Roofing Type

Ive got a 2017 XLR Boost 29QBS and am trying to figure out what type of roof I have so I can figure out which type of roof sealant to use. I know it is white on both sides so Im assuming its TPO.... Can anyone confirm this?

Yep watched that one. I guess my real question is, will the Dicor Lap Sealant work with my newer TPO roof? I've seen some reports from Dicor that say to use the Ultra Sealant, however it must have been discontinued b/c its nowhere to be found.

if you can't find it on amazon it must not be available...

have you thought about using Eternabond tape?

many of us quit using lap sealant in favor of Eternabond... good for 10+ years

use search to find many comments about Eternabond

I have. I bought a roll of it as well. I wasn't sure if the sealant or the eternabond would work for every repair so I got some of each.

This is my write-up about Eternabond replacing the need to apply lap sealant...

many others have chimed in over the years since I did this to say they also have used Eternabond directly over the old (cleaned) lap sealant and have said goodbye to adding more lap sealant every year or so...
