{Failed} sealant to seal the gap between the glass roof and the wall without backer rod

  • Опубликовано: 3 окт 2022
  • In this video, I will be showing you how to seal the gap between your glass roof and wall that failed within three months. We found that the sealant was shrinking, causing the waterproofing paint to tear off after two months. Rainwater seeped through the tears in the paint, causing a leakage. A solution was deduced based on constructive comments given by viewers. Thank you for helping out!
    Update:
    We're back with an update on the rainwater leakage problem. We have been testing the solution we came up with and have found that it's working great! We'll keep you posted on how it goes.
    Thank you for all of your help in helping us solve this problem!

      You wouldn’t believe all the things I have found done wrong in this manufactured home. Including stupid crap done to keep from throwing garbage away. They actually stapled box strapping bands to the underlayment with 2 1/2” staples before laying the carpet down. Had to pull a thousand staples to get rid of the box straps stapled to the floor when I removed the old carpet to put down vinyl flooring. Then I found the bare copper ground wire that was ran to a hot circuit! Unbelievable! 🤪

      @@CTBLiew I’m a window installer here in the UK. Try and get hold of some PVC trim to bridge the gap. That gap looks about 20mm wide, I’d never dream of totally filling it with silicon. Especially if someone is going to see it.
      If you have to use sealant for the whole joint then less is more. Don’t let the sealant come too proud of the finish surface level otherwise it ends up all over the wall and the glass. As soon as you’ve applied the sealant, spray it with soapy water. I use a high concentration of 1 part soap, 3 parts water. Once you’ve sprayed your sealant, spray your finger and run it along nice and smooth. Make sure your fingers are nice and clean before you do this. Use some tissue paper to wipe sealant off if any sticks to your fingers. Don’t be afraid to really soak the mastic before you smooth it with your finger. Finally, don’t press too hard or the sealant will drag with your finger and you’ll end up with little creases. The same thing happens if you put too much sealant in the joint. Hope this helps

      He's talking about masking tape(aka 3m blue painters tape). Mask off the wall and glass to provide a straight consistent line. Stuff backer rod until just before flush(3/8" maybe). Fill the gap and smooth it with a set of caulking spoons or wet finger. If this is on your roof where only the passing birds will see it, don't worry about how it looks. I've used similar stuff when it dries, it feels like rubber like a car tire

    This is good! Some haters think this is garbage, but they are wrong. This not silicone. This is an elastometric compound that works best when maximumly worked into contact on the substrate is achieved, here this process is demonstrated against a textured surface and guarantees to have no air pockets. This is part 1, in part 2 after dry, the glass is cleaned up with a blade. The only flaw is he is not wearing a proper glove and generally use of a backer rod in the gap produces less waste and better fill up.

      I actually watched a program on TV the other day, and airplanes, cars, and other important things use versions of sealants / adhesives to hold everything together. they are actually made if you get top end stuff to be better than any other joint fastening space filler. I was amazed at what they could do with the good stuff.
      example windshields used to have metal fasteners with rubber bushings. now it is all 3M adhesives. said to be far superior. so unless I know what product he is using and can actually research it (this guy probably not) I will hold judgement as new products come out all the time and possibly the climate, altitude, or some other purpose calls for that specific use. but traditionally, you would be correct.

    Cut the tip at a wider angle so you get a bigger bead of silicone/caulk, this way you can bridge the gap and create a smooth flat finish in one smooth motion. If you do happen to make a mess like in the video then you can use caulking tools to create a perfect edge, they are really good I use mine quite often.

    Honestly this isn't the roofers fault to me. The GC should have left a spot in the wall for head wall flashing that the roof could have had bent to go up the wall under the finish and put onto the glass roof and then set in butle tape to the glass. That would be a proper termination in my book ☺️

    It's difficult to find skilled people that take pride in their work. And it's very easy to find workers that don't have any skill. Employing these types of guys is a mistake anyone could make. They may not even be cheap, so judging quality of work based on cost is not always possible before the work commences.

      Yes indeed it is true. The best is to show them what we do not want to see. Ask them for their procedures. Show them we do not want this.

      This method does not hold rain water from entering. It failed within three months.

    Could be alright depending where it is and if something else is over the top.
