Is all self leveling dicor created equal or is there more to it?  Here's some from Amazon that has Prime shipping available: [a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dicor-501LSW-1-Lap-Sealant-10-3/dp/B000BRF7QE/ref=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1458606240&sr=8-1&keywords=self+leveling+dicor&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011"]link[/a]

It does come in different colors.... that appears to be white.   I think they make grey and black also.

It is not all equal. For instance the product thedusty linked to is not actually self-leveling. Some dicor products are and some aren't. They make lots of products [font color="#10427a"]all intended for particular uses[/font]. Maybe you can contact Dicor for a recommendation related to your particular use.

Have used Dicor self leveling roof sealant a couple time on different areas on the Camplite roof & wall seam, roof of camper. It works great and comes in different colors. Good thing to have on long trips, too. Normally RV repair shops have it on the shelf. It works great on aluminum.

Washed with soap & water and used alcohol on towel to wipe down area for sealant to be applied. Let area dry & applied sealant with caulk gun, let it self level and dry. Try to have the camper level, too. We were in MI last summer and the AC condensation started leaking where the condensation sat on a roof seam. Found a local RV shop, purchased Dicor self leveling sealant and fixed the roof in about 45 minutes. Also reason to have step ladder while on the road, too. We headed to MT from there and have not had any roof leaks since.

Here's a link with different colors, too. Check the specs for colors.

Posted this in another thread:

"The first leak was getting by the running lights on the top & front of the TT. Removed the running lights and installed RTV silicone between the running lights and camper skin. That fixed the leak and went on to seal every running light on the TT.

Second leak was coming from the seam where the roof joins top of the wall. It had been sealed at the factory with a Lap Type Sealant where the roof joins the wall, but found a small gap where the factory missed a spot and was not sealed. Sealed over existing sealed areas with Dicor Roof Lap Sealant, purchased from local RV dealer, applied two years ago and no leaks since. We had lots of ice last week and about 5" of snow this week, checked the camper interior and everything is dry".
