Do you want to seal the fine cracks in the EDPM roof rubber on your RV - FOREVER? You cut it to length, peel the clear backing off and firmly press it onto the roof of your coach. It will probably outlast the roof around it until you are left with no rubber roof save for the parts you stuck this onto. My plan is to slowly cover every inch of the roof on my 34' Bounder over the next few years until it is completely covered. Seriously - if these guys made a peel-and-stick roof covering in one piece I'd use it, except for the fact that I fear I would be in real danger of becoming stuck to it during installation, leaving myself helpless on the roof of my RV like a wayward mosquito caught in the web of a black widow, or a criminal caught in that spider-individual's web of justice, resigned to my fate of imobility. Fifty feet of this stuff is a lot, but at the same time you might be surprised how many little cracks and stuff you have up there, plus it is good to have some on hand in case of future leaks, or the sudden need reattach an arm after a bazaar kayaking accident."
"I bought it to anchor the new flexible, thin solar panels I purchased to the roof of my travel trailer."
"The guy in the Eternabond video uses his fingers to apply pressure (not the roller) and he uses a utility knife to cut the tape. Something else about the utility knife is important which is that it can be used to easily lance any air bubbles or "tents" that occur has you apply the Eternabond. The Eternabond website says to use a pin to pop air bubbles and describes the procedure for what to do for "tenting" and I found that also very helpful. As it shows that where it tents or bubbles, the important thing is only to lance it and smooth it over and apply another layer if necessary or to make it prettier. I am totally new to this and could be doing it wrong so I'm just going to get to the pictures ... First I noticed the trouble spot by the back rear where the caulking was breaking down and this looked like an area where it was possible for water to pool. When I applied the eternabond tape, I pretty much put it above where I wanted it (with back peeled off) and let it kind of fall into place by gravity as I guided it laying it as flat as possible. then when it was flat, I went about applying pressure from the middle out and working out all the tents and air bubbles and I pressed on the sealant. I used: pair of nice, sharp scissors to cut the tape (clean scissors as necessary with acetone if they get gunked). utility knife (clean with acetone if it gets gunked). acetone as described above. dishsoap as described above. my fingers to press down to ensure surface adherence (not the roller). On purpose here I did not use the tape over the black rubber or the gutter because both are in good condition with no breaches so I wanted to leave them as-is."
"I used "100 mph tape" many times in the Navy including once fixing a 25' aluminum boat that hit a bouy ( I think that guy was from the Coast Guard) but this stuff is 10x better."
Size: 10.3 Ounce. Helps creates a watertight seal along the roof's edges, around air vents, vent pipes, air conditioners, and screw heads.

"I used this when replacing a water pump on my 2006 Camry and so far so good."
"Upside is that it'll go gradually from the opening towards the back, so you can still use a small amount of it towards the wide end within a week or so if you use scissors to cut it open bit by bit until you find where it's not hardened."
"Great automotive gasket maker and adhesive - I probably use it more as an adhesive than making gaskets - Works either way - I consider it Permatex's Best Product - Never w/o it!"
"This is the best "glue" for plastic parts on a car."
"I use this stuff as a gasket replacement on my scooter and car."
"Used for headlights and it works perfectly, didn't really make a mess because of the screw on funnel that came with it."

I noticed immediately that I couldn't simply rub my fingers together to "roll" the material to get it off, like you can with most glues. Now I had this satanic cement on my hand AND the paper towel had created a horrid mesh of filth that was resistant to every product known to man. I spent a minute yanking and finally got the towel off and saw the sad reality that all that pulling had made ZERO impact on removing any of the gunk. I started yelling for my wife and begged her to google this filth in order to find a solution....you know....since I couldn't use my phone for lack of having a second hand. I went and sat down on the couch dejectedly and turned on Season 5 Episode 4 of Dexter to make me feel better....although it didn't help much. I really needed to go to bed so I hit the shower and tried to wash my body with my brand new plastic hand. Even if the label on the back does say that simple rinsing of water and soap will solve the issue."
"This is a great product, a little bit tricky to use, wear heavy gloves when uses and think twice before your apply because there is no easy way to remove it also when it came in contact with other materials like concrete, wood or paint it can show up on a dark ugly color, as i said before wear gloves and protect the area you don't want to mess up."
"Filled very large holes in the exterior wood of a house ( temporary fix, Guests were on the way and no time to do proper wood work )."
"This stuff works great buy I can't emphasize this enough."
"Before I bought this, my life had huge gaping holes, especially under the patio door sill."
"Gap filler dries SOLID and white."
"The name says it all, it is "Great Stuff" I had a leak between the deck cover at the back of my house in front of the entrance door that nothing seemed to even partially fix."
"In the photo I tossed the snozzle in the bin I was filling for a reference on size versus the snozzle."

"What a pain in the ass this was to use."
"It's not too thick that you won't be able to screw the pieces together, and not too thin that it rips while using."
"Dixon Valve TTB75 PTFE Industrial Sealant Tape, -212 to 500 Degree F Temperature Range, 3.5mil Thick, 520" Length, 3/4" Width, White."
"Having worked as a plumber for some years back in the late 1970's the tape we used was a bit thicker and never once did we cut it. It does the job won't break the bank you MIGHT find Sealant Tape at the 99 Cents Only Store, but I needed it TODAY."
"I should have prob went with a different size tape, because this was a tad too wide, but that's not an issue since you can either have a bit of tape showing, or push the tape down."
"(Not for a very small surface). Maybe everyone else already knew that there is more than one size of plumbers tape, but it was news to me."
"I bought this tape to repair the power cord for my macbook air, and so far it's worked perfectly."

Find Best Price at Amazon"To avoid problems, I checked the “1” and “2” ratings at Amazon and at other websites for potential concerns: Sashco Lexel Adhesive Caulk – This caulk had high ratings at Amazon and other sites, especially by experienced contractors. A few other brands of caulk were for seasonal weatherproofing, which was not practical in this case. The ALLWAY TOOL CT31 3 In 1 Caulk Tool made it easier to work efficiently and accurately. This may not be best practice, but I applied painter’s tape to create a border on the floorboards once, applied the caulk to 2 walls in a row, then went back to the first wall (about 20 minutes later) and applied white Behr Premium Plus Paint and Primer in One with a soft brush and light strokes, then lifted off the tape. Also, when the tube was almost empty, caulk leaked out all over the caulk gun base."
"I have a gap, which fluctuates seasonally in size, between a laminate counter top backsplash and an outside kitchen wall."
"Used caulk backer rod on big cracks, and Big Stretch filled in nicely."
"Good caulk but wait for at least 2 days before painting over."
"Have started buying this and forsaking other caulking."
"Best darn calk out there."
"this works but a little annoying to use as it comes out even without pressure so it makes a huge mess."
"Thought this would provide good replacement as advertises up to 1/2 cracks."
