Or is there a real reason that you do not want to use the nice, neat tape which seems to be nothing more than a sheet of caulk on a bulletproof backing. I've used the tape for repairs back when I had my pop-up and a branch cracked the roof over the winter, and it repaired very nicely and securely while still looking neat and clean. Rather than periodically recaulking all the seams on my roof, can I just go over them with dicor tape?

Some folks do just that. Sometimes even on a brand new RV. I don’t much like the stuff myself. It works well enough but I think it looks terrible. But maybe that’s just me.
