I have a alpha TPO rubber roof its white and smooth on one side and rough on the other side. My question is I want to caulk around the edges of existing Dicor after I clean the old Dicor and roof off where the cap and roof meet. The lap sealant comes in 2 different types. #501LSW ( lap sealant self leveling) and 505LSW (lap Sealant HAPS Free self leveling) I'm not sure which one to use. Any suggestions. Also what is HAPS. Thanks

I have used the HAPS FREE version. It looks and goes on just like the other stuff.

And fwiw- I prefer Foster Farms chicken Franks to any beef hot dog.

JRTJH, HAPS (no hazardous air polluting solvent) that's funny enclosed is the danger warning on the back of the Dicor tube. Better put the bomb squad on alert before you use this stuff.

Sorry Chuckster, Nathan's All Beef Kosher are my favorite. If I'm going to die anyway, I'll do it with red meat (products)!

It sounds like from your comment you hsve gotten equal results with both ptoducts?

Yes I can't say I've seen any real difference in the two...Sealants I mean.

If/when I do eat a BEEF hot dog, Nathan's is my choice. I just prefer the chicken ones.
