Self-leveling sealant
Good afternoon. What is the best technique to remove old self-leveling sealant from the roof? It appears the the sealant on the top of my trailer is turning loose from vent boots and around the front cap, in places. I intend to put dicor back in its place but need to know the best route to take in removal of the old stuff first.

Self-leveling sealant
I use a plastic spudger for electronics. Works great and minimizes any potential for rips or tears in the roof material.

You can also use a bit of localized heat to soften it up a bit too. Just work it progressively around each roof protrusion.
If you use Dicor, there is an EPDM/TPO cleaner primer available. If not you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean prior to reapplying.

Be sure to shop around, I bought 4 tubes for around $29, a few months ago.

The best I could find was $40 for 4 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/272436977144).

Bummer, the guy I bought from isn't showing any availability either.

I bought the 5121 Alphathane, a little cheaper than the 1021. I can't find what the difference is.

It might not make a difference for the original question, but Rob mentioned "later model" GD rigs having EPDM roofs. We have a 2019 Imagine with a TPO roof, which may be an "earlier model" or, perhaps, the higher-end units are different than our "later model" rig. The difference between EPDM and TPO can be significant when choosing a caulk to replace what was removed.
