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

Just ordered can't wait to perform the repairs needed to my skylight its literally dripping inside now at the kitchen counter 😩 🙌 but i trust 👌 this will end the leaking
Love u ! such a hero.
Enjoy ur vids.
Love your work
Thank you!
Great work team, I was going to get my house reroofed, and was contemplating the replacement of my skylight, that has no issues. This video has given me confidence that if an issue does arise I can quickly fix it myself, thank you.
Just don't hire this guy he pretends to know what he's talking about read the instructions a clean dry surface
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.
Where can these products that you are talking about in this comment be purchased ?
@@douglasdailey5998 Try Triangle fasteners. They carry 1"x3/16" rolls of Butyl tape and many more sizes.
Thanks
Great content and i always enjoy to watch your videos even if i dont agree with you sometimes, but still you do great work...and give good advice.
Love from Sweden roofer 🔥
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
Wow; that black is going to be a game-changer.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
I love you Canadians
Thanks for your comment
This was great advice
Thanks
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
That is awesome! I am so happy for you. That really make me feel good. Take care
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.
@@FlatRoofDoctor where are you located, I would love for you to fix my skylight
Love yo ur videos because I yours your procedure
Thanks
Dankie!
Give thanks...
Big up
Both of you are greath people!!!!
okay that was a great repair. i always fix skylights with alsan or alsan rs. kee that in mind alsan rs is better in my eyes, but good job on the repair
thanks
What's the name of that white tape you put down I'm going to be helping a friend with job like this
Excellent video! Step by step is great! Could you list the product you use? Thanks so much!
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.
I really enjoy your videos ..my number one question is not where do you get your products but where can I get a wife like that ..you're so fortunate n you're great together ...keep up the good work ..
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.
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.
@@FlatRoofDoctor hi, you didn't offend me at all :), it's just your videos stopped appearing on my feed until I remembered and searched for them and watched it. YT algorithm gets weird sometimes. Thanks for the reply, always appreciate your knowledge sharing. Trust me, you have my full admiration, not just your expertise but also your energy levels at your age :) 😀
What's equivalent to the black silicone you're using that one can buy in home depot? Thanks
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!
Great job and a great presentation except I'm unable to find the strip fleece you used. Is there another name for it? Could not find it at Home Depot or Amazon. Where did you get yours? Keep up the good work and many thanks!
❤
I wanna see more detail work on commercial flat roof thanks 😊 🙏
Ok next week I going to do a roof in Maryland. It is a torch down over an existing Torch Down. So what detail would you like to see? I'll try and incorporate it in the video if possible.
Like around cylinder vents overall detail flashing thanks mate
Great video!! Super Silicone Seal product is not sold in Australia. Gorilla Waterproof Patch and Seal Liquid Rubber is available. Is this an OK alternative? If not, any other suggestions for internationally available alternative? Thanks.
Would this work on my campervan skylight ?
Please provide a link to that mesh material
Thank you! I didn’t find the “SUPER SILICONE SEAL “ at HomeDepot store. Where can I get it?
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
I have an acrylic domed 50 x 50 sky light and it has a crack in the acrylic about 4" how do I repair a crack in the light surface?
Sorry. I see that you already answered my question about Bergstromm.
What kind of tape is tha? Fleece tape? I cannot find that online. I am trying to seal a leak in my roof and am having trouble finding this tape
I have a leaking skylight and I’m going to try your method to fix. I’m not sure what the polyester fleece is. Can you help me out here. I’m not a roofer just a home owner.
Where can I buy the polyester fleece?
Then,put them together again. They are designed for water to run over the skylight and under the frame to weep holes.
I have a customer who wants to black out their skylights to keep any light from getting in. They are about 100 feet long and humped like a half moon so the glass is curved. Would that work for this?
where can i get this type of product in Europe? Under what brand?
The black may look cool, but the white will last much longer.
Unfortunately, your right audio channel is not working again.
Thanks for letting me know about the Audio. I forgot about that. I think you actually told me about it last time.
The boss is beautiful inside and out ! Please let me be the first to know if you ever get divorced.🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
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.
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
@@FlatRoofDoctor Thank you so much for the reply. Im not installing side windows so a skylight would bring in some natural light.
What is the difference between the silicon that was put on it before & the silicon that you used?
The silicone from a caulking gun is not the same as that from a can. It has different properties
@@FlatRoofDoctor That's pretty darn vague.
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.
How to protect room from sun ? Skylight bring too much sun
,👍😜
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 " . 🤔
No flip flops?
lol it was to cold for that
🤘 Promo'SM!
thanks
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.
Way too much work. I just disassemble the frames, clean the accumulated dirt and debris, seal any broken corners, then put
is that joe bidden lol
I feel like that sometimes. can't remember a thing
You’re kidding right?
When did Joe bidden get his cognitive functions back. He can climb ladders now, what progress.
good enough for Joe Biden😆. what is equivalent UK product please anyone?
good stuff, set up afíliate links and this way you can get a commission for all sales
