Can you apply Tape over OLD Caulking

The secret is in the preparation, as long as the "old caulk" is not loose and is spotless clean (mineral spirits or acetone clean) the Eternabond will stick fine and can be applied over "old caulking" be sure and have the Eternabond stick on the rubber/fiberglass/metal surface overlapping the caulked area completely.

I read somewhere that you can so long as you clean the old caulk with acetone--or some other appropriate cleaner--first. However, I've never tried it. I took the time to remove the old caulk first, which was easily done with a small Sheetrock mud knife and a hair dryer. I did it in winter months so if it can be done then, it can be done anytime of year. Just take your time so you don't puncture the roof material. I cleaned my surface with a rag dampened with acetone (not soaking). I let it dry overnight and then applied the tape. No problems since! Hope this helps.

I used this tape on a 10 year old 5th wheel. I covered every corner seam and the seam on the roof where the front cap meets the roof line, I did the same on the rear roof seam. I also used the tape around every vent/pipe/opening on the roof. I did not remove any of the existing caulking, I just cleaned all surfaces really well with acetone before I applied the tape. A year later we have no leaks. I also rolled the old roof with two part liquid rubber roofing. The two products work well together.

yes you can. You just clean the surface of the caulking really well and allow to dry. When you apply this over it, just rub it really well and it will stick on just about anything. We used this stuff and it worked great for going over old repairs.

You do need a caulking gun. Ours came with adhesive that worked great; if adhesive is not included, purchase construction adhesive.

Not really. It's similar to duct tape. Best to use tape to cover crack. Then get some plaster, key that dry. Then paint.

We use this on our roof. I don't know about caulking. We have a 1995 sunrise Tt and our rv mechanic recommended this Dicor works great on seams and roof. No leaks. The roof is rubber not alum.

Clean any surface well with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the 3M tape. That should help.crunchman

I used a caulking gun. As mentioned, it's sticky and you want a smooth application.

I have this although have not removed to recaulk yet. I have thought the a PVC wire saw may work to remove the caulk gluing it to the tub and wall. It's like a piano wire with handles on each end that you work back and forth. Just be careful not to scratch the tub or wall

Don't know for certain.... Never tried that myself, but it will certainly stick to any clean surface EXTREMELY Well, so as long as it completely covers the old caulk, I would think it should work fine, based upon my experience.

Yes, typically a standard caulking gun is used. Here is the measurement of each tube for your reference: 8 1/2" height & 2" wide. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Due to the nature of the material they are not perfectly even - however, I did not feel that caulk was necessary. Foam tape can be purchased at a hardware store if really needed. Since you can place the tiles as you like it is possible to align the ones to reduce any kind of instability. Given the size of the object you are talking about I don't see it being an issue and if for some reason the tiles are messed up you can do as I did and the company sent me new ones to replace the couple that I found to be defective. This is a difficult size to come by and since it matched the square end table I had purchased elsewhere a year prior I was very happy to have found this piece.

There would be no problem at all. Love the caulk gun. I don't bother using it for small jobs because it is a bit bulky. It has ALWAYS performed like a champ with thick or thin viscosity caulks.

No. It is not essential to remove all the old caulk. This stuff don't stick very good anyway.

It doesn't matter. Caulking is waterproof by nature the problem is that grout is not waterproof. This helps seal the grout. If you used quality caulk you will be fine. Basically caulk doesnt need a sealer.

I just repaired the crack with a piece of wide duct tape on each side. Works just as well as before.

I removed caulk and any dirt as well as rubbing down adhesive area with rubbing alcohol. So far, the product has performed above my expectations.

Did you try the patch kit? In the instructions it also says you can use duct tape for a temporary fix.

For small areas you can use a brush. For larger areas it is most easily applied with a sprayer. In either case do not over apply it. It is best to apply multiple thin coats. Smooth out any puddles that may occur during application. Also do not want aerate the Clear-seal while applying it.
