and showing the real minutiae on how it needs to be done properly especially for people like me. one question do i need to wait the full 30 days to apply the eterna or can it be done after 2 weeks of caulking (diacor)
You're welcome, this was one of my longest videos because I wanted to make sure I covered the whole process. You will be happy you did this project :)
Here's the Dicor drying information I found on their website.
Dicor drying times vary depending on the product and weather conditions:
Lap sealant
In 50-70° F weather, Dicor lap sealant skins over in about five minutes, becomes waterproof in about four hours, cures 80% in 48 hours, and cures 100% in 30 days.
Self-leveling ultra sealant
In 50-70° F weather, Dicor self-leveling ultra sealant skins over in about 30 minutes, becomes tack free in less than an hour, dries in about two hours, and cures 100% in several days.
@@thetraveltrailerguy seems to be a consensus that it dries in 30 days so i will wait. thank you.
Great job with the details on this video, very informative, lots of good tips! Didn't catch what you painted the propane tank cover with. Mine is faded and could use a refresh. What did you use on yours?

Excellent job on the video....very, very, detailed. Thanks for doing it.
Thank you and you are welcome. I do these videos to inspire others to do maintenance themselves and save money
Just caught this video, best I've seen on how to do job right, I have an older trailer with metal roof and have been wanting to use this tape on all openings on roof as Dicor is just crap. Your channel is Awesome and I have just subscribed. Cheers from BC Canada
Thank you Marque :) This tape works great, just make sure you clean the surface well that you are bonding to and you will be extremely happy. I agree with what you said about Dicor :) Cheers from California

Thank you. I just subscribed to your channel :)
What a great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. You made my day. I really like the outcome of this project. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
You did an meticulously amazing job! Where are you located? Do you make house calls? L&L
Thank you, I’m located in Northern California :)
@@thetraveltrailerguy So are we!
@@lindap2513 I'm in Santa Rosa
@@thetraveltrailerguy Eureka and we come to Santa Rosa all the time!
That was really helpful. I have a '96 trailer that needs some roof attention in the spring. I think you've sold me on Eternabond. I appreciate all the tips and tricks too.
Thank you I'm happy it helps, with this old of a trailer I would recommend cleaning all the areas with the Eterna Bond cleaner and Adhesive spray to make sure you get a great bond (its located towards the bottom of this list).

I have read that eternabond can block water draining from the AC and allow it to accumulate and cause other problems. Does it block the water for you?
Great question Becky :) I have watched what the water does that comes off the air conditioner and it seems to be flowing over it just fine and not puddling. I recently checked all the edges of the tape all around the trailer and it's holding strong, I see no way water can get under the tape. I would think the Dicor Sealant would block more than the tape. I hope this answers your question, thank you for watching
Great video as always, thanks! What size/style ladder did you use to get you so high above the roof?
Thank you Jeffery and you are welcome :) Here's the ladder I use, it can be purchased at Costco in the store and goes on sale from time to time - www.costco.com/little-giant-megalite-17-ladder-with-tip-&-glide-wheels.product.100487758.html
I was wondering that same thing!! Lol
I've been tempted to rent a scaffolding to do mine! But to be on the ladder and filming is amazing! Thanks for asking him
Thank you! You are very didactic, clean and organize. I learned new and important tips from you! Great teacher!
Thank you and thank you for watching Maria. I appreciate your comments
Outstanding video. I’m about to try the same with my toy hauler. Spline roller looks like a winner.
Thank you, its one of the best improvements I've made to the RV and I would do it again if I bought another one someday. The spline roller is the ticket :)

We just did ours the last two days, looks good, but.... Sure wish I would have seen your video first. yours is so professional. looks great!! Great video!
That's great Pam, you won't regret doing this to your RV. No more roof water leak worries. Thank you for watching and your kind comments.
If you have this type of side lights you might want to take a look and seal behind them before wall damage occurs, they are good leak points. Check this video out - ua-cam.com/video/TlDDbE8votg/v-deo.html

How’s it holding up?
Sep 15, 2023
2 years ago I decided I was tired of patching the failing roof seam areas with Dicor Sealant and worrying about possible roof water leaks happening. I decided enough is enough and installed EternaBond Tape over all the sealant seams. Here's my walk around video review of how its holding up. - ua-cam.com/video/s7mjuCgLZkE/v-deo.htmlsi=fuSeD94R4aHAwjZ8
How's the tape on the roof holding up?
Great Question, it's been a year now since I applied the tape and it still looks like new and is really stuck down. I have followed a few other people on UA-cam that have done this and have had it on their roof for years and its holding up great for them.
Here's some information Eterna Bond has out there on their tape:
How long does EternaBond® last?
Because EternaBond® is made using MicroSealant Technology®, depending on surrounding conditions, EternaBond® has an estimated life expectancy of 18-35 years if applied correctly. The "pre-activated" shelf life of EternaBond®, stored correctly, is 5 years!

Thorough job Michael - I'm on mini lite site on FB your on - ole roofer/carpenter many years so did many roofs plus commercial rubber roofs. We only used Sika brand - way more UV protectant over time vs Dicor. Going to recaulk my roof probably later this summer but be using Sika 715 self leveling. Love your videos - so helpful - thanks
Your welcome Harry, thanks so much for watching, comment, and advice :) I've heard about the Sika brand but have never used it. From what I have heard form others its a lot better than Dicor. When you rechalk your roof will you be removing all the other sealant first? Is this what you use? amzn.to/3qDcdAK What FB group are you in?
Good choice sealing your roof with bulletproof eternabond. Their primer is a great product. It makes the surface tacky but their cleaner is a waste of money. Blue dawn does just as good of a job.
Thank you so much for commenting, watching, and you good tips. I'm really happy how this turned out.
