Has anyone had any experience using "Eternalbond" sealing tape instead of typical caulking on their R-Pod?

I sealed the spoiler on a 172 to the roof using it three years ago and still looks new. No leaks. I've also used it on a membrane roof to cover a couple of small tears from tree limbs falling. No issues at all. One word of caution, its sticky as h*ll.

Used eternabond 6 years ago on the spoiler. Sealed the screw holes and replaced screws with stainless at the same time. It has weathered some but that is just cosmetics. I am not real concerned about cosmetic things. Just want everything to work reliably.

Eternabond is amazing. I purchased a 4 inch wide roll and sliced it down the middle for 2 inch. After cleaning up the top on my 172 and re=sealing the metal strip that joins the roof to the sides I added the 2 inch strip on the roof to the metal. Super sealed. Also works well on the spoiler screws.

I found at each bottom corner of the vertical walls I also cut it to look like the decals and sealed each corner of the trailer as this is where they can leak. I feel so much better storing over winter with the snow melt on the roof and no leaks.

I've used it with excellent success on my pop up years ago. just for preventive measure i was going to put some on my Rpod roof seams that connect to the walls, and across the spoiler area. does anyone know how close the tan color matches the tan color of the Rpod?

Thank you
