What's the name of that white tape you put down I'm going to be helping a friend with job like this

[@murrayswanson4715]

I’ve got six 20 year old skylights and 4 of them leak, but I’ve got the exact same super silicon product you use and I’m going to fix all 6 of them just like you show. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@ryanodonnell1892]

I haven't run into this problem yet but I really enjoyed the video. What you have gathered over the years is a very straightforward repair that looks damn near fool proof. I like it! If I run into a skylight that needs a solid repair this is my technique of choice! Cheers! Thanks for sharing.

You’re a good teacher. I enjoyed and learned a lot from you 😊

I need to fix my roof. I’m learning from you. You are a big school never see it before.❤

[@larrycrookshanks1646]

Take the skylight off and separate the aluminum frame from the plexiglass/Lexan and remove the old caulk. Use xylene to remove the crud and clean completely. Install new 1/4"x1" butyl tape around the perimeter. Add extra butyl caulk to the corners. Put the frame back over the plexiglass and firmly press the whole perimeter to adhere. Add a bead of butyl over the top to frame/glass and use a small caulk knife to smooth the bead.

Thanks for the content! I did my first torch down about 6 weeks ago, solo. Made sure to get the magnum torch, 40 gallon tank and 2 ply modified bitumen. After watching 20 hrs of the flat roof doctor it was a breeze! God bless you and yours on the journey

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

That is awesome! I am so happy for you. That really make me feel good. Take care

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

BTW, make sure you get yourself the small magnum torch too. It is a game changer. I only had the large torch to do detail work for over 30 years. I wish I had a small one too. It makes detail work a breeze.

[@gerimaxwell7451]

Hi enjoyed this video and actually watched it several times. I’m sure I would be able to do the job myself but my kids would have a fit if I climbed up on my roof. Unfortunately, that shipped has sailed for this old girl. I will hire a handyman and request he watch your video as well as keep a close eye on his work. A question I need to ask is where can I buy that fleece product and what is it called…..I can’t seem to find it online. Please help and thanks for your great video.

Wow; that black is going to be a game-changer. Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

My friend and I were just discussing people from Sweden this morning. I mentioned that I believed your education is better than in the USA and quality of work. I do believe you have a higher standard of workmanship. Thanks for the comment. Maybe I can learn a thing or two from Sweden

[@MMAGUY13]

I thought you were going to use that other poly stuff that you use on wall flashing on chimneys and on plumber pipes Is this black stuff sorta like the same thing

[@MrMoss786]

Preparation was so thorough and done properly. I guessed Turbo Polyseal but I seeyou chose super silicone seal for this job. Didn't it need a UV protection coat like the aluminum paint? Great video as always and much appreciated for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Thank you.

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

Thank you! Hey, I am so glad you are back. Sorry if I offended you last time. That was not the intention. Turbo Poly Seal does not work on glass, although one of my older videos I did use that. Super Silicone Seal is the only product that I have found to work on plexi glass, glass, metal. There is no need to cover the silicone since UV's does not harm it.

[@MrMoss786]

You are awesome. Thank you! It looks like the only way to buy super silicone seal is online through Bergstromm, right? Also, do you think that 1/2 gal is enough for 2 skylights? Thanks again!

[@wtpwtp]

What is the difference between the silicon that was put on it before & the silicon that you used?

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

The silicone from a caulking gun is not the same as that from a can. It has different properties

[@LO-cd7ze]

@@FlatRoofDoctor That's pretty darn vague.

[@stephenfallis9374]

Silicon in a tube is a glue, if it's made for spreading its a bonding sealant. The clear has to be applied between two fitting parts. The colored can bond on any open surface without cracking and releasing.

[@wilsonsautobody2246]

I need you!

[@Paces2]

What products are you using? I'm building out a campervan and wanted to install a skylight put have found a lot of claims about skylights leaking. Maybe this product would prevent that.

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

If you plan to flash it in to the metal roof, then I suggest Turbo Poly Seal. But to seal between the frame and the glass you should use Super Silicone Seal

[@Paces2]

[@Mari-su3nv]

The problem is that as fantastic as watching this video is , it's kinda a case of wanting this magic to work , especially for those who've already tried various failed solutions . The vomments don't help because everyone says "UUU , Thanks , " I'M GONNA TRY IT " , so there's no confirmation that it works . And even the "Short Term Testimonials" are of no confirmation , because as one response here states "even bubble gum may last for a few weeks" . What pizzles me is that videos for this product go back several years , why are there no longer term testimonials? Those would be the only ones of worthwhile verification . Personally , I'd shown this to a roofer who used it on s skylight and it worked for I think 6 months to a year , I forget the time frame exactly , but then started to leak again . Yhis would conflict with the video which says "as good as (as sealed as) new. But one experience is not enough to reach s conclusion , I wish there were many longer term responses of several years use order to get a more decisive opinion as opposed to million "Gee , thanksalot, looks great , I'M GONNA TRY IT " . 🤔

re the "testimony"- the repair lasted 3 weeks. Big deal. Bubble gum might work for 3 weeks. Let's see a testimony from a repair 10 or even 5 years later- much less "forever". This product may or may not be the best available for the glass to cladding junction (I'm still researching), but touting success after only a few weeks is very suspect. I do know Through the Roof works well for a couple of years, then fails.
