Re: Caulking
When I removed my fantastic fan, I thought it was sitting on a very thick bed of caulk that I would have to remove.? As it turned out it was a thick gasket.? I really only needed to remove, clean,

Re: Caulking
Steve, I agree with your analysis.? If it's never been removed, then the seal under the flange is a two part epoxy that Aliner uses.? I looked into it when I replaced mine, but it was not a cost

Re: Caulking
Carl,
I was impressed with the Cap't's advertising, but it did not work on my skylight at all.? I don't think it was a failure in my application.? But maybe I had some cracks I couldn't see.?

Re: Caulking
Alex,
I had a similar issue where water was dripping out of the skylight trim.? I too thought it was skylight related.? However , it turned out to be the caulking around one of my upper vents.?

Re: Caulking
Another trick you can use to find leaks is to sprinkle a small area that's lower down with the hose, then wait a while, and if no leak, move the hose higher up and sprinkle a new area, and keep

Re: Caulking
Thank you for the hairdryer suggestion. I will definitely try that

Re: Caulking
Hello Rosy:
Tell us more about your leak. Do you only notice it inside? Or can you see a gap outside? Unless you can get the caulk into the gap, on the surface it is really just a band aid. Sad that
